Dr. Lee is on vacation this week. Had I known, I would've waited to take Puddy in when he came back. Anyhow, another vet did her blood work and when I told her all that has transpired since starting Puddy on the Epogen injections, she said that Epogen asks a lot of a cat's kidneys and Puddy only has one kidney and that one isn't very good. She said that the Epogen probably just takes too much out of her. The blood tests will tell us more tomorrow as to whether it's a good idea to continue the injections or not. If Puddy at least maintains, then we'll continue but the point of all this is to get her to produce more red blood cells. If she's dropped, then that means the Epogen isn't working and there's no point in continuing it. She gave me enough for two more injections and, if the blood work is satisfactory, I'll get more next week. Puddy peed on the exam table again and I purposely waited to give her the subQ because I thought that may have contributed to it. Poor little girl. This vet did tell me that when a cat becomes a hermit that it isn't a good sign, which I already knew. I have that sinking feeling in my stomach and the lump in my throat again. I fear I'm losing my Puddy.
