Re: [Felvtalk] LTCI injections ??
I used LTCI when my 11 yo was first diagnosed. I believe it helped bring him back from a very low point (anemia, anorexia, etc). He stayed on it for about a year, then once he was stable I felt it wasn't worth the continued cost, so we stopped.

Re: [Felvtalk] LTCI Injections
Hi, The LTCI injection that Aggie gets are given in her hind leg area. Not up on the medical lingo--but it looks just like a regular vaccination type shot. It is not given intravenously, or under the skin like fluids. Hope this helps.

Re: [Felvtalk] LTCI Injections
Perhaps there are different protocols for different situations, but when we were giving our little ones LTCI, we were directed by our vet (who had spoken with the lab techs with LTCI) to give it sub-q.

Sounds like it's intravenous, aka in the vein, so I would not be permitted/able to do that. Things like the pepcid or sub q fluids are in the skin, so the pet parents are allowed to do these, if they are willing. Guess that crosses Whimsy off the list since taking him to the vet gives him flashbacks! thanks, again, Andy! Aggie is lucky to have you.

Re: [Felvtalk] LTCI injections
Hi Shannon, It isn't intravenous at all. When I said it wasn't under the skin like like fluids, I just meant that it wasn't done between shoulder blades. It is usually given in her hind flank. Here is the info from the product insert: Lymphocyte T-Cell Immunomodulator is administered by subcutaneous injection of 1 ml upon diagnosis of the presence of FIV or FeLV disease. I know a great many people who give the shot themselves--and it isn't into the veins. Sorry I was so darn confusing! Hopefully the second time is the charm!

Re: [Felvtalk] LTCI injections
oh wow! thanks, Andy, sorry I misunderstood! this sure could be something I could do then for Whimsy. Also, for my FIV boy perhaps. thanks for helping me understand!
