Please, please, please forward to us the papers that your vet submitted, if possible, so we can replicate it with our own vets. Thank you for being he pioneer. Michelle

We don't have the medicine yet, she still has to order it from AbbeyVet in the UK. And they won't give us enough for Jazz and Tim (my other two FeLV babies), we have to apply separately for each case. I asked how we could make this available to everyone else who so desperately needs it, (meaning anyone that's fighting this f****ing disease). She said that their office doesn't do studies because they don't get grants and the time involved with writing papers etc. is overwhelming and takes them away from their regular practice of medicine. She did suggest that if the individual participants involved were willing to foot the cost, my doctor might be interested. When I'm finally face to face with my vet I'm going to throw myself at her feet and make an impassioned plea for all the FeLV cats who's guardians are struggling for answers. Michelle, the vet assistant, said she thought one of the reasons it took so long to get approval from the FDA was because it's so new. Maybe Grace, Jazz and Tim can break new ground and get some Virbagen flowing for the rest. PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! Nina >>
