It sounds like Hun is very sick. I am concerned that the seizure means his disease is progressing. Did the vet say what was causing the anemia? The supplements they gave you can support the body, but may not be treating the cause of the illness, such as tick-borne disease, parasitism, or auto-immune disease.
