    HUGS to you and Puddy-tat!
    I was wondering if perhaps you could get Epogen at a more reasonable price thru a Canadian pharmacy, but all the ones I checked don't have it available, or it could be under another name in Canada. It might be worthwhile to mention it to your vet when you take Puddy back. Nothing ventured - nothing gained. In the meantime - it's good to read of her slow but steady progress. Keep it up Puddy girl!!!

    I spoke to my pharmacist and he told me that he really doesn't think that he can get it for any less than Dr. Lee can but he said to have Dr. Lee call him on Monday w/the exact dosage (even though I already told him the exact dosage) and he would do some research for me to see if he can get it for less.
    Blessings,

    Oh I'm so glad to hear she seems to be improving. Keep it up Puddy, your meowmie is not ready for your trip to the bridge yet.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Mary,this is wonderful news!!! I hope that Puddy continues to regain her strength and I'm looking forward to hearing about her "Hiss" soon. She remains in my thoughts and prayers.

    I am so very glad that Puddy is doing better, it just took a while for the Epogen to kick in

    It goes by the same name in Canada, but you would be more likely to get it from a specialty pharmacy (i.e. mail order) for a less expensive price than your local pharmacy.

    My local vet tried a compounding pharmacy for me and I still couldn't get it for any less but I'm going to keep trying. Dr. Lee may know of some that she doesn't.

    This cat has me stumped!

    I gave her the 3rd injection of Epogen today and I thought she might perk up even more but she's back to staying upstairs again, only now she wants to sleep on the sink countertop. I went upstairs and read in my meditation room for a while and tried to get her to come in w/me but she would just meow and run out of the room. I swear she's going daft! I was so elated yesterday and now I'm stumped!
    Blessings,
    Mary
