Amy, You have a cat in the stages that most of us dread. You have a few options available to you. You can follow conventional advice or you can take a chance. From what I've seen conventional medicine does not help in this scenario. My first question is this; Why is he on prednisone? The

Well Fred started having seizures 3 hours after his vet visit, we're not sure what is causing those but he is on phenobarbitol and those so far are controlled. He is eating like a little piggy and drinking. It takes about 2 weeks for them to get used to the effects of the phenobarbitol so

Belinda, Wow. You have a sick little kitty. I don't know if you're looking for input or not; and I know nothing about his history but I would suggest two things. 1. Find a holistic vet. 2. Check a basic metabolic panel. CRF patients often have electrolyte imbalances that can cause seizures.

Hi Amy, Not sure if I told you that Bailey my + had non-rengerative anemia and epogen got his HCT up. He started at 3 shots a week that you would be able to do at home, Fred is currently getting this for his non-regenerative anemia and in 4 weeks has gone from HCT 16% to 26%, that's

Hi Belinda, I definitely considered Epogen but have decided against it for now. Wolfie spent several months on Nutrived with no change in his HCT. I was hoping that might do the trick :( Thanks Amy Date: Tuesday, November 24, 2009, 1:58 AM    Bailey was on epogen with his non

Took Fred in today because he is getting weaker and weaker, his HCT is up to 27.5, so still going up, I think he has a massive infection somewhere, he does have an ear infection and is on ear drops for that but I think he has a urinary tract infection too. Will have the results tomorrow.

Bailey was on epogen with his non regenerative anemia and it did bring his HCT back to normal, my Fred currently is on epogen, he is not positive but has non regenerative anemia because of CRF (chronic renal failure), his HCt is slowly coming back up. I prefer Nutrived to Pet Tinic because
