Jennifer,
I'm sorry you and Allie are having such a hard time. I know there have
been several cats that seemed to benefit from IR, it may be worth a try
at this point. Someone remind me, did Kerry R use this for her kitty
with the spiking temps? When I first heard about IR, I had heard that
it had to be administered IV, then someone posted to the list about
using it subq, (forgive me, my mind seems to be mush tonight and I
can't remember the specifics). I'm praying for you and Allie's quick
recovery. Let us know what's going on,
Nina

Please try Immuno-Regulin (see articles on www.felineleukemia.org).
Smokey on this list went through the same thing and completely stopped
getting fevers once he started getting Immuno-regulin shots. I believe
he gets them sub-q at home now. Michelle

102.5 with Metacam (kitty NSAID) and sq fluids. I did get the vet to
show me how to give the sq fluids, so I can administer them now if she
stops eating and drinking and looks dehydrated, or if her temp goes up
(I've been monitoring her temp daily). They were also thinking of
giving me some Metacam to administer at home, but decided to hold off
on that. This is her 3rd temp spike in 2 weeks. The vet was prepping
me for the fact that at some point Allie's body is not going to be able
to tolerate these temps anymore and is not going to fight them off even
with treatments because the fevers are causing such a stress on her
system. Of course we don't know if that will be a week or a month, but
it looks like it may be sooner than I thought. It's so hard because 2
days ago she was totally back to herself- eating great, playing, and
she even sleep with us! I guess the calm before the storm... Keep her
in your thoughts. I don't want her to suffer, but I'm not ready to say
good-bye yet either! I'm still hoping she can beat these fevers, but
that's not looking realistic anymore and I don't want to torture her...
