I know exactly what you mean, it seems much longer, but I realize that she has been on FOI less than two weeks, right? I know from reading dr. Ishida's study, some cats took at least couple of weeks before all fluid were disappeared.. the only thing I did not see is that the level of anemia - as I believe non their cats and including Pancho was not that anemic..
Michelle, I also recommend that you give her modacure (sp) - immune balancer to Lucy - Steroid - it's a hard call isn't it? I really did not use for most of FIP cats until towards the very end as I felt that steroid will destroy all (good and bad) immune system - and they will need good immune system to fight them off -- This is something that I was not going to recommend, but I will do so off line in case you are interested in.. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 11:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Lucy's fluids Hideyo, since it seems like fip, I am not sure what to do to keep her comfortable. I am tempted to give her steroid shots. However, if there is a chance the feline interferon and epogen could actually help, maybe more steroids would not be the best thing. Have you read or heard about any cats who have been as clinically ill as Lucy and with so much effusion, and for several weeks already, where the feline interferon ended up helping? I am actually losing hope and thinking more and more of just trying to keep her comfortable, though I don't even know what the best way is to do that. In a message dated 2/1/2007 1:29:43 P.M.
