HOW MANY STEROID SHOTS FOR HOW LONG?  The B12 should help offset the effects of 
the steroid shots some.  You could give her L-Lysine and other immune boosting 
supliments too.  Check with the vet to be sure this does not cancel out the 
effect of the steroid.  hang in there for more info from others.

My cat is 10 years old and has tested positive for FELV in the ELISA test but 
the IFA test was negative.  So she has virus but it seems to be dormant. I 
noticed that she has blood on her anus and it was inflamed.  So I took her to 
the vet and they did a biopsy of her anus as it was inflamed.  It turns out she 
has lymphoplasmacytic proctitis which from what I read is kind of like IBD. The 
vet wants to put her on a hypoallergenic diet, give a course of B12 shots sand 
give her some low dose steroids to reduce the inflammation.  I am concerned 
about the steroids as I have read that it suppresses the immune system.  I 
don’t want her immune system to be suppressed as I am worried the virus could 
come out.   Any thoughts?

[Felvtalk] Little Maynard-update plus Lactoferrin questions-please help

[mirna m]

Maynard is doing a lot better. We switched him back to Baytril which he gets 
orally now and everything is ok, no seizures and his overall condition started 
to improve-he is still coughing a bit and occasionally sneezes, but his apetite 
is enormous, his eyes cleared out and he wants to play now!:) His control 
checkup is tomorrow.

I give him Impromune (colostrum nucleotides plus shiitake extract especially 
designed for cats and dogs), but will later switch him to Lactoferrin.

Do you have experience with Lactoferrin and FeLV kitties and what kind?
I see everyone recommends a dose of 40mg per kg and that usually people give a 
dose of 125 mg 2 times a day (for bigger kitties).
Maynard is a bit over 1.5 kg. That dose would then be 60 mg a day. Divided in 
two doses, 30 mg in the morning and 30 mg in the evening?
Any insight on Lactoferrin and FeLV cats is much appreciated, and especially an 
impact on bloodwork,WBC, RBC, virus load and so on (as I have found studies on 
FIV but not FelV cats).

Thank you all!
