Yes, perhaps it is that he died in your arms and was so youngwhich makes it so much more painful. I know it was very hard for you, but I am glad that he was in your loving arms when he passed. What a gift to him that his last moments he knew your love and warmth.(((Kris)))Gina Kris Kulak

I will ask my vet first thing tomorrow about the epogen and prednisolone. His blood levels are at 11%, very low. As a matter of a fact, I may call the emergency clinic today and see what they recommend. I don't know what else to do. He's only 2 years old this month. You are sure that these meds.

You may want to go ahead with the transfusion to buy time, the epogen can take up to three weeks to work. With Bailey my vet feels it was mainly the prednisolone that helped with his anemia but we can't say for sure since he was on both. Bailey started epogen when his HCT was at 18%, it

I would try Acemannan shots. At least one person, and I think actually two, on this list, have had acemannan shots completely turn around serious anemia in positive cats. If it is an immune weakness thing and not cancer (or maybe even if it is cancer?) it sounds like something that has a
