Re: new here ~ feleuk+ cat with high temp
I also treat with Advantage only when needed. When I brought my new kitten into my home last year she had fleas. I started my adult cats on Advantage, and after she was old enough, I treated everyone with Advantage for two months. This took care of the fleas. My cats are 100% indoors though. Laurie, I wish you the best with your furbaby. I hope her fever comes under control.

new here ~ feleuk+ cat with high temp ~blood work and other Qs
Hello and many thanks to all who responded (what a knowledgable and supportive group). Q: Is the immunoregulin something I would use instead of interferon? For those who responded about Revolution ~ we won't use this again. One of my cats with allergies responded very negatively to Advantage. So, I just have to hope we keep fleas at bay. We are 100% indoors but I work in my wildlife friendly yard and understand I could bring one inside. What is IM, please? Isabella's counts were as follows: (numbers in parens are normal ranges) WBC 3.65 (5.5-19.5) HCT 20.6 (30-45) RBC 3.72 (5-10) HGB 8.1 (9-15.1) GLOB (globulin?) 6.2 (2.8-5.1) Total protein 9.1 (5.7-8.9) Her Neut(?), Eosiniphils and PLT were all below normal MCHC and MCH were above normal The numbers that were desginated as being most dramatically off were: Glob, Neut,HCT, RBC. MCHC and MCH Any input greatly appreciatedthanks!

Re: new here ~ feleuk+ cat with high temp
Laurie, I am facing the exact same thing as you are at the moment except Ki won't eat. The metacam worked for us, but the minute he was off it, the fever started again. The bloodwork should come back today, but i know he is amemic. We tried Clavamox, clindrops, and baytril. We are now on a new thing for me, anyway...delta albaplex. It has pred and a few antibiotics. Fever is still up and down, but doesn't seem to be quite as high when it spikes. I ordered immuno-regulan (sp) from revival. Should be here today. People on this list have recommended it. They can chime in a tell you about it. Needless to say, Iam very fustrated and worried. We adopted Ki at 12 wks old. I just couldn't give him back. I had never had an FeLV cat before...had everything else, it seems. I love him very much, and so want him to make it. Stay on the list, and folks will help you.

Re: new here ~ feleuk+ cat with high temp
Hi Junior went through this last fall. In addition to antibiotics he also did the immunoregulin. I think that was what got him past the fevers and anemia. He also had gingivitis that the IR took care of. Is he out of the woods no. He is still here and stable. I do the IR monthly as maintenance sub Q. He got the original protocol IV. He also gets Transfer Factor, Manapol, and fish oil. I am hoping he does not have to go back on the metacam. For now he will get a break from it.

Re: new here ~ feleuk+ cat with high temp
Dede I am a bit slow reading my emails. The manapol is something I recently added. I lost the original email with the cheapest place to get it but I think the price I paid was close. It is derived from aloe, acemannan in a powder form that you mix with food. I was using 4 life Transfer Factor Plus which is quite expensive(IMO). I switched to Wellness Transfer Factor which I was able to purchase from the same company as the Manapol. I am using Salmon Oil as the fish oil supplement. I do not know if it is helping. Junior has glaucoma in his blind eye which can be painful and he also has inflammation causing hemaetomas in his ears. I am not sure what the theraputic dose is for the Salmon oil. I put a capsule in his food a day. I got all three items from www.betterlife.com . I am not all that familiar with stomatitis. It would be inflammatory so the Salmon oil wouldn't hurt and may help and the IR helped Junior's gingivitis so it might be worth a try. Before I ordered the Manapol I was just using the 4life Transfer Factor Plus formula, and I do think it helped Junior, he had been on it for several months. I wanted to add the Manapol and I felt I could not afford the more expensive Transfer Factor and the Manapol. Both products are immune boosters as is the IR. I am still on a learning curve with this disease. I feel what works for one may not work for another.

Re: new here ~ feleuk+ cat with high temp
Hi Laurie, Welcome to the group. I'm sorry to hear that Isabella is having a lot of trouble with anemia and fevers. One of the things we like to suggest for fevers is ImmunoRegulin. It helps to bring the fever down, but we don't really know why. It's only through experience with some of our members. You can get IR at Revival Animal Health; it's under the generic name EqStim. I don't have any suggestions as to why your kitty is having the fevers, other than the leukemia has 'kicked in' and is triggering the anemia and fevers. It's not uncommon to see this, but at the same time, it's not a good thing. That being said, it doesn't mean things can't be turned around. A lot depends on what type of anemia your kitty has and what is causing it. What is your kitty's HCT? What type of anemia did the vet say it is? Those two things will determine how to treat the anemia. One thing that should also be mentioned is hemobartanella. It is a blood parasite that is very hard to detect on a slide, and is common in FeLV+ kitties with anemia. This is why many times vets go ahead and prescribe doxycycline for anemic cats because that's what's given for hemobart and it won't hurt kitty if there is no hemobart. Doxy must be given for at least three weeks to be effective with hemobart. I have seen animals have bad reactions to Revolution. I won't use it. I will use Advantage however. On immune compromised cats, I won't use anything. I have an 18 year old cat who is hyperthyroid and she did not get flea meds this year, although she's inside 99.9% of the time. Thank goodness Isabella is still eating. A good diet and keeping her stress free are the two most important things you can do for her. Let us know if you have anymore questions. :) Wendy Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has! ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ Choose the right car based on your needs.
