Re: Simon is having another good day-- Sue, steroids

The anemia was caused by the felv+, it was attacking her rbc.  Therefore, 
the steriods were used to decrease the number of circulating felv virus 
attacking her rbc.  Yes, her anemia went away.

That's interesting. Was the anemia caused directly by the FeLV virus or by
another diagnosis? Why were you trying to suppress her immune system-- was 
it
attacking her own red blood cells? And did the 6 months of steroids correct
the  anemia?
