Re: [Felvtalk] First Doses of Imulan For Murphy Rosie
Gray Kitty just turned 2 years old on September 6th. He was diagnoses on his 1st birthday. Up until about 3 or so months ago, he still tested positive with both types of tests. He has had two blood transfusions and two bone marrow biopsies. The second biopsy confirmed the FeLV had gone into his bone marrow at UCD. We also work with a specialist out of Michigan who used to do bone marrow transplants in cats. He along with our vet, has guided us with is meds. We are currently reducing his Prednisolone as he has started a new one that will not have as much harmful long term effects on him.

Re: [Felvtalk] First Doses of Imulan For Murphy Rosie
Thanks for elaborating on Gray Kitty's health and treatment history, Christy. We're all obviously interested in how the LTCI is helping other cats and making comparison notes for our own kitties who are currently undergoing the same treatment protocol. I am wondering if your vet thinks the blood transfusion was instrumental in Gray Kitty's ultimate FeLV negative status or whether it was strictly due to the LTCI administration. My vet recommended against the blood transfusion for my Lukey at his last visit because his anemia was stable and not worsening at that point and because there are also risks associated with the blood transfusion. If I thought it would facilitate a negative FeLV status I would certainly undertake it along with the LTCI treatments but would need more information. Thanks again for your efforts to keep us all updated with Gray Kitty's history and medical treatment. I appreciate it very, very much.
