Hello, I just saw your message re problems with Polycithemia after vaccination. The same happened to our boy Rupert.  He had fits shortly after being vaccinated. He did get all the check ups and scans and he has no tumors or other cancers anywhere else.   There are some good news,  if it was...

Hi Kelly, I just saw your message, how is your cat doing now? I live in the UK as well and thought that our cat's treatment was quite expensive. We pay £30 for a blood test and £227 for a blood letting. Your vet is expensive, could you maybe phone around, maybe you will find a cheaper one...

Hi, not yet.  The vet thinks we should do the blood letting for another while.  It last about 4/5 weeks until he needs another one.  He seems to take it quite well, no tiredness afterwards. Rupert will have to take the chemo tablets sooner or later. The vet seems to think that chemo tablets...

Thanks Sherry.My only worry is that Rupert only eats dry food and sometimes licks the fat of Polish sausage, maybe I will have to roll the chemo tablet in thefat and then put it amongst his food.You have given me lots of hope, they are too young to die at that age they are.I will keep you...

thank your for your post, Sherryla. I am pleased that your Murphy is doing so well and that over years now.  It seems that mainly male cats around 6/7 years old seem to get the illness. I really have got lots of confidence in the chemo tablets now and hope our Rupert can be with us for many...

Hello Kelly, how is your cat doing now? Our Rupert needs blood letting every 4/5 weeks, this costs us £225, also weekly blood tests which are £30. We love our cat as well, so we will pay for the treatment. Our vet thinks we can wait with the chemo tablets for another while. He feels a bit...

Hello to all people who have cats with 'Polycythemia Vera', have your cats been vaccinated before they got ill with 'Polycythemia Vera'? I just wondered, as our cat Rupert has been diagnosed with this blood cancer 6 weeks after he has been vaccinated. Have asked the vet, he said he never came...

Hallo Sherryla, our little boy Rupert has been diagnosed with this disease on 26.7.14.  They took 60 ml of his blood and he went from 70 to 60, then 65, 58 for 4 weeks and unfortunately it went up to 63%.   He feels really well, jumps up on high furniture again and I could not believe that his...

Hello lunarleslie, how is your cat doing on the chemo tablets?   My vet wants to wait and do blood lettings, whenever needed, first. How is the blood count of your kittie now? Ours is 58%. Thank your for your reply, Adelheid

Hello Kshaw, how is your cat doing now? Ours has been diagnosed (male 6 years 2 months old) one month ago.  The animal hospital told us that it comes from the bone marrow, he has no other cancers in his organs. He seems to be doing fairly well, he is not as lively as he was beforehand but the...

Hello Sanglulus, I just wanted to know how your kittie is doing and if she still needs as many blood lettings as beforehand. My little boy Rupert who is just 6 years 2 months old has been diagnosed with Polycythemia Vera 4 weeks ago. His blood count is down to 58 (from 70) and his last blood...
