[Felvtalk] Buzzy is Anemic

[Rosenfeldt, Diane]

I'm so sorry, Sue.  I know cats have come back from bouts of anemia but
you do have to weigh the options.  Hope he feels better in the meantime
with the shot.

Subject: [Felvtalk] Buzzy is Anemic

Buzz has a red blood count of 8, the vet says it should be 30.  She gave
him a steriod shot.  She says we could choose to give him a transfusion
but that would only be a temporary fix and very expensive.  He also has
a bad heart murmer.  Right now I am just trying to by time to look into
optiions.  I am very much against making a cat go through a lot of
painful procedures just to buy a month or two.  They just don't
understand why you are doing it to them.  Why can't cats take iron pills
like anemic humans do?  So many questions...
Thanks,
Sue
