[Felvtalk] Buzz anemia update

[Sharyl]

Sue, some fresh air on the deck sounds like good medicine to me.  Glad it is regenerative and you got the doxy.  Usually when a kitty isn't feeling well several small meals per day are better.  You might try crushing up a folic acid tablet and adding it to his food with the vitamins.  My FeLV+ kitties get 200 mcg of folic acid/day just as a precaution plus their Super B Complex..

    Hello everyone -
    Today I got doxycycline from the vet.  It came in 50mg capsules which I have
    to open up and divide in two.  I mix half with water and give it to Buzzy in a
    syringe.  Half a capsule every 12 hours.  Tomorrow he goes for some kind of
    protein test and possibly set him up with a specialist for a transfusion.
    When I questioned the vet she said his anemia is not the non-regenerative
    kind.  Doesn't that mean there is more hope?  He is still eating fairly
    well.  I have cooked him chicken, and I am mixing some vitamins in with
    tuna.  I feed him a little bit as often as I can; he seems to eat more that
    way.  In a little while I will take him out on the deck to sit in my lap for
    a while.  He loves smelling the fresh air.  
    I hope this message goes through to the list, this is my fourth try. 
    Thanks for all the help, more suggestions are still appreciated.
    Sue
