Natalie, what is this group and how do you find out how to make this tea/balm?
One of my cats has squamous cell on his nose. I give him C-Caps herbal cancer
pills, Vetri DMG, Reishi mushroom blend and fish oil capsules everyday. The
inflamation seems to be getting better but his nose is a
just got an email from a rescue i work with, about someone who adopted
a FeLV positive a few months ago. kitty is NOT doing well--with a
hematocrit of 8. she asked her vet about doing a transfusion, and he
said that's not done with FeLV cats. well, other than getting a new
vet, i'm asking you guys
I always caution people about transfusions based on my own experience. Our
kitten needed a transfusion due to her levels being so low which she did get.
After the transfusion she perked up and seemed like she was getting better
however an hour and half after she started to crash. Three hours
Hey Michelle,
does he have any other health problems? food allergies can show themselves in
the skin and it might be more than just the squamous cell. is any of the
lesion
simply irritated skin around the cancer? If so, i would probably go with
something like eucerin creme original or
did the vet have any idea about why a rejection would occur?
surely it's standard to type the donor and donee before transfusing...
it's an option in the tool box and knowing about it is good. also, every cat
is
different [just like us] and mileage may vary when it comes to various
Michelle,
If you have a cat with SCC, I would highly highly recommend doing the
salve. If you join the group (I can send you an email from the group and
you can join it) the woman who runs it generally makes the salve and you can
get it from her. It's not expensive. I have seen it work
I'd be interested in more info about this too

my suggestion is CERTAINLY to check for hemobartenellosis--why it
wasn't done initially, i have no idea. not knowing the kind of anemia
either, makes it difficult.
the vet involved claimed that they were having trouble finding any
blood, and they wouldn't be able to call til after 5PM. i'd
This sweet little orange baby was found starving in a ditch at a few weeks
old. We got him as well as we could but he never managed to be symptom
free. We gave him lots of love and hopefully made his short life better.
He succumbed to his illness today at only five months old. It's amazing

Prayers for you Heather for loving him while he was alive. His passing was
surely more peaceful and comfortable than if you hadn't found him and cared for
him. God bless you. Mike :)

I *know* you made his little life better with your love and care. He had a
rough beginning and the best ending any little foundling could hope for. I'm
sorry you lost him so soon. Gentlest of Bridge vibes to Theo, and many hugs
to you, Heather.

An HCT of 8 is critical, if it isn't stopped very quickly, the cat will die
shortly. My vet did transfusions on two of my FeLV cats, she should
definitely seek a new vet. The vet should have been able to tell if the
anemia is regenerative or non-regenerative. If non-regenerative, not
Usually, a transfusion with un-typed blood can be done once, but there is a
risk. If the blood is typed and a matching blood used, the risk is very
slight.

thanks, gary! i cannot for the life of me figure out why the vet
didn't check for hemobartenellosis, and no, cat is NOT on doxy! on
clavamox. (don't even ask.)

Sounds like the vet is not too interested in working with felv cats. Gave
up before fighting, huh.
With a hematocrit of eight the cat's in real trouble. If it's
hemobartonella the rbcs are being continually destroyed. They will
generally transfuse around 18 so she doesn't have much time to
Baileys anemia was non regenerative and epogen and prednisolone kick
started his red cell production and he did fine for almost 6 months, he
passed from undiagnosed pancreatic cancer but his HCT when he passed was
still at 33%. He started the epo when his HCT was at 18%, it dropped to
15%
PS. My vet did more than 5 transfusions on a positive and never had
problems.

THANK YOU, honey--i was hoping you'd jump in.
okay, here's the latest--she's found an er vet that she's worked with
before and likes (this one she took kitty to yesterday was a
desperation choice, as she's moved recently--and everything to him is
money.) they've got the bloodwork from the first
the er vet has seen the bloods, and no, a specific hemobart test was
NOT run, so she'll do that. from the bloodwork, she suspects that is
it, indeed, hemobart--lisa and josie are on their way into the vet's
office now. so think sweet, red-blooded healing thoughts for her,
please.

Hemobart is infamous for not showing up on the test, if it is suspected, I
would just start the doxy treatment, but without a transfusion it will be
tough to bring her back with an HCT of only 8.
