I wish you the best! My cat uses the same medication & has tested
negative for leukemia for the last few months. We have no idea if it
is the injections or what. He is also on Prednisolone & has bi-weekly
blood test to check levels. We just take one day at a time. Hang in
there!

Subject: [Felvtalk] First Doses of Imulan For Murphy & Rosie

We have our fingers crossed!! We
arrived at our vet's office right after the shipment
arrived. Rosie and Murphy had their exams and blood drawn
for baselines-CBCs and their 3rd FeLV tests. We have
previous tests from June 3rd this year also. Those tests
showed that Murphy's levels were changing (similar to
Schatzi's who just passed less than a month ago). We are
really concerned for our last 2 cats because Rosie (tabby)
is the only female of the litter of 5-her 4 brothers have
passed away in the last 5 months from severe anemia. She has
just turned a year old last month-she insists on a game of
fetch several times a day with her lamb's wool mouse. (she
has plucked most of the wool off and I can't find another
one.) Murphy is a semi long haired, polydactyl, tuxedo boy
with 7 toes on each front foot and a spare on each hind
foot-He was dumped into the feral colony that Rosie and her
brothers came from. He is the sweetest boy, so playful and
just wants to
hang out with you-he follows you around like a dog. He
looks like he has Ov-Gloves on! Anyway-this disease seems
like a switch is flipped on and there is nothing we can do
to save them-we are hoping that using this product before
the symptoms of anemia appear will give us some chance of
them surviving for a long time. Maybe by taking a proactive
approach we will be able to turn the odds a little. We
are beginning with one injection a week for a month, then
every two weeks...to once a month. Blood will be drawn every
two weeks at first. We had the first injections at the vet's
office today (the tech did Murphy's and she watched while I
gave Rosie's). I will be giving the remaining 8 doses at
home to save costs. We'll have the blood test results back
Monday. Say a little prayer for us.
