Mira has been in chronic renal failure for awhile now and last month her hematocrit was way down to 29. I have been giving her iron tablets for a month and while it is not great at 30, at least it has stopped dropping. She even seems to be more lively for a girl who will be 14 in February!
When you have renal failure, you get anemic. You measure anemia by the hematocrit (among other tests) and so I am glad it is not dropping anymore. The iron pills seem to be working for now anyway.
I'm so glad you got some good news while dealing with this! Mira is in my prayers, and Daisy and Lola send puppy-hugs!
