Hello and Happy Easter everyone.
Thank you so much for the info about anemia. I printed it and took it
along down for the vet when we took Loki in for her transfusion.
We just got home with her a little bit ago and the transfusion went
well. She received 10cc of blood. She already seems a little bit
perkier and has eaten a few times.
Now the vet wants to get her started on the meds that were recommended
(Lupron Depot, Arimidex & Melatonin) in a post by Dr. Murray (Msg
#SG15827). We already have Melatonin, and he's going to be checking
around about Arimidex and hopefully will be able to call it in at our
pharmacy.
The Lupron is going to be the hard part because he does not keep it on
hand, so he was hoping that we might be able to find someone that does
have it to avoid needing to buy much more than we need and so that we
can get her treatment started ASAP. Does anyone have any suggestions?
We're located in central PA, but can do some traveling if we need to.
The sooner we can get her meds started, the better off she'll be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jen
