Nobody has really prescribed anything other than the pred.
I have thought about doing a transfusion. I have a male who is a little over 2 pounds and is pretty strong, however, I'd hate to put both of their lives at risk.
Also, so far, there is no underlying cause for Loci's low RBC count, (the adrenal test is not back yet) it may be something he has had since birth and has slowly been affecting him. Would a transfusion help, or would his body still struggle to regenerate RBCs?
I am going to try to administer the Pred with some chicken food today, I hope this works!
Thanks for your advice, and I will check into the other drugs that were mentioned.
