If anything is still good. I was in the bone marrow donor database for years but I never matched anyone. Fifty-five is the cutoff for donating bone marrow and I am 67 now. I originally got in the database because a Marine officer where I worked had leukemia and needed bone marrow. They came...

...can take 60 days since exposure for it to show positive. But even then with kittens their maternal antibodies can hide it. And felv can lay dormant in the bone marrow and show up years later. So you never know until you know I guess. It’s at your own risk and what you feel comfortable with.

...a 15 year old cat and his red blood cell count keeps going higher and higher the vet said he has probably got something wrong with his bone marrow or he has a growth somewhere They could do a biopsy but at sandy age it could be risky So we have decided palliative care he has to take a...

Hello, Thanks for your message. I'm glad your cat is showing an improvement. Unfortunately, Jack's stool is really bad now, almost liquid and very red. My vet says nothing will help except surgery. Sadly Jack is going to get weaker quite quickly. I'm still wondering if I should have the surgery...

...what seems like very little to go on. Did the ER vet have a copy of the bloodwork? Did they say why they were leaning toward the idea of bone marrow cancer? Talk over all the details with your vet about the blood work that was done, share with your vet whatever write-up the ER vet did (and...

I never buy a whole chicken, pieces work just fine! I personally prefer beef bone broth and use any marrow bones the butcher has, but I have two cats that don't handle beef well so I tend to make it in very small batches.

...strange: when my dad died, they wanted to harvest his skin. That was the only thing which was of any value.. but, my dad dearly wanted to be buried next to my mom, intact. I had to refuse. While he was alive, he did volunteer for a research study-- a bone marrow biopsy. He suffered through...

Tosie is hospitalized. Her hematocrit got worse. Down to 11.9 now. She is undergoing a bone marrow biopsy today to determine if her marrow is producing rbc or not. The vets are now thinking it’s probably autoimmune but can’t say for sure until these results are back. I really did think she was...

...not low. The very low RBC and HCT are typical of anemia. As others said, check for fleas. The Reticulocytes are quite high, your cat's bone marrow is producing red cells, so the anemia is regenerative, this is good news. Other than handfeeding her, as suggested, and giving her high calories...

...of the bones in their meal. Bone content is 6-7%. Has anybody experienced this with home made meals? I thought about extracting the bone marrow but then the bone also acts as an important source of minerals, but the only way to alleviate his symptom is to use less bones and maybe add broth to...

...I just try to get them to take a few licks of Delectable Lickables in the stew flavors, and pray to get them through 30 days when their bone marrow can make more cells, no matter how few. If the cat is still alive, the bone marrow is still functioning somewhat and the kidneys are still...

...I think it might be time to let him go. We tried." My regular vet agreed. Between the anemia and the cancer being so aggressive, in his bone marrow, and not eating/drinking enough, it was just too much for his little body. He's gotten so skinny and weak over the past few weeks. He was 12 and...

...were low also, but there was clumping on her blood samples. I asked the vet about leukemia, the cancer, and he said we could do a bone marrow biopsy, but he didn't suggest it at this time. Mostly because my cat was acting normal and a biopsy is very stressful. Since she was acting normal...

...at home every month, but they said they gave him the right drug today. They said the cancer is behaving aggressively and appears to be in bone marrow based on numbers, so I opted for the more aggressive approach. However, he won’t come out of his carrier. I’m leaving him be, but if this makes...

If she is drinking goat‘s milk might she try other liquids like bone marrow?

...so I am aware that the issue may come up in some other cat, including mine (which, incidentally, is also hemophiliac). So, my only successful case was solved with a very long course of prednisolone at rather high dosage to push her bone marrow to produce as many red blood cells as possible.

@andreiamlm @fibonacci_das Search Results for Query: bone marrow I am sorry that you did not receive a reply to this. If I am correct, the two members above did have bone marrow biopsies on their cats. More is included in the threads included above. It seems as if your vet does not want to...

...feral cat a three of years ago, she was sick, very sick, thin and weak. She was diagnosed with non-regenrative anemia. The vet also did a bone marrow sample to test it and they confirmed that the anemia couldn't be fixed. They proposed the euthanasia for the cat, because she was declining and...

Thanks for your encouragement as well as advice. I did check with the vet about kidney disease and the answer I received is in an update i just posted on Baby. I do trust my vet’s judgement on this. Kidney disease will probably be something we have to address in the future for Baby but not...

My baby Tosie survived her bone marrow procedure. The vets did say that they had a very difficult time getting her to wake up from the anesthesia but she is awake now at least. Her hematocrit is now lower than the 11.9 that had her admitted today. She has a fever again as well as both rapid...
