Default `~Need advice regarding kidney disease and non-regenerativeanemia for feline

How old is she?

A marrow biopsy *may* (not will) determine a specific cause, which in turn *may* be treatable. However, that would be after all the standard tests - blood smear, detailed urinalysis, white blood count and so forth. But, the diagnosis of non-regenerative anemia suggests that a bone-marrow test may not be useful.

Has she been treated with erythropoietin injections? Was she in any way responsive?

Kidney disease? General Infection, Specific Nephritis, cancer?

Note that kidney disease is often associated with hypertension - and in some cases, renin inhibitors are prescribed (in humans) to address both conditions.

Best of luck to her and you.
