Does anyone know ANYTHING about Immune Mediated Erythroid Aplasia???? - non regenerative anemia young cat
My cat of 11 months was not much patience with non-regenerative anemia. His hematocrit had fallen to 5.9% (must be between 25 to 45%) and needed a blood transfusion to know to stay alive long enough to see what was going on. Then he took steroids (which now have begun to work in order to regenerate their blood) and had a biopsy of bone marrow and blood constantly. FeLV and FIV were open and we finally, the diagnosis of immune-mediated erythroid aplasia. I just found a little information about the Google search, a case study about six months old cat, and can not find any information! I understand that there are very few and very likely a genetic disorder, but also know about my veterinary practice, not much, except that they are treated for some time with STEROID, and it will deteriorate and die young, because the body itself to attack. Anyone who knows anything about this?

If you want to go to the "nth degree with this cat, we recommend the cat stabilized in the hospital, and is currently seeing if it will be treated at a university or a highly specialized practice. Veterinarians are responsible for the regular daily things wonderful, but if they need to rare diseases, you specialists.
It is possible that (it's no cure for this disease never heard of him), and extreme measures may only gain a limited time. Ask your veterinarian for a referral. You should know where to send your cat for treatment.
I'm sorry, that's all I know. I get some opinions from different vets. Whether it's really young to die because the body is subjected to attacks themselves, the best for your cat to the treatment or to set it in order to think quietly to sleep. I'm not insensitive, I have 3 cats are my children! I know that I love and want the best for them. Speak with several vets and see if if there is a chance of his life with his time in the comfort of being treated or if in the course of treatment to prolong her life, she will be in constant pain. I know you want the best for them. I'm sorry, go see them through this.
