Linda, do you know if their protocol just starts the cats out on monthly doses
or if they do something like daily for some time then weekly, finally going to
monthy?This is the way Immunoregulin is done if administered IV or subQ. I
really like the IM idea -- probably works better than
From what I've read I believe that they only give the
drug IM once per month. They did not mention
following a protocol like the one for the IV
administration.
About a week after my first email they did sent this
information:
Hi Linda,
Here is some more input from one of our staff vets.
Linda, thanks for passing on the info from Best Friends. That was nice
of them to follow up with you.
If anyone is interested here's my 2 cents reaction... If I had a
situation that I was hoping IR would save my cat's life, then I'd take
them to the vet and get it administered IM. If I had
Oops, sorry I meant take them to the vet and get it administered IV.

The question is, if you take the trouble to go to the vet then why
not give it IV the way it is intended to be given,, that has the
accurate dosing . plus many drugs can be given iV but cause problems
given IM or SUB q as it can cause tissue damage,
I have
Linda,
Thanks for doing this! This is good information for
us to have. I will 'log' this email for future
reference. I still think it's very interesting that
they do intramuscular injections. It's the first I've
ever heard of it.

We give this drug to our Felv positive cats once a

If a cat is symptomatic in any way then we skip that

Wow - that's a great price! My vet hasn't even
suggested giving my cat the immunoregulin. We're

Hi Wendy,
What dosage did they inject IM ? .5 ml ?
Linda
VERY surprised to find that they give intra-MUSCULAR
(not IV or subQ!) injections of ImmunoRegulin every
two weeks.
It's here! Your new message!
Hi Linda,
That's a good question, which I did not ask. You
might try to email someone at Best Friends to see if
they will forward it to one of the vets. I bet they
will let you know. There is a list of some of the
staff members and their email addys on the website.

Very cool Kelly! I would love to go back this summer

He would LOVE the cats! The fall sounds much better

There's a waiting list, I guess I should get on it.
I couldn't come up with the amount of $$$ I would need in that timeframe,
though. I estimate it'd cost me around $1500 to go,.
Thanks for letting me know though:)
