Re: hello and new to the group

I would keep giving the doxy, it isn't going to hurt her and vets have been wrong about hemo before. I know a girl who is in Florida were hemo is pretty common and she has had her cats test negative 5 times before it finally showed on the test. Thankfully she was giving her cat doxy because

Re: hello and new to the group

It sounds like her anemia is nonregenerative. Which to me means one of two things-- that it is lymphoma in her bone marrow, or that it is kidney-related and epogen might help.   My Simon had lymphoma in his bone marrow, and chemotherapy along with some heavy steroids when he first went out o

Neil,     Kerry's cat Bandy went from a fairly low HCT back up to 32 from being on a combination of meds and supplements. If no one has forwarded you one of the emails describing Bandy's regimen I can forward it to you, since I saved it.      It kind of depends on the cause of the anemia.  I

Kerry, is Bandy FeLV+ too?   Patches, who is FeLV+, tested FIV+ at her last vet visit as well.  Hideyo said it could be a false positive.    Michelle     In a message dated 1/18/2006 9:52:43 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi Nina, I have read some post about Starm

Yes, that definitely describes Charlie.  But he is also very meek-- he's this HUGE cat and one time a little twerpy pipsqueak kitten who was about 3 months old and very small ran over and hit him on the head and he actually cowered.  He is the biggest pacifist I know. The woman who adopted h

Hi Neil, It does sound like you've been able to secure the best medical care possible for Anastasia. Could you please tell us what specialty hospital you have found for her? It might help someone else. Poor little girl has been through so much, I'm glad she's feeling well enough to at least

Thanks Sandra, Bites and scratches come with the territory. I'm usually pretty smug about the fact that I'm good at reading them well enough to avoid dog and cat bites, (I'm a dog trainer and work with some "problem" dog children too). I just wasn't paying enough attention. Star has his app

Re: Bad news about Starman - OT (long)

don't worry about the bite, I have had a few of them in the last 4 years with the boys that where intact, they seem a little more unpredictable, but after beening neutered do settle down, and I have never been bitten since they have had the chop. good luck and I am so happy that he is in good ha

Re: hello and new to the group

Hi Neil, You need to find out if her anemia is the regenerative type (or the non-regenerative type). The Doxy and Pred may help if she has a blood parasite called Hemobartonella (which doesn't always show up on a blood smear). Ask your vet if she is a candidate for epogen (procrit) which can hel

Hi Neil, Welcome to the FeLV group. I am sorry to hear that your kitty is having such a hard time. This group is probably the BEST place for you to have landed because there are so many knowledgeable people here. As far as anemia goes, I am no expert, and lost my kitty to it two months ago.
