except for the first time, because I watxh him
7 weeks, or even 4, is pretty good. I agree that there seems to be quality

others on this list have seen I-R work wonders for cats with
I'll say it again, Bailey's HCT was at 15% at his lowest, his anemia
was NON-REGENERATIVE, confirmed with a bone marrow aspirate. After 6
weeks on epogen and prednisolone, his HCT was at 40%. When he died of
the undiagnosed cancer months later it was still normal at 33%.
