Hi Sally, Thank you for thinking of Ember and I. I'm so sorry to read that all your FeLV+ cats have gone. I remind myself that the time I've had with Ember has been wonderful, and that she may have more time. I want to have hope, but I'm feeling really down right now. I appreciate your

Thanks for the information, Christiane. I'm glad that Tuscon was helped by ImmunoRegulin. I remembered this morning that about five years ago, I got into contact with a vet who had a lot of success using it with cats. Don't remember much more than that, but I think my vet might have talked to

Lance, Two of my cats got this. Junior went from being anemic to borderline low and his fevers which had been as high as 106.5 went away. Now As I am reading more I wish I had kept him on it. Tiny wasa asymptomatic but he was positive. He actually passed 4 mos after testing positive. The felv
