Hi all. Isabella is improving again. She is on interferon 7 days on and 7 days off. We opted for transdermal prednisone (once a day) and transdermal tramadol (twice a day). She hates pills. She gets transfer factor sprinkled on her canned food. We have finally found a food she LOVES ~ it's Innova EVO dry. I think someone here suggested it.
Anyway, no more tremors or crying out on this regimen. Cutting the pred and inteferon out altogether did NOT work. I know interferon is controversial (some vets think it doesn't work) but since we have a seemingly magical formula FOR NOW, we are sticking with these 3 meds. Last vet check ~ NO temp and highest ever weight. For those who don't know her, she is anemic, has an enlarged spleen and history of high temps, crying out in pain, joint stiffness and tremors and shivering/spasms (we've had her 2 months). Blessings, Laurie
