Re: Bailey is anemic

Hi Belinda, I read your post at the anemia group...I am going to try to tell you what we gave Bandy at first.. We used a terumo syringe with the orange needle, I think it was 25 guage..it is a 1cc syringe..he weighed about 6# then and we gave him.07cc. The first mark on it is .1 so that isn't

Hi Kerry, Yes I did join the anemia group and am going to get the folic acid you mentioned. Bailey gets alot of the things you mentioned already. My vet also feels Bailey's anemia is non regenerative and if Fred Meyers ever gets my procrit or epogen (procrit is on back order) I will

Re: Bailey is anemic

Belinda, Have you tried B12 shots? These sometimes help with appetite and weight loss. Also, is he on periactin? Have you tried the liver shake recipe with him? It might also be worth asking for a dexamethasone shot. That sometimes jump starts them eating, and sometimes also helps with

Hi Michelle, She did give me an appetite stimulent cypro something or other, I gave it to him once, but decided the most effect way to get food into him was by syringing. He had a B-12 shot on Monday, and I have another but don't you have to wait a week or so to give another? My vet is

Re: Bailey is anemic

Belinda, Did you ever find out if Bailey's anemia was regenerative or non-regenerative? I think this is the same as responsive vs. non-responsive, but if not, someone please correct me. Also, sending healing vibes and prayers Bailey's way. :) Wendy

Re: Bailey is anemic - Wendy

Wendy, My vet feels it is non-regenerative, he had very few imature cells, his bone marrow is trying to make them but not succeeding in making enough. So hopefully the epogen will either kick start him or make enough to sustain him, I'm really not that clear on how it works, just praying it

Re: Bailey is anemic - Wendy-- how epogen works

My understanding is that it is a synthetic version of a hormone that the kidneys normally excrete which tells the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. If the hormone is low, the bone marrow stops producing. The epogen replaces the hormone and sends a signal to the bone marrow to start

Re: Bailey is anemic

Bleinda, I am one of the people who has been praising Immuno-regulin, but I used it for difficult URI's, not anemia. Someone else on the list had luck with it raising the WBC count. But the article by Dr. Lees on the website says that he has used it successfully with very anemic positives,

RE: Bailey is anemic

Dear Belinda, I'm so sorry to hear Bailey has anemia. I hope the result shows it's not the nonregenerative type. Sadly I did not have a chance to use the immumoregulin that I obtained for Flavia, so I have no experience of actually using it. But Michelle (Lerner) had used it and it was on

Re: Bailey is anemic

Best of luck to you, Belinda - I've used Georges Aloe Vera for stomatitis, and also Antirode (Clindamycin), all seemed to help. I've wondered about essential fatty acids to counter wasting. Was reading about CLA (Linoleic Acid?). Lots of good vibes for sweet Bailey. Gloria On Jan 3,

Belinda, I have no experience with anemia, so can only suggest trying the raw liver shake. But I will keep Bailey and you in my prayers for a quick recovery! Kat (Mew Jersey)

Re: Bailey is anemic

GLOW for bailey, belinda. no suggestions as the only anemia i've dealt with either was too far gone to treat (back when i didn't know what pale gums meant, sadly), or responded easily to resolving the cause (a really bad flea year, back before topical treatments.) re: the stomatitis, i echo

Hi All, Bailey will be getting epogen tomorrow if it comes in, I ordered it from Fred Meyer and it should be here tomorrow. He will get 400 units 3x's a week and then check his count again. He is eating a bit more today though still not enough and really hating the meds. He is so

Re: Bailey is anemic

Belinda, sending positive thoughts. Might it be useful to try the folic acid that seems to help Bandy so much? I have no idea what the cause of Bandy's anemia was or if it was nonregenerative, but I was very impressed by his progress. Michelle

Re: Bailey is anemic

Michelle, Thank you for finding Kerry's post's, I'm going to print them out and take them to my vet to look over, Bailey gets some of the stuff already (coq-10, omega oils) because I put it in his food, but some of the other stuff I will get also. I just have to be careful how much stuff
