This is totally and absolutely incorrect but warned me that it usually only works a couple times because an immunity develops please ask him to do some research on this, I know from experience of my own cat and hundreds of people on the anemia list with cats getting epogen, procrit and the

Dilemma, dilemma... Last night, I was pretty much resigned to letting Olive pass. Not happily resigned, now, for I cried for hours and then couldn't sleep. I had actually typed up a huge email about my reasoning a few minutes ago, but I just got off the phone with my vet, and now I'm once

Hey Megan, Make sure you do research on the doxy shot. The protocol for hemobaronella is 3 weeks of consecutive treatment with pills (not sure of the dosage). How long will a doxy shot last? I would pill her instead, especially if your vet doesn't know much about hemobart. I've never heard

Megan Let me complicate things a bit more but perhaps it will help too... Anemia isn't just the cat feeling sleepy... It is all the organs dyeing because the blood can't feed them without the red blood cells... If you are going to try and save Olive you have to stick a stake in the ground and

Hi Megan, Everyday I get on the computer. I first look to see how Olive is doing. I so want her to have some good quality time with you. There are others on this group that may be more experienced with this disease than I, but I wound up on a very fast learning curve with one cat initially dying

Oops guys I was trying to look up spelling of hepatic and hit send. I will complete the email here. That cat was Pumpkin, Junior had already been treated for anemia and lethargy. Pumkinwas hiding symptoms so I was not aware how sick he was. Pumpkin crashed at the vets office and I could not bear

I am endlessly conflicted. I think I'll have resigned myself to something, then I'll change my mind, then I decide to do something else, and then I get on here and feel horrible for not doing anything, so I feel like I really need to now. I have to admit, the list has been helpful, but it's

Oh, Megan, it is so hard to know what to do! I'm praying (and so are my kitties) for you, the doctors and little Olive, too, to be able to make the right decision for her. Sleeping on it really does work and may somehow clear your head for the decisions you all have to make. Please have
