Hey Marissa, I have heard good things about Epogen, even with non-regenerative anemia, so I hope that he does respond to it. I prayed for Jake today and will continue to do so. Please keep us posted. :) Wendy --- Marissa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thank you Wendy. The vet did say that Jake

Thank you Wendy.  The vet did say that Jake's anemia is non-regenerative.  I am still new to this so I am not "hip" on the terminology but am learning.  Thanks for your prayers!  I am taking him in to get another epogen shot today, and hopefully he will respond.   Marissa  On 2/27/06, wendy <[EMAI

Hi Marissa, Did the vet say whether or not Jake had any reticulocytes present in his blood? This is important, because it tells you whether or not he is still making red blood cells or not. I put you and Jake on my prayer list. :) Wendy --- Marissa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just took Jak

Dexamethasone, Epogen, Immuno-regulin, doxicycline, and a transfusion.  Some cats on the list have gone almost that low, though not sure that low, and bounced back from combinations of these. Michelle

Marissa,   I am so sorry.  I haven't dealt with the anemia myself yet, but a lot of list members have.  It's really a decision you have to make for yourself if you want to treat it aggressively or not.  A lot depends on Jake and what you feel his quality of life is/will be with the treatment.
