    Feline Polycythemia Vera

    Thanks. When he was diagnosed I read every entry in this forum. Someone had a cat on hyroxurea for 7 years at that point (2018). That made me feel optimistic for Eddie. He beat cancer after 5 1/2 years on chemo has been truly wonderful. Of course he has only one kidney and needs hydration...

    Feline Polycythemia Vera

    I don't know how active this thread is anymore, but back in early January when Eddie Soprano was diagnosed with Polycythemia vera after experiencing focal seizures on a Saturday morning, I found you all and read every single entry. I learned more from the input by members here than anything...
