Yeah, that's pretty
much what the doctors have said, too :). One commented that she is like
the Energizer Bunny - just keeps goin', and goin', and goin'. I just want
to thank everybody for all the information they share on this list because I
have learned some things that I know will be helpful in the future. It's
hard to find people who care this much for the animals.

I need to share the story of my
cat, Spaz, with all of you. Perhaps it will help someone out
there. Spaz was diagnosed at 8 years of age with leukemia. She
was an indoor-only cat, except for one summer when she was a kitten, from
about 8-10 months of age. Her PCV was down around 7%, and my vet
gave her an injection of prednisolone. The response was almost
immediate, and by the next morning, I had a totally different cat on my
hands! She was totally fine for over two and half years, then
had a mild bout with anemia again. We dealt with that through pred.
tablets. Six months after that, she had another serious bout with
anemia, and our new vet (we had moved) gave her Depo-Medrol. It
had zero effect. It's a rather long story, but I could not remember
the name 'prednisolone' at this time and could not get my old vet's office
to look up her records. We tried Interferon and Winstrol, which did
not help. I FINALLY got the info. from my old vet, but was told by
them and every vet I talked to that Depo-Medrol and prednisolone will do
the same thing. Fortunately, my vet was willing to try anything I
wanted, and we did, and it worked again! So I feel it is of the
utmost importance to let people know that they DO NOT necessarily react
the same when they supposedly should. As for Spaz, she suffered some
mild problems and a rough upper resp. infection after this, but she now
has been perfectly healthy for over two years again. She's
almost 14 now! I feel so tremendously fortunate, and I just
hope I can help someone else.
