Any cat can be anemic. It's just much more serious for felv cats because it is
often nonregenerative. In my opinion IF I could afford it, and IF your cat
handles the stress of the vet ok, I would get the transfusion and see a
specialist. Buy some time, in other words.

I believe you can look into Procrit. There is another brand for it but I

in tiny doses with a syringe sub cutaneously but I had my cat on it years ago
that had FIV and it really brought her back to life. Ask your ve

I was curious about the mention of wishing cats could take iron...so
searched the web and found this:
Some veterinarians recommend giving a cat iron supplements, not
Many things can cause anemia in positives and negatives, just
because a cat is positive and becomes anemic doesn't mean the reason for
it shouldn't be sought and treated. One likely cause for a cat to
become anemic is hemobartonella which is extremely difficult to test for
... I know more
Please forgive my ignorance, but I thought it was just something that happens
with FeLV+ kitties. Isn't the FeLV the reason?

don't know what is used.
The cost of a transfusion varies greatly. You might want to check around. It
is my understating that receiving a transfusion is not painful.
