Subject: Latest Slinky Update
Hi again everyone. Thanks so much for your support and ideas.
After Slinky's fever spiked to 104 last night, we gave him some sub-q fluids
and it went down to 103. :-| Not great, but better.
He did eat during the night and seemed to do okay...but his fever is back up
to 104 now. We tried to give him more fluids, but he won't keep the needle in.
He got about 250 cc's in him but that's it. We're gonna try more later with a
smaller needle, but...ugh. I HATE having to poke him and take his temp and
stuff all the time...he's getting really sick of it! Poor baby.
He feels very hot and is pretty lethargic. He's still eating though.
The doctor called to check in a bit ago (!!!!!!!)...i don't know if that's
normal but it certainly hasn't been normal for me!!! She said she's glad to
hear he's eating. She thinks I'm doing all I can and that eating and being
alert might be a good day for him. :( Seems possible that the fever is his
body adjusting to the transfusion, but with the FeLV it's hard to know.
I asked her about IR and Interferon and she said she's never used it but saw
it used with dogs in vet school. She said she'd ask around today and see if
anyone had had positive results using it with cats with FeLV. I saw someone's
post about getting it online w/o a scrip (can't remember who posted
it...sorry). It's not cheap! But I may be able to swing a little. It's $35
for 5mL, $150 for 50mL. But I have NO idea what the dose would even be.
Anyone know? I have a vet tech here all week so we could give it here for
now...but what would the dose be??
Any ideas or suggestions would be great. Thanks!!!
MJ
