Gary is not doing very well. She is hanging out alone
(normally she follows from room to room) and still
only eating a few bites. She goes to the vet for her
PCV and temp check tomorrow afternoon.
My b/f called the vet who said she didn't check her
for anemia when she was in recently for a fever and
the last time she had blood drawn (a couple months
ago) her hematocrit was at 31, which was normal enough
that they didn't mention anything. I am a little
upset she didn't suggest we get another test when Gary
was just in.
I'm pretty sure Gary has anemia. What kinds of
treatment have your cats had for anemia (beyond the
initial blood transfusion)? Is there anything that
they give a cat for chronic anemia or do you just have
to transfuse regularly? Apparently we have to be the
ones in charge of knowing what to do and what to ask
for from the vet so I'd like to be prepared for
tomorrow.
Thanks,
Jill
