Hello, I have a 4 years old, neutered male cat. And we are dealing with IMHA for 1,5 years. I will give the details at the end of the post and my question is; what attached iron methabolism test tells us? (We have an appointment with the vet this week, so I want to study beforehand and ask...

Congrats for the new job you landed. I hope you will like it as the time passes by, despite being stressful bcs of emergency cases. Best of luck in this new challenge :)

Thank you so much :)

Thank you so much. And as I said, so happy for Saide that she has you :) By the way, there's a facebook group spesifically for the cats with IMHA. I hope everything goes well at your side and you won't need any additional advice etc... But in case you need, here I share the link. Immune...

His HCT was %8 in the day of splenectomy, but of course he got blood transfusion pre-op. So, he went into splenectomy with a HCT %14,5. But, yes, it is still a mircale. I'm very grateful. (As far as I'm told; there were not much bleeding during the operation, only a little. So they gave blood...

@fionasmom @silent meowlook Hello, I am sorry for Saide, but also glad that she has such a knowledgable and fighter mum like you. I believe she will live long happy years with you. Even though, she'll be on low dose of pred. With this regard, I'll also update about my Robin Panda. The...

Yes, you're right. This is a kind of testament. By the way, there is also mycophenolate mofetil. I know from the facebook group that some members' vet prescribed it. And it seems it works. I have also read scientific papers about this med to use for imha. But my vet against mycophenolate...

Ohh chlorambucile... We used that, too. Ift worked well in the beginning, so we tapered off the dosage. We alsontapered off the pred, too. Then my cat relapsed. We started with highest dosage again. But that time chlorambucile did not work at all. I guess, my cat somehow develops resistance to...

Sorry, in my previous message, i talked only about my cat's status and couldnt provide an appropriate replies to your questions. So, here they are: I think you're trying to figure out what causes IMHA, or is there any underlying disease... Apart from bone marrow biophsy, here are some elective...

Hello, I am sorry to hear about your cat Chibi. I hope he/she gets better soon. My experience with may cat's disease is not going well. We started cyclo+pred treatment on Sept.15th. In the beginning, first few weeks everything went well. We even have seen above %30 HCT. But unfortunately...

Dear Silent Meowlook, I wanted to write you directly. I am happy to share that Prednisolone+Cyclosporine treatment works well. We started this treatment at Sept.'9 and my cat's bw is a lot better. His physical status is also good (he is as playful and healty as before IMHA). We are still at...

Hello all, I am happy to share that Prednisolone+Cyclosporine treatment works well. We started this treatment at Sept.'9 and my cat's bw is a lot better. His physical status is also good (he is as playful and healty as before IMHA). We are still at the beginning/high dosage of...

Hello, No it's not late and thank you so much for your suggestions. Yes it was a booster shot. And I noted the test to be done before vaccinating. If my cat heals, I will definitely do that before going into vaccine thing. I researched about many veterinarians in Istanbul, and heard about...
