Also, Marcia, can you take him to another vet for a second opinion?

Hi everyone
I hope everyone and all kitties are happy and doing well. I'm really
afraid that I am going to lose Fletch. I took him back to the vet
yesterday for sub q fluids. He had a temp of over 105. Bonier than what he
was last week. She gave him a long lasting penicillin shot. She did
mention that most people don't mess with it, they euthanize. He didn't cry
all the way there (25 miles) which is highly unusual. I gave her the info
on LCTI and she was on the computer looking it up when I left. I asked
just HOW sick is fletch and she said VERY. When I got him home he was
extremely off balance and couldn't navigate. He wasn't like that the day
before. His quality of life sucks! It's hard for me to tell if this is
permanent or just a passing bacterial infection. Opinions from the
experts? (all of you)(-:
Thanks so much
Marcia

Is each vial an individual dose or are there multiple doses per vial?
I am afraid this is way too expensive for my unemployment check but
want the info if I have to try to find a way to obtain it.
Thanks

Definitely try to get some LTCI. We put dexter on it for the last few
weeks
of his life and I feel that if we had started sooner, he might have
lived a
bit longer. LTCI is only available from the manufacturer:
www.tcyte.com -
if your vet will order it, they will overnight the medication to the
vet. I
was paying roughly $60 per dose at 1 dose every three days. It is
possible
to be more aggressive with the treatment and administer it daily. The
other
up-side to this medication is that it is administered via sub-cutaneous
injection - immunoregulin, on the the other hand, is via IV injection.
The
IV injection will stress the kitty out about 1000 times more than a
sub-q
injection. Immunoregulin also made Dexter spike a fever after each
dose -
something he didn't need and quickly wore him out. Tcyte can also slow
the
inevitable appearance of dreaded lymphatic cancer. Many benefits with
this
stuff. Please call the tcyte folks tomorrow - they are very helpful and
will give you all the info you need.

Hi everyone
I really need some help.
fletch is really not feeling well. His fever is back and he hides in the
basement. Two times now he has missed doses of his antibiotic because i
cannot find him anywhere. It seems like I can feel more of his backbone
and
his hipbones even though he continues to eat, but not as well. I don't
know
what to think. I feel so bad for him, he seems miserable.He acts like
the
base of his ear hurts when I touch him but the vet said he had never
seen
such clean ears. I think I need a different antibiotic, this amoxi isn't
working, or doees it take longer to work? There seemed to be a teensy
bit of
improvement, but now I feel like he looks as bad as the day I took him
to
the vet. What about this LTCI. Is this something I should discuss with
my
vet? Is it better than immunoregulin. I just feel like my poor little
cat is
wasting away here fast and there's something else I can be doing for him
What do I do????
Natalie, are you and all of your babies OK?
Thanks so much
Marcia
