Mati 18
Went in to vet for lethargy and some weight loss - she weighs 3.6 kilos.
Diagnosis - Anermia due to one kidney not producing RBC.
Am putting the blood test results here again - vet 1 wants a watch and wait with iron supplements and subq, with another blood test to determine whether she'll be needing Erythropoietin and/or infusion. He'll also have to SEDATE her with gas like he did yesterday to get the blood. Or not - maybe she just reacted to the shaving machine. Vet 2 who is also helping by phone says to start her on Doxy because he thinks the anemia is being caused by either FELV/FIV or mycoplasma. Vet 1 says there are NO indications whatsover from the labs or physical that this is what she's dealing with. Argh. Any insights?
