Is it possible he has a severe kidney infection and that is what is causing the high kidney values and the anemia (since kidney problems can cause anemia)?

Also, gave doxycycline as antibiotics - I am thinking using SAMe as I heard that it's good for anemia - please share any of your insighg - what do you think it's causing this severe ARF - could it be FIP? I am trying to find other cause - Also, please pray for my Rikki that he will feel better - thank you.
