I talked to the vet on Saturday. Smokey was getting
an injection of Winstrol every 2 weeks. We are now
going to try 1 a month. The vet said we might
consider stopping the Equistim at some point in the
near future. His weight is now up to 7lbs.8oz. and he
acts like a SuperCat now. I guess that
It's about $35, I think, for a bottle, which is at least 5 or 6 doses, I
think, from revival.

Belinda, while no one on this list has used I-R for anemia, the vet who
wrote the main article on it does say it has reversed serious anemia in some
positive cats.

Hi,
Just to clarify, Bailey never had a transfusion, he didn't get low
enough, but he certainly would have had he needed it. My Teenye years
ago needed a transfusion and it brought her count up from 9 or 10% to 30
something %, don't remember exactly this was many years ago.
Transfusions
Not sure why you are giving these
immunoregulin, interferon and supplements ,
they are normally not the things used for very serious anemia??? These
are mainly used as immune boosters before a serious condition exists or
to help boost the immune system while using the things normall
With her count at 9.6 it is a good idea to get a cross matched
blood transfusion, if you decide to do epogen I would get started right
away, it can take up to three weeks to work. Also I must again say I
would be giving the doxy even though she tested negative for
hemobartonella, many time
I regret not trying a transfusion for Moogie soon enough. She was too far gone
by the
time I realized it was an option, her organs were shutting down. I wish my vet
would
have explained it to me and made it an option in time to buy a few more weeks
with
her.

Deanne,
While I respect and believe the opinions of the folks you
talked to, I am glad that I gave Simon his transfusions as he would have died
months earlier without them giving him the chance to respond to chemo, and I
believe Belinda gave Bailey a transfusion and his hematocrit came
Deanne,
I'm so sorry to hear about your baby. I chose not to
transfuse Cricket also, because I didn't really have
the money and I didn't want to prolong the inevitable
if it was indeed the inevitable. In hindsight, and
had I had the 300-400$ (could be less elsewhere), I
would have done the trans
interferon and supplements.
Thank you for your help and thoughts. Deanne

Hi Deanne,
I had my kitty Cricket on ImmunoRegulin only for about
a week or two, but lost him to anemia in November. I
think I gave it to him too late. Is Chelsea anemic?
If so, you should also consider Epogen. Other members
here have more experience with either of these than I
do. Good luck
I would think that any cat that collapsed after a blood draw would immediately
get a
transfusion as a matter of course. Perhaps I missed something coming in late to
this
topic though
I have a huge 18 pound cat now, I'm seriously thinking of putting him on the
emergency cat blood donor list f
Hi. With a hematocrit of 9.6, if you want the chance to treat her I think
you need to get her a transfusion. That value is very low, and if it goes lower
she will not make it. A transfusion can buy you days or weeks to get other
treatments going.
Tell your vet that several of the cats on

That's wonderful news about Smokey! How long does the vet intend to
keep him on Winstrol? I know there are people that treat with equistim,
(Immuno Regulin), as a preventative, but because it is a bacteria used
to stimulate the immune response, I would think it wouldn't be something

First thing is to determine what is causing the anemia, giving doxy
even when hemobart isn't found is a good idea, hemo is VERY hard to
detect and the doxy will almost always take care of it and won't hurt
Chelsea if she doesn't have hemo but will save her life if she does.

Lots of people, including me, have had success with it for URI's, and it is
supposed to help with anemia. But those who have gotten good results with
anemia, getting blood counts back to normal, have also used Epogen, steroids,
folic acid, and various supplements. Look in the archives for t
