Hi X,
 
Yes, a small percent of females with chronic adrenal gland disease will
develop anemia, secondary to the high estrogen level.  Just like intact
females that stay in heat for too long.  Most of these girls will also
have an enlarged vulva.  Unfortunately epogen does not seem to help with
this kind of anemia.  Aggressive treatment with surgery or high doses of
Lupron (maybe with melatonin) are needed to treat this.  Just another
reason to treat adrenal gland disease as soon as possible.
