I have a 3.5-year-old lovely ginger cat. He almost lost his life to anemia back in November 2025 but he survived 2 blood transfusions (emergency dog blood and then cat blood) and has been on steroids until April. He relapsed in May and is back on an even stronger dose of steroids. The vet said he has IMHA (immune mediated hemolytic anemia) and will need to be on steroids for all his life. He absolutely hates going to vets' and needs to be sedated for blood tests each time. We give him gabapentin each time before a vet visit but he still needs to be sedated for the blood sample to be taken. From December last year to May, these tests started at about 2 weeks apart and then every 4 weeks. He also needs a day to recover from the drugs and usually can't rest until the early hours of the following day. Other than that, he has had a happy couple of months between January and May, eating normally, playing, looking at the birds in the window etc. We don't know what to do. We were given the options between putting him down and continuing with the steroid treatment, potentially subjecting him to less blood tests than normally advised and going by his external symptoms in reducing the dosage. On the one hand, I feel like we're just delaying the inevitable and potentially making him suffer from relapses and the continued effects of the constant sedation and stress. On the other hand, he is so young and has so much life to live. One horrible day out of every 30 or 60 days is really hard to call 'bad quality of life'. He has also been through so much in the past 6 months, giving up now when he's so much better just doesn't make sense. What would you do?
