No, I don't have a home test. Thank you for the info

Your right. When they drew Smokey's blood it was from
the vein in the neck and it wasn't nice to watch but
if my being in there helped him it was worth it. I

Taking Smokey to the vet to get ImmunoRegulin through
an IV is just not a good option for me. Smokey really
stresses out at the vet. He hisses and is just really
unpleasant. I have found that if they do everything
in the examination room where I can be with him he
does somewhat better. I will a
Thank you, Lance, for taking the time to explain your vet's thoughts on this.
I will keep this in mind should we decide to try IR in the future.
I hope Ember is feeling better,

Last Spring, when Ember first tested positive for FeLV, I started
looking into treatment options. ImmunoRegulin came up, so I spoke to
my vet about it. I asked him if we could do it sub-q, and he
recommended that we not. At that time, I wasn't ready to give IR a
