Little Red.......................................................................................
I think little Red is dying. He is the 2 year old male
cat that keeps Lakshmi, company in the office with
me.
The blood test results are weird according to his
oncologist, who thinks it is iron deficiency anemia, not
cancer, yet iron supplements have not helped.
Red responded for a time when we gave him
Progen by injection, which builds red cells to counter
his anemia, but this only treats the symptoms not the
underlying disease.
So, he appears to be decompensating despite
treatment. The only recourse is to take him to yet
another specialist, for a go around on other tests and
maybe hospitalization.
