Looking for EPO

[Karen and Flo]

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but....I'm looking for EPO for Flo. I've gone through the two expired vials that had been donated to my vet, and can't afford the $300 or whatever that it costs to buy more. Any suggestions for more affordable options would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Oh, and she turns 20 this month!! Yay Flo!

p.s. would it be appropriate to cross post this on the health board?

Hi Karen. I don't want to guess what EPO might be. I'm sure that those who use it will know, but could you please explain what it is and what it is used for. I will move this to health with a shadow topic here on Supply Closet.

EPO is Erythropoietin. It is used to stimulate production of red blood cells. It is typically used in crf cats. See:

Thanks, Larry, for the info. I suppose I should've explained what it is! Think professional cyclists and blood doping. ;-)
