My 2 cents... I asked my new young vet to look into I R and she went
to her same internet group that poo pooed DEX and got the word that it
wasn't any better than interferon..
If you have been following my story you know what I am thinking about
the decision to not give Leo more DEX
However I have seen interferon work miracles sometimes...
I don't remember if Crackers is on interferon or not but I believe
all FeLV+ kitties should have it on hand and given it at the 1st sign
of any bug...
The last kitty that I got is a double pos. and came from a vet that
has her on it all the time even though she seems perfectly well...
So not all vets are afraid to give meds before they are dying and
its too late...
OOPS...Guess I am still ranting..

Kayte,
Have you looked into Immuno-Regulin yet? One of our list members used
it subq, (under the skin injections) instead of the recommended IV
(intravenous). I haven't tried it myself, but it might be in order for
Cracker's URI. What has your vet prescribed? Did they put him on any
medications? One thing about our felv babies is that you have to hit
any sign of illness hard and fast. I'm glad you are feeling more
relaxed and confident, but don't take a wait and see approach with
this. It already sounds like it's getting worse, not better. Keep us
up to date on how that darling Crackers of yours is doing. Prayers
that he's better very soon,

Thanks Kelly I am feeling better.. Crackers is sick for the
first time in his life...a cold im thinking...i have a vet appointment
tomorrow. I look at crackers as my first living on my own pet and my
baby...I got him 5 yrs ago he has been with me my entire "adult" life.
Since he was 9 weeks old:) He is walking around sneezing on
everything..My 4 yr old thinks it is the "cutest". Crackers is handling
his first "sick" time great..I been baby talking him saying Oh my dad
whats the matter...He sneezes and then licks it up. Other than that he
has been fine. LOVING his new food. Eats like a horse and playing like
a kitten. Kelly Good Luck with the IFA on Max. I am sure Max will be
ok. Thanks for your support. Crackers sends u and max lots of kisses:)
kayte
You sound so much better and I am so glad to hear it, I'll bet
you can look at Crackers now and see your wonderful companion rather
than an terminally ill animal, I am still awaiting the IFA results on
Max but we are enjoying the heck out ofr him and hes is just a bundle
of juvenile cat curiosity, I am starting the Immuno Regulin if the IFA
is pos. I have it already.
One day at a time,,,but enjoy the days right now.
Kelly
