Re: I have a sick kitty, help...
Michele, I have not been on the computer for a few days, but I hope you got some help with Rascal. Being 2 and a half years old is at least in his favor. I hope things will turn around for him. tonya --- Michele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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 adding Interferon as well. He is looking at where to get some for him. 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.

Re: I have a sick kitty, help...
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.

Re: I have a sick kitty, help...
Read the articles on Immuno-Regulin on the website for this group (www.felineleukemia.org). I have used it twice with severe URI's (one was pneumonia and the other a URI causing fever and lack of appetite) and it helped a lot. One of my cats had some 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 the author of one of the articles recommends, but the dose in the pill book is .5 to 1 ml, so she got the high end. I would recommend starting with .5 ml.

RE: I have a sick kitty, help...Immuno-regulin
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 effectshad one shot every week for 3 or 4 weeks I think.
