Paolo, Carrington Labs isn't going to be much help. Manufacture of Acemannan had to shut down during the audit and it isn't going to be available again for a couple of weeks when the next batch gets out of manufacturing. (long story about the audit) It is only available from Veterinary Products Labs (a subsidiary of Carrington)...and only then through distributors (which are listed on their website). Here is the info from VPL: http://www.vpl.com/product.php?catmain=&mainkey=&pid=80&key=8&cat=Wound%20Management
The website does have contact information and their customer service is helpful. They may be able to help coordinate something with you to expidite shipping when it does become available. Carrisyn is, I think, different from the injectable wound dressing, Acemannan (I could be mistaken - it is just that I am not as familiar with that term). Acemannan used in studies to treat FeVL+ that I am familiar with - was administered as an injection into the tummy. (also used to treat tumors) Carrisyn, I think, is the freeze-dried form of Acemannan and I am not familiar with this form of it -- though I did see a couple of things on the net and will read up. It may be that this is a form that is reconsituted as an injectible for tumors -- I just don't know. You probably know a lot more about this than I do. The injectable Acemannan (listed on the website) is what I used on my Mama Kitty who was very symptomatic and very sick with FeVL+ and very anemic. She is like a new cat today. She was diagnosed last May. I hope so much that whichever course of treatment you choose - your dear Rompi will come through this very well. Please give him a hug from me. elizabeth On 1/24/07, Paolo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
If any of you got in contact with a *cooperative* person at Carrington Labs, I would need to know the name of that person (by private Email of course) so I can try to save some time and get in contact with somebody that is *willing* to help... Thanks Paolo
