My Little Luna didn't make it. He died because I guess of all the stress. His levels had dropped even lower than Friday. He's at peace now. It was too much for him. God I feel awful.

You may want to go ahead with the transfusion to buy time, the
epogen can take up to three weeks to work. With Bailey my vet feels it
was mainly the prednisolone that helped with his anemia but we can't say
for sure since he was on both. Bailey started epogen when his HCT was
at 18%, it went down before it went up. He got as low as 15%, but
within 5 or 6 weeks with the epogen and pred his HCT was back up to 40%,
even after he passed it was still at 33%, which is very normal. He
started epogen at 3 times a week and after his anemia was corrected we
went to 1 time a week and very gradually lowered his pred from 20mgs to
5mgs a day over a period of weeks, pred has to be tapered very slowly,
their bodies stop producing it when they get it supplemented in high doses.
