Has anyone here who has a cat with CRF used Procrit? (It's used to treat anemia.) How long did you have to use it? Did you decrease the dosage over time?
We seem to be having good results with our cat who we started on 25 cc's of Procrit about a week ago. We go for blood tests today, but I can tell from the way he's acting that it's having an effect. His numbers are really high for the CRF and his red blood cell count was at 17 before we started. Since he has probably had a lot of kidney damage from the disease, I just wonder if he will have to be on the Procrit for the rest of his life.
