My vet did explain everything to me.
Coco get s BP and a PCV test every Thurs.
Her BP was 170 today and her PCV is 17% so it went down.
Last week it was 20%.
I guess the Epogen does not work for her.
We think the clotting problem she had was from the new BP med since the rash is gone now.
She has never had a problem with the Norvasc.

Thanks Amelia
Going down is bad.
It needs to go up and we have another problem.
She has a thick green discharge from her nose and does not want to eat.

She probably can't smell her food because of the discharge. I'm guessing BP of 170 in a cat is high? Darn it, why are things not working lately? Maybe as one poster indicated, it takes a few times with the Epogen before it starts making the PCV rise. I'm hoping that's the case .

Are you force feeding her right now?

p.s. I'm just waiting for a transfer into my Paypal to make a donation for Coco.

Thanks,
The vet put her back on clinda drops.
Her poor nose is a mess.
She did eat some food today but it was not kidney food.
I tried to force feed her until 2 am last night.
I am hoping it will help.
Thanks for wanting to donate.
Have you read my blog?

Yes, was reading Bear's Blog, and it referenced Coco's, that's how I found out you were needing donations! So...checked my Paypal account and saw that I needed to make a transfer into it (have been making kitty donations lately and ran low
)

Hope the clinda drops are helping Coco's nose clear up.
. Poor old girl...she's certainly been through the wringer!

Thanks They are going to try to have a auction to raise money for Coco.
The donations paid for her blood and bp test last week.
You know Snickerdoodle sent me Boos food.
She did not have to do that.
