Laurie, I'm so happy to hear that Isabella is doing great! All your hard work in trying to figure out what would work for her paid off! I think that's wonderful!
Please keep us posted on Isabella's progress. Prayers going out for her continued improvement. :) Wendy "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has!" ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ ----- Original Message ---- From: laurieskatz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 2, 2007 1:14:37 PM Subject: Re: Isabella update and what seems to be working for us. 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).
