Hand Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2009 10:26 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] My thanks and also a list of Sammy's meds Thank you, Gary, and Sue, for the geriatric websites!!! My friend, April, is so grateful for the information!! Susan, below is a list of Sam's maintenance meds, copied from my records -po is by mouth, qd is daily, and sc is subcutaneously.....nursing shorthand. I believe that the interferon made the real difference. The great thing was, people on the list were the ones who knew about the drugs that worked! My vet did not, and admitted it, and was happy to prescribe what I told him should work. Also, there was (and still is) a compounding pharmacy not too far away which made up the interferon solution. I also have a pet drug reference book which tells you about the drugs, interactions, usage, etc. That is good to have, anyhow. Although there's Google, of course. I hope this helps!! Helene He is on maintenance meds of interferon 1 cc po -7 days on-7 days off, pettinic 2 cc po qd, winstrol 2 mg po qd, taurine 250 mg po qd, . procrit .0 7 cc s.c. 1x wk, vit B12 .25cc s.c. 1 x per wk. Continue love, treatment, and prayers as of August, 2002. Keep paws and fingers crossed that we can at least keep this horrible disease at bay for a few more years-and that treatment for all felv+ kitties becomes more well-known and standardized. Remember that there is hope!!!!!!! I am so grateful for my FELV list- their words of wisdom and love and caring have helped me devise a treatment plan which no vet could do. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
