Hi Linda,
Since you are looking for a vet in the Seattle area,
you might want to contact Dr Cathy Johnson-Delaney
at the Exotic pet & bird clinic in Kirkland, WA (www.
exopet.com, 425-827-6613).
Yes, ulcers can cause blood loss and anemia, but do not
give pred as part of an ulcer treatment! Pred can actually make
an ulcer worse!
Carafate should also be part of your ulcer treatment.
Not sure why your local vet would be against using Lupron and
melatonin, but I am glad you are now using them.
Good Luck with your little girl and say hi to Cathy for me,
Jerry Murray, DVM
