Belinda,   I don't know anything from the test results you sent, but it sounds like you have a plan, and know what you're dealing with now.  Good luck and head butts to Bailey.   t[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Yes. Combo shots of dex and depo.  Depo is long-term and sort of instead of pred, c

   Hi Kerry,  It looks like in Bandy's case his bone marrow is still producing a health amount of mature red cells [[normal myeloid maturation; megakaryocytes present with normal maturation]], whereas Bailey's is tyring to produce them but the virus is interfering with them maturing and being s

Belinda, Thanks for taking the time to explain Bailey's condition to me. I guess the pathology report is not what you wanted to hear, but better than it could have been, right? Belinda, I am a firm believer in miracles too, and will be praying for little Bailey. Hugs, Wendy _

Michelle, Yes I think I will stick with the pred for now, something is working and I don't want to upset the apple cart. His bottom is looking a bit better, but now Joey has the runs too (he sneaks the AD while I'm getting Bailey's food ready, it's probably pretty rich for him). Bailey

Yes. Combo shots of dex and depo.  Depo is long-term and sort of instead of pred, can last about a month. I am not sure I would even ask about Depo though at this point.  If he is improving on low doses of pred I think I would try the higher doses. The thing about Depo is that it stays in the sy

It is true that I don't think I would give a lot of dex long-term. But  I have seen it help short-term, like giving one or two dex shots and then just continuing with the pred-- the oncologist started simon off with one dex shot and then did pred for a while, e.g.  And i have seen it help fo
