When gray cat was first diagnosed his hct was at 9. He is currently on
a very high dose of Pred & a chemo drug called Chlorambucil. We are
getting ready to take him off the chemo drug & start cyclosporin &
once again try to slowly reduce his pred. We did interferon & LTCI
injections. He test negative now for FeLV. There is always a 3-4 week
lag time before you start to see the increase in the Hematocrit with
Pred. We have been going through this since Sept. 2008.

Hello all;
Casper is my symptomatic cat that became positive because I mixed my
positives and negatives. I wondered if somehow I had missed his
vaccinataion last year. I asked the vet to double check and as I
thought he was not even due for his next vaccination until April.
Anyway, he is now anemic and we are trying to deal with that. He
has been getting Prednosolone and Doxycycline for about a week and a
half without improvement. His count was 19 when he was tested two
weeks ago. I took him today for a PCV and don't have the results
yet. He also got an iron shot. I asked about Epogen. My vet calls
it Arithro proeatin (I know I botched the spelling of that.) He is
also looking into Interferon. Has anyone had experience with these
with an anemic positive cat?
Now that my decision to mix has make Casper become positive I want
to do whatever I can for him.
