Amy, Epogen is very effective for treating non-regenerative anemia. Treatment is not started until the HCT or PCV is below 20 and usually in the mid-teens. The Anemia group I gave you the link for has more info on treatment protocol. Sharyl --- On Thu, 8/6/09, Iva Lark Emily Seaberg

  If nothing else is working, by the way I have heard doxy can take as long as 6 weeks to show results, but if his HCT is still going down don't know that I would be thinking that.  But as I was saying if nothing else is working and you are faced with death, my personally I would try the

I have Sammie on MEGA C PLUS from Belfield website. I have been sprinkling this and AC-11 onto his food two times a day. I have been doing this since May so I don't know if it is working or not. Sammie is very healthy (as of today) but I'm trying to keep his immune system healthy.

I would keep doing what you're doing, 27% isn't horrible. Be sure and keep up the pet tinic, is he getting folic acid too it isn't in pet tinic and is needed for building new blood. I wouldn't panic yet, just keep a close eye on him and think positive. -- Belinda happiness is being owned

Thanks for the info. I've joined the anemia group and am reading up on it. Has anybody on this list tried the Epogen for a leuk pos cat that is anemic? I read a lot about Epogen being very effective for anemia and I read about people using it for CRF. Just wondering what sort of experiences

Great, I think as long as he seems to feel fine and his HCT doesn't start dropping I would be too concerned yet. All kitties are individuals and maybe that is a decent HCT for him, wouldn't want it to get much lower though. Fred's (CRF) HCT has been between 24% and 29% for the last 3 years

Bailey was on epogen for almost 6 months when he became anemic, it brought his HCT from a low of 15% back up to 40% within 6 weeks or so. When he passed he was still on a maintanence dose of epogen once a week and his HCT was holding at 33%. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

PS. His anemia was related to his positive status. My vet thinks the virus activated in his bone marrow and that is what brought on the anemia, he developed pancreatic cancer in the 6 months we were trying to figure out what was going on. It was obvious something was still wrong because
