Hi Belinda, Due to his Kidney readings being Ok my vet seems to think that the epogen or Aranesp, will not help in this case, also remember he is FELV positive. at the beginning his kidneys where not so good on the readings , but we believe this was due to his bad mouth infecting the kidneys

I'm writing about yet another cat in Rochester, NY that has been diagnosed with leukemia. The woman contacted me a few months ago to see if I could find a home but there was no reason she shouldn't keep the cat. I explained to her that this is not a death sentence and that she shouldn't get rid

Immuno-regulin is NOT the same thing as interferon omega (Virbagen Omega). They are completely different medicines, not in any way related. I recommend trying the Immuno-regulin. There are articles about it on this group's web page. It is an IV shot. You can order it without prescription

I cannot take in another cat at this time, unfortunately. Plus I am in Georgia. But please widely crosspost this situation. Most of us on this list have felv positive cats that live with our felv negative cats.Many people are now willing to mix cats because the vaccine may not be 100%

I don't recall dosage as it was YEARS ago, but 1 mL sounds right. My cat had no adverse reactions that I know of, but she was very sick already at the time we started the treatments, so I may not have known.Her worst adverse reaction was fear from going to the vet. :(tonya[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I just took Jake into the vet because he has been acting not himself lately. Lethargic, not eating as much, not as active, etc. And I also saw him eating his littler. I had a feeling he was going to be anemic and I am sad to say I was right. I have no expereince whatsoever to this so I am all new.

Dexamethasone, Epogen, Immuno-regulin, doxicycline, and a transfusion. Some cats on the list have gone almost that low, though not sure that low, and bounced back from combinations of these. Michelle
