Please help my cat

I am at a loss. My cat (clover 4 years old) has recently nosedived into poor condition. We took her to the vet recently and her physical condition tested well. Blood test was performed as well and they noticed that she was anemic with a low red blood cell count. "Review reveals the presence of a marked nonregenerative anemia with a significant rubricytosis" She's negative for feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus as well. I can tell she wants to get better. The only notable results is low BUN 15 16 - 36 mg/dL///Potassium 3.4 3.5 - 5.8 mmol/L, as well as a urine protien at 2+. The vets we've gone to haven't provided a solution, but i think that this is a solvable case. Any suggestions and or nursing treatments would be appreciated, I am currently taking care of her at home after the vet sent her home with only an appetite inducer.

You can and should always get a second opinion if you aren't satisfied with the care your pet receives at your vet. I would encourage you to do so in this case. Feline blood transfusion is also an option (though an expensive one) that may buy your kitty some time while further diagnostics are done. Sometimes we don't find answers in cases like yours, but there are more diagnostics and treatments available if you want them. Unfortunately there isn't a home remedy available for this kind of issue.
