6 month old Kitten FIV+ with Anemia
I have a 6-month-old Kitten named Graycie, about 3 months ago I found
out, she was FIV+, and the vet at the time said I just needed to take a proactive approach with her. Well about a month or so ago she started to get sick, I took her to the vets, and they gave her Hi-Vita drops and Clavamox, this has happened twice. So last week I took her to get spayed and had per-op testing done and find out that her red blood cells are way low less then 10,000 - so she has anemia. The vet did mention a blood transfusion but said that it would only prolong her life for a few weeks at best. Well today, I am taking her to a new vet that suggested Interferon, but does not know how it will work with her since she has the anemia too. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? I do not want to do this and it just would make her worse off. Thanks, Karleen |
