I realized the other day that I still have a bottle of Immunoregulin that I
don't need anymore. I'd hate to just throw it out. It's the jumbo size, so
someone with lots of cats like Hideyo or Sally might be a good candidate. Only
thing is that it requires IV injection. My vet charged $10 per IV,

Okay I'm a little relieved. It turns out that it was depomedrol that Brissle
was given. I read it takes about 3 days to take effect. Yesterday was a little
scary. I made the liver shake and gave some to Brissle yesterday. I think that
may have stimulated her to eat a little. This morning, she ate

oncologist, if I did that at this point, it would be strictly an ego thing.
And

Well I'm at the end of my bag of Science Diet CD/S.
So it's time to buy more food. Here's my dilemma. Brissle is my FeLV+ female.
Her FeLV- brother Squermie has urine crystal issues. They are both 8 years old.
Squermie was about 2 when he had his urine crystals episode. It was really bad.
Belinda, you're right. Educating people on dealing with animals is very
