Yes, perhaps it is that he died in your arms and was so young which makes it so much more painful.  I know it was very hard for you, but I am glad that he was in your loving arms when he passed.  What a gift to him that his last moments he knew your love and warmth.   (((Kris)))   Gina Kris Ku

I would try Acemannan shots. At least one person, and I think actually two, on this list, have had acemannan shots completely turn around serious anemia in positive cats.  If it is an immune weakness thing and not cancer (or maybe even if it is cancer?) it sounds like something that has a goo

Hi Kris, I'm so sorry about Luna feeling so poorly right now. There is hope that you can help him feel better and recover from his anemia. A blood transfusion will help "buy him time", but you need to know what is causing the anemia in order to treat it. From what I understand it is not as

You may want to go ahead with the transfusion to buy time, the epogen can take up to three weeks to work. With Bailey my vet feels it was mainly the prednisolone that helped with his anemia but we can't say for sure since he was on both. Bailey started epogen when his HCT was at 18%, it we
