    The test results that I get back on Tuesday will be the next step to identifying what is causing Nakita to be anemic. From the first two blood tests, we know we're dealing with non-regenerative anemia (meaning the bone marrow is NOT producing red blood cells) that is currently mild (her value of 21% is termed 'mild').

    There are two kinds of anemia - regenerative and non-regenerative. Nakita has non-regenerative anemia, the worst of the two. Therefore we're looking at underlying cancer, kidney, auto-immune issues. Considering that Nakita was dealing with possible IBS/food allergies earlier on, I'm assuming right now we're looking at something auto-immune related. Now with the fever, I'm not sure what is happening (maybe infection, maybe something else).

    You can read more about it here----> Anemia

    With all the research I have done the last few years regarding Nakita's hyperesthesia, IBS, allergies and now the anemia....I should be an honorary vet tech by now.

    I hope it is auto-immune...that means monitoring medication, but not as bad as the other two...even kidney stuff can be handled and give years of healthy life to Nakita!


    HUGS and PRAYERS to brave Meowmie and beautiful Nakita!

    Oh gosh, I have major LES reading this latest update. Please, please let the vet get to the bottom of her problems and have a medication that will allow your beautiful Nakita many, many, MANY more years with us.

    Come on sweetheart, hang in there, you HAVE to get better.

    Major prayers and positives thoughts on the way.

    {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} for the worried meowmie and daddy.

    Geez, it's like this poor girl just can't get a break! I hope that they can figure something out and let her recuperate so that she will feel well again. It's so hard when you feel like your hands are tied, and then waiting over a holiday is excruciating! I'll be keeping you and Nakita in my thoughts and prayers.
