Re: Pekoe's Latest Tabbs Spain
Hi Marlene, My name is Sandra, and I am treating my boy Tabbs on Virbagen Omega Interferon the firstbatch cost me 405 euros, but it hasgone up, and the second cost me 500 euros, so that hurts, but I have not hand any side affects, Tabbs has been on it for over 4 weeks now, the first batch which was 5 vials of 10mu, and we treated him every other day injections only, so the batch only gave me ten injections, as we where giving him 1/2 a bottle every other day. The new batch we are giving every day, one day by mouth and one day injection. as my vet is unsure if giving it by mouth is correct. would be very interested to hear if giving by mouth with the Virbagen Omega Interferon is OK, as I hate doing the injections I am waiting blood test today to see how heis doing, and also awaiting to acquire the epogen, whichcausing problems on getting, I ordered it over ten days ago and am waiting for the hospital to ring me, when it arrives, but wonder if they are giving me the run around. Good luck and hope things improve for you both I would be grateful if every one could comment on the dosing of Virbagen Omega Interferon by mouth, I know the human interferon is given by mouth.

Re: Pekoe's Latest
Marlene, I am not sure what all the numbers mean, going up or down and such, but you and Pekoe are still in my prayers. I did see that the reticulocytes went up, so this is a good thing since he is producing red blood cells. Please keep us posted on his progress. And have a wonderful and restful weekend! :) Wendy __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
Re: Pekoe's Latest Tabbs Spain
Sandra, The research and investigating that we did when I was using Interferon Omega indicated that it did not work orally. If you want to give it orally as well as subq, I would use the Interferon A for the oral administration. I too wanted to hear that giving the Omega would work orally, alas, I don't think it's the case. As far as I know there shouldn't be a problem with mixing the two interferons, but I don't have any verification of that. I would just give the injections for the protocol you and your vet have decided on and then follow them with the IA later, if you feel it is warranted. One other thing, the 7 days on, 7 days off for the human interferon, is used when you plan on keeping them on it indefinitely, (in the hopes that they won't build immunity to it, unlike the feline interferon that it is believed does not build immunities). I always gave my guys IA, whenever they're symptoms called for it, (upping the dose if it seemed called for), and then when they were asymptomatic again, I'd stop. I'm pulling for you and your boy Tabbs, Nina Sandra wrote: Hi Marlene, My name is Sandra, and I am treating my boy Tabbs on Virbagen Omega Interferon the first batch cost me 405 euros, but it has gone up, and the second cost me 500 euros, so that hurts, but I have not hand any side affects, Tabbs has been on it for over 4 weeks now, the first batch which was 5 vials of 10mu, and we treated him every other day injections only, so the batch only gave me ten injections, as we where giving him 1/2 a bottle every other day.

Pekoe's Latest
Hello All, I never did get around to posting Pekoe's blood test results from 2 weeks ago. He had a recheck just yesterday as well. The first set of numbers are from Feb. 22, the numbers in ( ) are the normal ranges, and the second set of numbers are from Mar. 8 - WBC - 7.3 (Normal = 4.2 - 13) 6.6 RBC - 5.0 (N = 6.2 - 10.6) 5.0 Hb - 99 (N= 93 - 153) 101 PCV - 29% (N= 28 - 49%) 31% MCV - 59 (N= 39 - 52) 62 MCH - 20 (N= 13 - 17) 20 MCHC - 336 (N= 300 - 344) 325 RDW - 19.8 (N= 14 - 17) 18.7 Platelets - 18 (N= 93 - 514) 12 (most platelets are shift in nature) MPV - 17.5 (N= 8 - 21) 22.4 T.S. Protein - 81 (N= 60 - 80) 81 Reticulocyte Count - Retics % - 0.1 (Feb. 22) - 0.2 (Mar. 8) - Abs. # - 4.98 (N= 60) - 10.2 He's been on the higher dose of Prednisone (20 mg./day) for 10 days now, and has also had Interferon Alpha 1ml./day X 7 days (then off X 7days, etc.). The Internal Medicine guy that our vet spoke to said that it can take as much as 6 wks. on the higher dose of Prednisone before you see any substantial improvement in the numbers (if you're going to). The statement regarding the platelets being "shift in nature" - our vet says that means he is producing platelets,but that they'rebig ones. Pekoe continues to do quite well clinically. Still licking concrete but not quite as much. So, all in all, we're counting our blessings so to speak. We're in the process of gathering the necessary info for the Virbagen Omega Interferon, so see if it's something we can afford to do. My thoughts are with each of you who are caring for your ailing sweethearts, and those of you who have lost a beloved friend. Marlene Pekoe Angel Digby
