I am wondering if the UTI clears up or the meds are finished she might come around a bit and be a bit more ready to combat the anemia issue. How many more days will she be on the Zeniquin?
We use Zeniquin at work for UTI's an other nasty infections. Here's some info copied from the product insert.

DESCRIPTION: Marbofloxacin is a synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agent from the fluoroquinolone class of chemotherapeutic agents.

INDICATIONS: Zeniquin (marbofloxacin) tablets are indicated for the treatment of infections in dogs and cats associated with bacteria susceptible to marbofloxacin.

ADVERSE REACTIONS: The following clinical signs were reported during clinical field studies in cats receiving 1.25 mg/lb/day: diarrhea (2.1%) and soft stool (1.4%). Vomiting was reported in less than 1% of cases in cats.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: Compounds (e.g., sucralfate, antacids, and mineral supplements) containing divalent and trivalent cations (e.g., iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, and zinc) can interfere with the absorption of quinolones which may result in a decrease in product
bioavailability. Therefore, the concomitant oral administration of quinolones with foods, supplements, or other preparations containing these compounds should be avoided.
