We have been through a lot. GrayKitty has been on the LTCI for over 6
months. He has been testing negative for the last 2-3 months.
Previously, he had gone through 2 blood transfusions to help deal with
his anemia. He is also using Interferon, 1 week on and 1 week off.

Would love to know how long your cat had been FeLV positive
before being started on Imulan's LTCI and how long he was on
the Imulan before the FeLV negative blood test? My cat just
received his third injection and though he was heading into
anemia and had stopped eating, with syringe feeding and
three shots on board he's no worse than he was, so we're
hopeful. Still, it would be wonderful to know what type of
time frame we're looking at for any hope of a negative FeLV
status with the LTCI.
Thanks so much!

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!

Date: Saturday, September 19, 2009, 3:11 AM 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.
