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 appreciated....thanks!
Laurie

Laurie,
My cat Smokey had the same problem with fevers. After
many different stays in the hospital and 1 doctor at
my vet's office that didn't really seem like she
wanted to help Smokey I changed the vet he goes to.
The new vet started him on the immunoregulin. She had
me give it to him subq. It says IV but Smokey would
have never let her or me do that. We started giving
him injections 2 times a week for a month or so then
gradually decreased the dosage. Now I give it to him
once a month. It has been well over a year since he
has had a fever. I hope this might help you with
Isabella.
I won't use Revolution anymore. Back in May we went
camping and I took my diabetic cat (Katie) with us. I
used it because I was worried about mosquitoes getting
into the camper. This was the first time I had ever
used it. I know Katie had a reaction to it because
she developed diarrhea. She didn't have it before I
put it on her. Her skin became really flaky too.
I hope your Isabella starts feeling better soon.
