Hi all!
Our 5 year old boy Luke, just underwent a bone marrow aspiration and was diagnosed with Lymphoid Leukemia. We've already gone through a blood transfusion about 2 weeks ago where his hematocrit was maintained at 16%. Now its lowered to 10%. He is slowly loosing his appetite and is very reserved now. Sometimes he has bouts of energy and then lays down and he is obviously tired since hes so anemic. Hes currently on Prednisolone and Doxy which our vet put him on while she was doing all these tests on him.
Our vet recommended an Oncologist in the area and we've already made an appointment for Thursday. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or gone through this with their cat? Especially one so young?
I've become such a helicopter mom checking on him every 5 minutes to make sure he's okay, even waking up several times at night to check his breathing.
Thank you all in advance!
