Hi Lisa, Love that name Cloud too - just wondering, does Cloud have Lymphoma, Anemia, or what? I had two die of lymphoma. One, I think, Mittens, became anemic in the process and possibly died from that, before I could get a handle on it and get him to the vet. Gloria At 11:21 AM

Lisa, I can't say for sure, but I suspect you need a different vet. You haven't told us much about Cloud, except that she's lethargic and that she's dieing of Felv. They don't die of feline leukemia they die because they are susceptible to other ailments and can't fight them off as well as

Lisa, There is always something that can be done for anemia, though it sometimes works and sometimes does not. But it depends on what is causing the anemia. You have to get Cloud toa different vet-- hopefully a board-certified internist at a hospital or university or big clinic or veterinary

Lisa, that "diagnosis" does not make any sense. Unless they meant she is killing her own red blood cells, in which case she needs steroids fast (dexamethasone and depomedrol). You need to get her to an internist and also you need to syringe feed her some food. Cats can die from fatty liver

Hooray! Michelle's here! Lisa, listen to Michelle, she knows what she is talking about. You need to get Cloud to a vet that will help you. It sounds like tests were run and that (from your description), Cloud is battling an auto-immune problem. Your regular vet has given up too easily.

I'm not sure I was clear here. Lisa, if I were you, I'd call my regular vet that has seen Cloud and read them Michelle's email and ask them about the Dox and the steroid shots. Since they are already involved in Cloud's care, (you still need the Internist), they can prescribe quicker, you
