Hi Cindy Do you use the immuno-regulin when needed or are you on a maintenance dose for Smokey? My cats have finished their preliminary protocol. The vet plans a monthly dosage. In the meantime Junior got sick, now Tiny seems to have the URI. Tiny's cold is not as bad. He does seem a bit pale(his

Re: Prayers needed for Bandy-- diff. between anabolic and corticosteroids

2006-12-21 Thread Lernermichelle
Winstrol is an anabolic steroid, which is used to build muscle mass. I think the I-R instructions refer to corticosteroids, like prednisone, which reduce inflammation but also can suppress the immune system. They are different. Michelle In a message dated 12/21/2006 3:47:37 P.M. Eastern St

I lied-- one more email. If your vet is hesitant to use I-R with steroids, have him call the vet in Ohio, Dr. Mike Lees, who wrote the article. The name of his hospital is, I think, on the article (on _www.felineleukemia.org_ (http://www.felineleukemia.org) ) or some contact info of some sort

I really do not see what you can do at this point other than try the I-R. Nothing else seems to be working well for him, and I-R has helped all the other cats on this list who have had similar symptoms. I know I am at risk of sounding like a broken record at this point, and I am feeling l

Kerry, There is NO danger to using I-R with steroids. The reason the instructions for I-R say to go off steroids 7 days beforehand is to ensure the I-R is fully effective, since steroids can lower immune response. Lucy was on steroids when she got I-R, and Mike Lees, the vet from Ohio

Kerry, have you tried using the immuno-regulin? It seemed to help when Smokey was running fevers. The vet would tell me he had an infection somewhere but they never could find it. When I started him on the immuno-regulin it really seemed to help him. I am crossing my fingers but it has been 9 m
