I gave it twice a week but this was on a healthy FELV cat,
Ask those who have used it on ill kitties,

Hi all.  I said this in my last update but thought changing the 
subject would help.


Slink's fever still isn't quite down.  I'm considerinng trying IR 
(if I can afford it) and could order it without a scrip.  I have a 
vet tech here this week so we could even administer it 
here.  ButI have NO clue what the dosage would be!?!?!


I could afford to order a 5mL bottle if that will last me a 
bit...but I can't get the 50mL right now.


Anyone have any ideas on dosages?  His doctor called a bit ago and 
said she'd ask around if anyone had experience using IR with FeLV 
cats.  I may call her back but thought I'd see if you all can tell 
me about dosages.  Thanks!

Re: immuno-regulin dosage

[Lernermichelle]

Well, I did 1 ml, and it was for pneumonia with one cat and a bad URI with the other. It only took 1 dose with the first, and two doses with the second (3 days apart) and then they were better, so I never had to think about long-term dosing. I'm not sure. I think I would do every 3 or 4 days for a week or two, and if better taper from there and if not, keep it. If he does not respond after a dose or two at 1/2 ml, I think I would try 1 ml.

Michelle,
I think 1/2cc would be a good start tooHow many days apart did you wait?  Did you give it every 4 days for a couple of weeks?  I read that some place, too...and then you give it weekly for a few weeks then can go to once a month...Please let me know if I have this right...
I am going to order it myself on Sunday and have it shipped overnight so hopefully we will have it on Tues...
Anything else that could help is appreciated..

There must be a lot of varying opinions among vets about the dose for immunoregulin -- I have a foster kitty who gets .2cc every single month - continuing what her original  vet has done for 7-8 years.  My vet suggested .2cc per day for 4 days, then .2cc twice a week for 4 weeks and then .2cc every 4mo.  I can't decide how to choose the best protocol!Kerry Roach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Michelle,  I think 1/2cc would be a good start tooHow many days apart did you wait?  Did you give it every 4 days for a couple of weeks?  I read that some place, too...and then you give it weekly for a few weeks then can go to once a month...Please let me know if I have this right...

Re: immuno-regulin dosage

Kerry,
   At least to start, I would give I-R IV, at the vet's if you 
can't do it yourself. That is the only way the studies show it working and the 
company that makes it says it will work. They advise against giving it sub-q. 
However, at least 2 cats on this list have gotten it sub-q without problems, and 
they seem to think it works really well, so if he continues to get it after the 
first couple of times I might try it sub-q. But with how badly he is feeling 
right now, I would start IV.
 
   The Dr. who wrote one of the articles on the website says he 
gives 1 ml IV every 3 or 4 days for 10 days.  I have given 1 ml at a 
time.  But one of my cats had a reaction at that dosage, having a fever 
spike and chills for an hour (but then got SO much better immediately and 
started eating), so I decided I would start at a lower dosage next time. The 
veterinary medical reference book (don't remember what it is called, maybe the 
Veterinary Pill Book) says to give 1/2 ml to 1 ml.  So you might want to 
start with 1/2 ml.  Then again, one of my cats did fine with no side 
effects on 1 ml, and the 1 ml dosage really does seem to jump start their immune 
systems, so maybe at this point you should try it, I don't know.
Sorry I can't be more definitive,
Michelle
