Kerry, did you ever try the Immuno-Regulin? Smoky on this list had really good luck with it getting rid of fevers, and when my Lucy could not throw a bad URI a couple months ago just two shots of it did it for her. And if he has a fever, he likely has a URI. That was Lucy's only symptom besides being lethargic and not eating. Her nose bubbled a few times, but not so that I even would have noticed if not for the fever and loss of appetite and limpness. I think I remember that you did not want to try I-R for some reason? I am not sure why, at this point. It has been so incredibly helpful in these situations for me and others. I don't think you have anything at all to lose in trying it.

Hi everyone, My Bandy has been very sick this week..First, we are still fighting the ringworm, but it is our least worry for now..He starting getting limp in one rear leg as he did back in the summer..So I took him in on Tues. and he received basically same treatment as in the summer...He got some dex, adequan, B vit inj, and torbutrol for pain..His temp was 103.5 which is the highest it has been since Aug..he did seem to respond as he came home, ate ok and drank...climbed up on his tower and would purr and talk to me..Then on Fri. or really late Thurs night, he wouldn't eat at all or move about much..So I took him back to the doctor Fri afternoon...His temp was still around 103 which could explain the bad appetite, but I didn't know what else to do and still don't... So the vet tech called the Doctor since she is off on Fri..we ran a complete blood chem and profile and thyroid...He hasn't had all that since June so we were due...It didn't help us much either...Surprising enough his PCV was 37.5 which is great...the WBC was low normal...some other blood values grans and monocytes were off which I don't know what all that means..his platlets were very low...Anyone know anything about that???? I'm really scared for him now...He doesn't seem to have URI or UTI and no mouth ulcers..no stomach trouble either..He did have a loose stool couple of times the other day. Probably from all the meds on Tues.. I can't get him to eat...I have tried everything...He will eat a few bites at a time and won't drink any broth either..I don't know what else to try...Please let me know what you all think. He also got 250cc subq fluids..today and 2 different antibiotic injections along with 5mg pred which we are going on for a week..and if he won't eat I am to up it to 10mg..also oxazepam for appetite stimulant... Please keep him in your prayers.. I hope all your kitties are doing well...we send head butts to all.. Kerry, Bandy and Inky __________________________________________________
