We bought our Buzz a few more months when he was anemic by giving him
Doxycycline and Prednesolone. It all depends on if you are talking about
anemia and why she is anemic. Whatever you do it needs to be fast. Anemia
doesn't give you much time.

You didn't say exactly what was bad in the blood work but I'm going to
guess
she was very anemic. If that is the case, you need more than assisted
feeding. Depending on what the numbers are, she might need an immediate
transfusion just to give you a little time to try some things and there is
no guarantee. It is really hard to win against a fast moving anemia.

My Macy is only 10 1/2 mos. and I took her to the vet yesterday because
she
had become lethargic and wasn't playing. My son is one of the vet techs so
they know us and have been with Macy since we got her at 10 wks old. She
was
a feral cat in the neighborhood. We even tried catnip on her favorite toy,
Mr. Lion. After an exam, urinalysis and blood work, the vet came in and
just
stood there, too upset to talk. Macy's blood count is so bad they don't
know
how she's even walking, although she still jumps up on furniture but not
with much energy. They said she only has a few days.
I've read about assisted feeding but don't recall anyone saying what
they're
feeding the cat. She is still eating a very small amount but if more is
going to help her, we're willing to try anything. I'd appreciate any
advice
or suggestions.
Dawn
