Sheila, I have no better advice to offer, but want to add that 
your neighbors should be soundly kicked for leaving their poor old boy in so 
much trouble.  Shame on them, and bless your kind heart for wanting to help 
this poor baby.

Wendy,
 
Hi my name is Karen, I am new to Feline Leukemia. My Female Maine 
Coon Cat Ms. Clyde has been diagnosed with non-regenerative anemia and 
Erythroleukemia. 
I have an appointment to go to the Oncologist with her tomorrow. Hopefully 
we can come up with a treatment plan for her. She is doing really well in spite 
of her diagnosis, eating and drinking on her own, using her litter box and 
eliminating both no problems, playing, socializing, sunbathing in her two 
favorite spots, just being her usual self. I have said off and on for the last 
month that she doesn't know how sick she is.
 
I would love a copy of the Holistic and Regular Care for Sick Kitty.
 
Thanks so much,

Re: I have a sick kitty, help...Immuno-regulin

2005-10-15 Thread gary



Some people write a 4 in roman numerals as  
instead of IV.  The notation might then mean a murmur rated at 4 to 5 and 
that would be a fairly serious one as 5 is the worst.  I have no idea why 
anyone would write this in roman numerals, if that is what this 
means

  My main concern with the Immunoregulin would be the side effects of the 
  high fever and stress it sometime causes immediately on a cat with a severe 
  heart murmur. Definitely something to ask your vet about first. I still am not 
  sure what grade a VI is. heart murmurs need to be handled very 
  carefully.

I ditto good comments on
immuno-regulin.  My Tucson has had two series each time her white blood count went very
low.  Both times it came right back up…  She had no side
effects—had one shot every week for 3 or 4 weeks I think….

used it twice with severe URI's (one was pneumonia and the other a URI causing

bad temporary side effects of high fever and chills for about an hour after
each dose, but then got a lot better. She got 1 ml intravenously, which is what

Michele,
Sorry to hear about Rascal, but know that there is a great chance that all will be well after this hump you guys are handeling right now. 
 
Kittens can be vaccinated at 12 weeks, or so I am told they can also be tested earlier than that, I just vaccinated a 11 week old and all seems to be fine with her.
 
Good luck and keep us posted.

We have a cat named Rascal.  He is 2.5 years old and very much loved, and this 
includes my husband.  He is a "7" toed tabby with a great disposition.  He was 
diagnosed today with feline leukemia by Dr. Seely at Banfield Veternary Clinic 
in Grand Junction Co.
  His WBC is 3.7 and his platelet count is still okay.  His temperature today 
was 104 at the clinic.  He is still drinking and eating some.  I have been 
giving him 50cc of subQ Normal Saline and he just finished Clavamox about 4 
days ago and he has been getting better since starting on Metronitazole 3 days 
ago.  He had not been purring or meowing much until after he started on this 
drug.  
  The doctor now has added Amoxicillin to his treatment and is looking into

  We have been keeping him inside with us.
  What additional treatment can be done or suggested?
  Next, how young can a cat be to receive the vaccination for this and tested 
for this.

thank you for any information that you can help me with.
