Chelsea got her first ImmunoRegulin shot yesterday. She also had blood
drawn, after which she collapsed but later revived. She is still eating but
is very weak. Below are the results of her bloodwork, it doesn't look good
at all at this point. I'm giving her pet tinic, oral interferon and a
product called Feline Immune System Support from Standard Process. The
bloodwork showed no Hemobart, should I still ask for Doxycycline? My vet
really isn't comfortable with Epogen, is there anything that I can tell him
to change his mind?

First thing is to determine what is causing the anemia, giving doxy
even when hemobart isn't found is a good idea, hemo is VERY hard to detect
and the doxy will almost always take care of it and won't hurt Chelsea if
she doesn't have hemo but will save her life if she does.
Blood transfusions, and epogen depending onwhat is causing the anemia can
really help. Also vitamin B complex and folic acid are needed to build
blood. Prednisolone can help if it is similar to what Bailey has.
