I can't remember now what the time frame was. He was tested at his
first vet visit after I adopted him but I don't remember how long
that was after I brought him home. Normally I take a newly adopted
cat right in to be checked but it has been about four years...
Today I called my vet back and told him I wanted the Epogen because
I wasn't going to just sit back and watch him die. He called a
prescription in to Walgreens and they had to order it. I will pick
it up after work tomorrow along with the syringes and give him his
first injection tomorrow evening. My vet also contacted another vet
he knows who had Imulan in stock and I am going to pick that up
Thursday after work. I didn't realise that Epogen and Imulan could
be given concurrently. Who knows, maybe there is some hope for my
beautiful white fluffy boy after all.

Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Epogen? Interfuron?
sue, was casper ever double tested to make sure he was actually
negative? a
single negative test means no more than a single positive test
does: unless
we know for sure when the last possible date of exposure was, and
do a final
test 90-120 days after that, we cannot know that any cat is truly
negative.
this is how my cats all become exposed back in 2000--my housemate,
the
shelter director, brought in a beautiful little girl who'd tested
negative.
we didn't know to retest back then, and didn't. she became
symptomatic less
than a year later.
as far as i know, there are no cases of an actually negative cat
(tested
twice) who has been vaccinated ever becoming positive from living
with
positives. don't blame yourself for something that you probably
DIDN'T do.
