Dear Friends:
I'm wading thru a multitude of posts, and I know this is late in coming,
but wanted to add a note from my experience.
Bonnie, I know you've started the Epogen by now and all is well. I would
have suggested that yes, you wait until you could watch Fu before starting. They

Bonnie,
Did you get on the hyper-t yahoo group yet? They are very
knowledgeable with hyper-t, tapazole, and the effects of both on
the kidneys, anemia, etc. They might have some ideas for you.

Hi Bonnie, I also have a 19 yr old...His name is Inky...He has been healthy his entire life and only been to the vet a few times...Oddly enough, he had 2 hematomas on the same ear that he had to have surgery for over the yrs...Other than that, all has been well until this past year...I think he
Hi Bonnie,
I also got my epogen and made an appointment with my vet to discuss
it to make sure I knew exactly how to do it. I also waited and gave it
with enought time to run him to the vet if there was any kind of
reaction. Antibodies wouldn't form that quickly but there is a rare
I know. Every time someone on the list has lymphoma or anemia, I think I
need to get off the list because it depresses me so much. But I learn so much
from the group, and it helped so much to have people there for me when I went
through it with Simon, that I just can't.

HI, Belinda. Yes, fluids do thin the blood and worsen the effects of
anemia. They are still necessary sometimes, though, if they are not
drinking, though if he has no kidney or liver problems and you are syringing
food he probably can do without fluids for a few days, I would think.

Hi Michelle,

Dexamethasone. It does come in pills, but the shots work faster and
better in my opinion, though harder to keep them on long-term. The shots can be
given sub-q, so if your vet will give you the shot you can give it to Fu
yourself. It is possible she will only be willing to send you home
I picked up a vial of Epogen for Fu tonight. The vet explained how to
give it to him over the phone and the pharmacist was also very nice and
spent some time showing me how to go about it.
My question is...is it possible for there to be an immediate bad
reaction? If so, I'll wait until morning
I think, but am not positive, that it normally takes months for an adverse
reaction to occur. But I would be afraid that any medicine could have an
adverse reaction on Fu, given his age and condition. However, Epogen also
takes a while to show any good effects, and Fu is already doing so
Michelle,
I think it was brave of you to put your thoughts into words and send
them to Bonnie. It sometimes helps to have others comment on their own
reactions to death and dying. Our western society is so intent on
evading thoughts about death, let alone discussions about it. Thank
you very
