There are 3 different kinds of Polycythemia, do you know which kind he has??

My late Molly who had a whole slew of medical conditions towards the end of life was Dx'd with this as well. We had to remove some of the blood at times and keep checking her blood levels. We only had to do this 3 times and then it seemed to be normal out. Not sure if the kidney issues were what was causing it or not.
Molly had Cushings, Early Renal Disease, Chronic Pancreatitis, IBD and in the End Cancer took her.
