Re: [Felvtalk] Another Murphy relapse-now URI

Hi Alice, You might ask your vet about azithromycin. I use it for URI/bartonella, often hard to tell the difference without testing. My vets would use azithromycin in either case anyway, so I skip the testing and do the az. You can get fish-flavored, oil-based, which lasts 90 days versus 10

Hi Gary, Do you have any information on concentration of acemannan and dosing for the discontinued product? I'm investigating several sources for powdered acemannan, which is taken orally. It might offer an alternative to the injectable form, although I suspect doses are smaller and might

Hi Alice, What I like about LTCI is it enhances the immune system as opposed to alot of medicines which overpower the disease, with possible side effects. I don't see any practical way to overdose LTCI. I give monthly LTCI shots to my healthy FeLV/FIV positives. I'd probably go to once a

Hello Mattia, I'm checking with my source to see if I can arrange to have it shipped directly to you. This would probably be the fastest approach. If that won't work, I do have an extra bottle I could send to you. If you could forward your address, I'll get this going as soon as possible.
