KitKat -- The only thing I am really scared of is Anemia caused by the renal failure. That is what showed up in Stanley about two months before the end and is what I believe affected him the most at the end. We just could not control it, even with meds (Epogen). If he hadn't had such bad anemia, I belive he could have had a quality life for a good while longer with SUB-Q fluids.



She handed me a copy of Pookey's blood work and his RBC is normal and his WBC is 6.77 (towards the low end of normal). Is the WBC the indicator of Anemia, or some other reading?
