cat pros ONLY please?

Sunshine is 16...she had a tooth pulled that was broken down and she wasn't right afterwards...3 days later she was diagnosed with auto immune anemia with a pcv of 20..high dose steroids saved her life..which is when we found out she also had a heart problem...(wasn't absorbing sub q fluids)..NOW...on pred pcv is up a bit but because of the steroids she has diabetic blood values...we tried cutting back on the steroids but then the red blood count drops again...the steroids are bad for the heart and the blood sugar..without them she can't keep her red count up...i feel like i'm going in circles...The cat is eating..drinking and grooming...she looks sooo much better then she did when she got sick and was hospitalized for 5 days....she is also on heart meds now.

Anyone ever had a cat that had auto immune anemia?

    I have not.But relax and let your trusted vet make the decision as to the medication Sunshine needs to take.Glad to read she is doing better and that she is grooming herself as well as eating and drinking.
