Guidance needed
My cat was sleeping a lot today, so I suspected something was wrong. In the evening, he started vomiting and was breathing with sounds, which was quite a scary situation to witness. I took him to the vet, and the doctor said he is suffering from severe anemia, based on the color of his gums and ears.I'm very distressed and don't know what to do. I'm not financially stable right now. Is a blood transfusion the only option? Can my cat recover after that? I have so many questions on my mind. The vet gave him two injections, but my cat is still the same, though he can walk. I had to force him to drink milk and mixed his medicine in it.I need guidance.

We need to diagnose the root cause behind anemia so get a CBC LFT KFT test done to get an initial picture. There are other meds that can be given apart from transfusion but it depends upon the level of hemoglobin
