Re: [Felvtalk] PLEASE HELP ASAP - VERY SICK FELV CAT - REPOSTING WITH FULL BLOOD WORK
You are using feline interferon omega, yes? Not human interferon? The human version can be given orally for stomatitis but if injected it will eventually cause an allergic reaction. - Lorraine > On September 19, 2019 at 2:02 AM Wendy wrote: > > > Hello, Our FELV positive neutered male cat approximately 1 and ½ years > old has gotten very sick suddenly.

[Felvtalk] PLEASE HELP ASAP - VERY SICK FELV CAT - REPOSTING WITH FULL BLOOD WORK
Hello, Our FELV positive neutered male cat approximately 1 and ½ years old has gotten very sick suddenly. He is a house cat, and he was neutered in May of 2019. Would you please let us know what we can do to help our much-loved cat? A few days ago, he became lethargic and lost interest in eating. We had his blood drawn yesterday and he had iv fluids yesterday, and today we were told he needed a blood transfusion (or two) and more iv fluids, and then a bone marrow test tomorrow. We were told that the first blood transfusion today was not very effective because he got so many iv fluids at the same time, so now they are going to give him another transfusion. As background, we rescued him as a stray from Barbados in October 2018 when he was about 6 months old, and he has been healthy, active, happy and gaining weight, despite being FELV positive. Since October 2018, we cured him of giardia and bartonella henselae. On 12/31/2018, he tested positive for the ELISA and IFA, although his blood work was in normal ranges at that time. In 03/2019, we started giving him 1 t-cyte shot once per month, and we started giving him 1ml of interferon per days for 7 days on and then 7 days off, repeated. We have continued the interferon and t-cyte in this manner ever since 03/2019. Just yesterday, here are the results of his blood work: Tests ResultsRef.
