information that may be of interest to you all, open to all comments and help. one of the other members asked me to give her a break down, and I though it may be of interest to the rest of you all, as you have all been so helpfull . thank you   Tabbs Spanish Siamese tabby point FELV positive and Sandra   Took him in when he was a full male adult, age between 6 and 10.  Vacc and neutered, sharing home with 5 other cats 4 who have been taken in by me, lost 2 last year due to FELV, not tame enough to treat. Also took a kitten in who tested FELV, when 6 months old, but last test Nov 2005 all 3 other cats testing Neg.     Blood tests to date,    Jan `13  2006  HCT 17.5 old vets Jan   20  2006  HCT  17.2 new vets     urea 40 Jan 28    2006  HCT   20.9 Feb        2006  HCT   10.00 Feb 25   2006  HCT   11.2 March 9 2006  HCT   14.3 Kidneys OK but liver which has been fine is not so good.   if you wish me to e mail you a copy of the complete blood test I am happy to do so. as I am not that good at reading them, also they are in Spanish some times.        .     30 Jan 2006 analysis Tabbs has no parasite (haemobartonella) in the blood. vet recommends to repeat the PROTEC.to make the immune system stronger, one week after first injection. done   (from my Vet Victoria ) Hello Sandra: I am so happy to tell you that Tabbs hct is 14.3 %!!!      9.3.2006 Last time  was 11 % and a non regenerative anaemia. Now is a little regenerative. So, now I suggest to follow in this way: -Vitamins and rest of the medication: the same as before,    started 27.02-Dacortin 5mg: injection then1 tablet /that evening followed by  ,  2 tablets per day for 3 days then 1 tablet mornings for 5 days. then one every other day, until further notice. (could be 10 days when my vet will do another blood test.   -Interferon omega: ( started Virbagen Omega 4th March 1/2 bottle every other day. Tabbs HCT reading was 10% at this point. then 1/4 bottle every day(02.5 UI) ( 5 bottles) 10mu 500 euros He had been 17.5% dropping to 17.2, then after the iron and vitamins plus restarting the stomorgy Tabbs went up to 21% (great) at this point I did not feel the need for the Interferon omega, But on retesting again he had drop to 10 HCT so that is when we started the Interferon. -Vitamins and rest of the medication: the same as before, this was 1/2 tablet per day of fortekor 5 1/2 tablet stomorgyl per day 10kgs Tabb has been on stomorgyl for about 6 weeks. may be longer. Vitamins drops and iron drops each day for the last 6 weeks( mixed in warm milk) L-lysine just start, about 5 days now 500mg morning and evening( mixed in food)   Here is Tabbs History to date, Xmas 2005 pneumonia , hiding in the airing cupboard for about 5 days, then moved to spending all day in the bathroom sink. treated the pneumonia with antibiotics , I can not remember what type, and also reason that his FELV test in Nov 2005 was problemly the reason why he had picked up the pneumonia. at that time my old vet was only treating him with stomorgly for his bad mouth and teeth, alongside giving him vitamin B injections. after finding the groups web site, I printed out a lot of the information  that I had collected, and took it down to him, But in fairness to him , my lack of Spanish and his lack of English proved to be a lack of interest in the information I had collected followed by comments of having tried the following with out success, but  he was uninterested . At that time the paper I shown him was headed ImmunoRegulin    ------- More reading, and discontent, I change vets and found one that was recomended, and who is open to suggestions, and also had treated 3 of her own clients cats with the feline interferon. So to date, Tabbs was started on the omega when his blood count was reading 10%, where my new Vet remarked that he should have died, and that she was unsure to weather we would have any success to treating Tabbs at this late stage.Sadly we could have started his treatment of the interferon earlyer, but due to his  readings on the 28 Jan, we thought the treatment was working.   Two other points that are the beginning of Tabbs History, are that first he has had bad teeth for the last 2 years, and having waited for his kidney readings to come down enough for us to give his teeth a clean and remove the bad teeth, we wasted 18 months before being able to do this. But since he has been on the  stomorgyl for over 2 months now, it appears that there is no problem with his Kidneys. my old vet tested him his self, and my new vet sends away to a very good place that is 99% correct.   Tabbs has had a X ray at his old vets, and I was told that there did not seem to be any tumours showing, But he has got 2 small lumps in his mouth which are being to get too big, and they are giving him a great deal of trouble, so much so that he as stop eating, and on the 26 of Feb I was thinking of calling the vet out to put him to sleep due to him being on a real down.But he pick up the next day, and is still fighting. Today the 13th Feb his mouth is playing up a lot, We are waiting for another blood test to see if we can do his teeth for him and hopefully remove the lumps or tumours,My vet had to return to Holland due to family problems and will not return to Spain until the 22 March, I only hope he can wait that long, and also that his readings are good enough to operate.     hope this has been of some help to you, any comments more than wecom [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
