Polycythemia Vera for felines is basically the same as when a human would get it. A cat produces to much red blood cells causing blood clots that effect the brain and heart causes their body to shut down. A cat that has Polycythemia Vera will have its life shorten and might only live 10 years. Cats that have this will need to be bleed every month, what I mean by that is that they need to take lots of blood from their body and then inject liquid into their body to produce more. That’s taking out lots of red blood cells so that they can survive. Keep in mind that this is a really rare blood cancer. I’m just writing what I know because my cat has Polycythemia Vera.. (I forgot to mention that chemotherapy is a treatment, not sure if it full treatments or if it has a big chance of killing your cat.. The treatment is around 250 not exactly sure. Also don’t take this information, I’m not a doctor and I don’t want to accidentally kill your cat, so please talk to a high experienced vet.) Urban Dictionary
