Foxy is on day four. Monday the vet told us she would probably only last 24- 48
hours. We did call the vet back and they ordered dexamethazone for her. We also
got oxygen for her to keep her comfortable. The vet said that her blood was not
reproducing red blood cells at all . They did test for
I'm not sure what kind of vet you are seeing but 10 is when a
transfusin is very much considered, it usually isn't done when the HCT
is higher than that.
10- even too low for a transfusion.

Sally,
If it is al all possible find another vet who is more knowledgable in
treating FeLV this vet is pretty clueless. An HCT of 10 is when a
transfusion would be seriously considered not ruled out, that alone
tells me this vet doesn't have the knowledge to help you.

I think you meant this for Kathy. Junior lived 1.5 years his HCT after the
immunoregulin was 30.

This may be too late already but what does your vet say is causing
the anemia If he said it is the FeLV causing it RUN to another
vet Is she getting doxycycline in case she has hemobartonella,
something positives are prone to get and VERY hard to test for???
Bailey was anemic
Thanks, Belinda, appreciate knowing that - I've had FELV cats died
with anemia, although usually mediastinal lymphoma - and I'll remember
about the epogen if I need to next time.

First of all- thank-you for your response. When Foxy went to the vet yesterday
they gave her steroid shot, and antibiotic (shot) and fluid under the skin
(shot) as she was dehydrated. They did a blood test and said her white count
was almost nonwxisent and her red count was at 10- even too low
I'm so sorry that you and Foxy are having to go thru this difficult
time. Wondering if the vet said anything else about her condition, or
did an xray or anything? The steroid, and fluids apparently helped
her feel much better, maybe the abx in case there was infection.
Maybe since she's
HI Kathy
Hopefully someone here can give you an answer. Junior was anemic when he
first got sick and was treated for uncomfirmed hemobatenella(sp). He got
over the anemia his HCT was 23. Not as bad as Foxy. He lated tested positive
for FELV. I too used Pet Tinic. He also went through the
Since Foxy has been healthy to this point, maybe this event is an
anomaly and that with the correct
care she will be able to rebound. Is the vet that you are using up on
FeLV?
As Belinda suggests, there may be a way to reverse her anemia. There
are people on the list who may be able to
give

He is not FeLV+.

We took our kitten Foxy to the vet and she only has about 24-48 hours to
live.The leukemia has taken over and her blood count is very very low. We are
heart sick but want to do what is best for her and I dont want to prolong her
suffering. The vet said we have done a good job keeping her
I don'tknow, I would think that oxygen would be a very kind thing to
provide, if they think she needs it. I used to have a cat carrier
that was converted into an oxygen carrier, but have since passed it
onto someone else. I got it for my Calawalla Banana who died before
I could get the
am so so sorry for what you are going through. It's just so painful.

Hi Kathy
It is so hard when it gets to this point. This is exactly where I was with
Junior two weeks ago. His breathing was very labored. We knew he had a heart
mumur. He lived a little over a year and a half of his diagnosis. I could
tell he was miserable even at the vets office after she had
15 matches
