Dr. Magnifico- I have a 14 year old CKD/CHF/Anemic cat that is having some heavy breathing and very weak! She is on Varenzin however, I believe she needs an Iron Dextran shot. She was on Aranesp previously (had to remove her due to her having seizures from the medication) however, it was tanking her iron, so she had an iron dextran shot and it helped a lot. I’m having troubles finding someone that can do this fast. Is this something you offer and how quickly could she receive it? I believe she is tanking but VEG just quoted me $4-6k to bring her in!!!! I’m already at $30k and just don’t know I can do that right now. Also, if she is at the point of needing a blood transfusion, where can I get that done and NOT spend $4-6k???
