next vaccination until April. Anyway, he is now

When Kong was first diagnosed his count was at 7 and he had two blood
transfusions to get him back up to a healthy level. He has
nonregenerative anemia. He's been on a gradually decreasing dosage of

6 months. He gets his
sue, was casper ever double tested to make sure he was actually negative? a
single negative test means no more than a single positive test does: unless
we know for sure when the last possible date of exposure was, and do a final
test 90-120 days after that, we cannot know that any cat is truly nega

Amy,
This vet is either flat out lying or isn't using it correctly.
It is very rare but a cat can have a reaction and that reaction is that
it wouldn't help and the HCT would continue to go down, in some cases
