Hi Amy, Not sure if I told you that Bailey my + had non-rengerative anemia and epogen got his HCT up. He started at 3 shots a week that you would be able to do at home, Fred is currently getting this for his non-regenerative anemia and in 4 weeks has gone from HCT 16% to 26%, that's abo

Belinda, Wow. You have a sick little kitty. I don't know if you're looking for input or not; and I know nothing about his history but I would suggest two things. 1. Find a holistic vet. 2. Check a basic metabolic panel. CRF patients often have electrolyte imbalances that can cause seizures.

Well Fred started having seizures 3 hours after his vet visit, we're not sure what is causing those but he is on phenobarbitol and those so far are controlled. He is eating like a little piggy and drinking. It takes about 2 weeks for them to get used to the effects of the phenobarbitol so
