[Felvtalk] Buzz anemia update

[Marylyn]

Try some liver.  I gave it to a wonderful dog who was anemic and it  
helped.  There are some vitamins (Pet Tinic comes to mind) that has  
iron in it too.

Just ideas but sometimes we have to try whatever gives us any hope.   
Dixie developed anemia very quickly.  It was regenerative but the  
suddenness and severity took her from me before we could get it  
reversed.  She had wonderful care from her regular vets and from her  
holistic vet.  If you have access to a holistic/alternative vet, you  
might contact her to see what she recommends.

Good luck to you both.  Remember, though, that the important thing is  
the love you give and the time you spend with your little friend.
