Yes the the immuno-regulin worked on Smokey's fevers.
Some vets say the equistim (immuno-regulin)needs to be
given IV but the vet I used said you can do it subq.
It worked for him. I can't remember exactly how many
shots they would fix up for me. I think it was
anywhere from 10 to 12. It cost me around 20 to 30
dollars. I kept them refrigerated. Smokey would have
never tolerated them doing the IV. He hates the vets.
I hope this will help.
