Treatment

Your cat will need to be hospitalized in a warm environment until its health has stabilized and the disease is nonprogressive. Supportive care and wound management depend on clinical signs. If necrosis involving the tail tip or feet is severe, amputation may be required.

Removal of the spleen is of little assistance in patients with IgM-mediated hemolytic disorders, but may be helpful in those with therapy-resistant IgG-mediated hemolytic anemia.

Living and Management

Animals that have suffered from this condition are prone to relapse. Keep your cat in a warm environment at all times to prevent relapse. Prognosis is guarded to fair and recovery may take weeks.
