I do know of one cat that has had many transfusions, more than 5, I
think it was one of Hideyo's cats, I seem to remember her posting it on
the anemia list I'm on. I believe it was because the epogen quit
working or her vet thought the cat had developed aiitbodies. I will
write her and
have a cat who's Felv and anemia is maybe the least
of his problems...like it was in Monkee's case.

Caroline,
I remember Monkee and all the heartache you guys went through.
I would be doing all positives a disservice though if I didn't make a
point about what my vet told me and I have personally seen happen with
some cats on the lists I'm on.

Not sure your vet knew this but the most reliable way to get all the
cancer when it is on a limb is amputation of that limb and then possibly
chemo. Animals do very well with missing limbs.

Hi Angela,
Did you get the answers you needed? Speaking specifically about anemic cats
who are FeLV+, blood transfusions are probably given every 10 days, and
probably not more than 3 times. This is only knowledge I have gleaned from
what I've seen here in the past two years and might not be
Baileys anemia was Non regenerative and epogen and trednisolone
brought it back to normal.
For example, Epogen has been discussed on this list for FeLV+ cats
with regenerative anemia. Someone will hopefully come along to give
much better (and more specific) info than I have.

Angela,
I have not had experience with transfusions and cats. From what I've
read, transfusions are usually given to FeLV+ cats when they are
severely anemic. The transfusion may be successful, in that the kitty
will feel much better for awhile. Unfortunately, this doesn't clear
up the
