Hi,
No, Bailey didn't have any kidney issues, we strongly suspected he
had cancer but couldn't get a conclusive diagnosis and without knowing
what type of cancer we couldn't treat him for it (as I said in my
previous email, turns out he had pancreatic cancer), I truly believe he
had
Looks like I got Bailey's anemia numbers all wrong (it's been a while
and I'm getting old :) ), here is Bailey's story if you'd like to see it:

PS. Bailey never had a reaction to epogen, it can happen, but if his
HCT doesn't turn around and keeps going down, he will die so when you
look at it that way, you have nothing to lose and may be able to save
his life. If you do find a vet willing to try it, don't be discouraged
and stop it
Time is of the essence for us and I need to know if there's something else
that can be done for my sweet little just-turned-one-year-old boy. He had
a PCV of 12% and received a blood transfusion, his PCV went up a little,
then back down, then up to 17% over the course of 24 hours. He was put on
Hi N.E.,
I lost an 8 month old FeLV+ kitten to anemia. He was at 13% PCV. It was
non-regenerative. I gave him an iron supplement (Lixotinic) twice daily for
about a month. He still had a good appetite and did Ok for a while, but
declined, and we euthanized him about a 4-6 weeks after he first
When my Bailey was anemic and yes it was non regenerative anemia,
we tried Epogen, it kept his HCT within normal range, I have also used
Procrit, when my CRF kitty was anemic. My vet didn't think it would do
any good but I figured what did we have to lose except his life he
lived for
PS. Bailey was diagnosed at 5 months old, he was 11 years old when I
lost him.

My cat Yang had a pcv of 13 and it does over night and she had a fever then
her temp dropped below normal, she was jaundiced. she was dying and was
felv + so we put her down while we held her. I hope yours has a better
outcome.

I have lost several leukemia positives to non-regenerative anemia. In my
experience, when all other causes of anemia had been ruled out (including
Hemobart), I was unable to find anything that stopped the progression. That
said, I never lost hope for a miracle. I hope you have a different
Belinda,
Was Bailey diagnosed with kidney disease or did his bloodwork indicate that
anything was amiss with his kidneys? I did come across Epogen in my
research, but the doctor overseeing his care following the first
transfusion insisted it's only for anemia resulting from renal disease and
