Re: [Felvtalk] Anemia & blood transfusions

[Lorrie]

Marnie, I'm so sorry about your cat. I've lost many FelV cats to anemia,
and I too was advised against transfusions. They are very expensive, and 
they only buy the FelV cat a little bit of time.

Re: [Felvtalk] Anemia & blood transfusions

[KG BarnCats]

The transfusion is to get the cat past a crisis.  To address the underlying
issues, you could try treating with LTCI which is specifically for FELV+
cats.  Orally dosed Interferon alfa is another excellent treatment for
FELV+ cats, and cheap especially when you have multiple FELV+ and/or FIV+
cats (compounded liquid, 60 day shelf life).

http://tcyte.com/ltci-product-info-feline-leukemia/

Epogen is a drug that can be used to stimulate red blood cell production,
but it is a serious medicine not to be given lightly.  But I would try it
alongside the interferon alfa and LTCI in a desperate anemia situation, if
I had the money.

More info at http://www.felineleukemia.org/treatmnt.shtml

BTW I had a very anemic cat (FELV-) and they didn't know why he was sick
despite all kinds of tests.  Out of desperation we gave him the doxy, and
he responded very quickly.  So they figured he had hemobartonella.  He
recovered and is still fine, years later.

Re: [Felvtalk] Anemia & blood transfusions

[Beth]

Marnie -

So sorry your baby is sick.
The Doxy is in the hopes it is hemobartonella that is causing the problem. This 
can be a little difficult to diagnose, so vets usually give the Doxy just in 
case, but it works pretty quickly if that's what it is. I had a non-FeLV cat 
with hemobartonella & he started showing improvement within 2 days of the blood 
transfusion & Doxy.
Non-regenerative anemia of unknown origin is pretty common in FeLV cats. Most 
of my FeLV's have died from this. I would have to agree with your vet, 
unfortunately.

So sorry you are having to go through this.

Beth

I apologize in advance if this topic has been discussed recently, but my baby 
is sick and I haven't been on the computer much.

My FELV cat Thomas O' Malley, has non regenerative anemia. He wasn't showing 
any signs of illness until one day he spent the entire day hiding in my closet. 
I immediately took him in and he was already pale from lack of blood. We gave 
him a transfusion and he has been great for 2 weeks. Yesterday he went back in 
the closet and we are back in the same situation. The vet recommended against 
another transfusion saying its a waste of time and money because the FELV will 
continue to attack the marrow and he will continue to need transfusions.

I read that the transfusions can last longer each time you get them, but I 
don't know if that's true. Has anyone had a cat in this situation? Did the 
transfusion last more than a few weeks?
I have him on iron supplements in addition to the prednisone and doxycycline.

Thanks. I'm so conflicted. I don't want him to suffer!
