I used the immuno regulin because my Smokey was getting high fevers and nothing else helped. The vet would be succesfull getting his temp. down only for it to go up again in a few days. Since I started using the immuno regulin he hasn't had any fevers. I started using it back in Feb. or March of this year. I had read about immuno regulin on this list and asked my vet about it. She didn't have a problem with giving it to him. I know it says to give IV but my vet has me give Smokey the injections subq. I don't know about all the research on it but I do know that for the problem Smokey was having it has helped.
