RE: Petechia/Hemotomas and bloodwork results

[Frullani, Anita]

Thank you so much. I faxed my vet -- she isn't in today but she  will look over the info and call me at home tomorrow. She has, in the past, been willing to read and try new medicines with other cats I have brought her. I did buy some Transfer Factor too as someone suggested that helps boost the immune system. This kitten is so lively, it is hard to believe there is anything wrong. Also, I never give any of the cats anything with onions in it.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 7:56 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: Petechia/Hemotomas and bloodwork results   She is slightly anemic, which is something that you want to address right away before it gets worse. Anemia is one of the things that can kill an FeLV+ cat if it gets bad.  It is important to try to figure out the cause of anemia.  There is a bacterial cause, called hemobartonella, ,that is treatable with doxicycline.  If it is not that and is not cancer, some people have been able to turn it around with steroids and spogen, and with acemannan.  Immuno-regulin is also reported to help sometimes, but I am not sure anyone on this list has tried it for anemia.   If your vet can not figure out the cause, I recommend taking her to an internist.  They are usually at bigger hospitals, vet school hospitals, and veterinary referral centers.   Michelle   In a message dated 11/2/2006 3:57:21 P.M.

I bought some Prozyme and some L-Lysine via Drugstore.com (the vet didn't want me to give her it but am not sure why). Also purchased Dr. Belfield's Mega Vitamin C. I got her bloodwork results:
