Thank you for all the friends providing your precious thoughts for Meowko. She seems doing fairly well today - she finished up almost a whole can for today's dinner!
I brought up using ImmunoRegulin, Acemannan, Interferon Alpha etc. with our vet yesterday. She however concerned about the safety of using ImmunoRegulin as she learned some reactions after injection may occur earlier. But she is very willing to listen to other people's experience and work with us. Does anyone have experience of using ImmunoRegulin on your FeLV cat? have you observed any issues/side effects after injection? (if you have gone through treatment plan by using ImmunoRegulin with your vet, may I possibly know where your vet is based, off the list, so that my vet may learn from your vet's experience as well?) Again, thank you very much (reading the responses does make me feel that Meow and I are not alone in this battle....)
