[Felvtalk] Buzzy is Anemic

[catatonya]

I was afraid it sounded like anemia.  Did she test him for hemobart?  Did she say it was truly nonregenerative??

  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
