Just a little note, Dede, to say that Spud is such a superb name for
a cat. And eating like a little piggy, he is apparently living up to
his name. And, I'm sure he's a couch spud, too!
Good luck with little Ki and the IR. If you've seen it subQ on the
list, hey. After all, Interferon is subQ for people and given orally
for cats.

Wendy, one other thing, my vet said the IR has to be
given IV. I heard on the list that youcan do it sub
Q. I canNOT do IV. Vet said she had never seen IR
work, but like everything else, it depends on the cat
and the circumstances.
Spud, my FIV had an HCT of 12 in Feb. Treated for
toxo, gave linotinic, prednisolone (for severe
stomatitis) and niacinamide. His HCT is 22 now. Not
perfect, but doable. He eats like a pig now.
BTW, m also giving Ki B 12 injections. Can't hurt.

Thank goodness for that! I hope that the IR breaks
those fevers. I have a good feeling, after
witnessing
Smokey's situation via Cindy, which was very
touch-and-go, that things will be good for Ki too!

Thank you, Wendy. His fever keeps going up and
down,
but not down enough. The IR should be here
tomorrow,
and so should the blood test results. He is still
not
eating, but I am feeding him the liver shake.
Between
that, and the fluids he is nicely hydrated. She
also
put him on linotinic.
I am trying to keep him cool, by sponging, and a
fan.
Wish I had a cooling blanket. He doesn't seem any
worse, infact, he is moving around more.

IR dosage for 8 lb. cat is .25 to .5 mL. The
generic
for IR that Revival Animal has is EqStim, I
believe.
I think you have to get Epogen through your vet,
but
not sure on that. It goes under several names
(Procrit, etc.)

Just got back from the vet. She put him on
Delta
Albaplex. It has several antibiotics and
prednisolone. We are to use it for 5 days.
Took blood. She said it looked thin. His
gums
are
OK, but it looks like he is amemic.
I called Revival. The IR is only 5ml. How
much
do
you use at a time?
Where do you get epogen and how much is it?
Vet
didn't know about it.
She is not optimistic, of course, but is doing
her
best, I believe.
Say a prayer for mylittle guy.
