Bonnie, A friend's cat (here in NJ) DID have a bad reaction to epogen. It was almost like an allergic reaction to it - bad enough that the cat looked like she was dying no matter what. Fortunately, the vet figured out what was happening (in time) and discontinued the injections. But from what the vet said (this was several years ago) bad reactions were not the norm. Maybe something has changed since then to make these reactions more common?
