We bought our Buzz a few more months when he was anemic by giving him Doxycycline and Prednesolone. It all depends on if you are talking about anemia and why she is anemic. Whatever you do it needs to be fast. Anemia doesn't give you much time. - Original Message - From: gary

Amy, I am so sorry about your Maverick. He sounds like he was a wonderful kitty. The things you say about him remind me so much of one of my positives, Tweezer. He was also in horrible shape when we got him and has quite the personality now. You are so lucky to have such a sympathetic vet.
