I talked to the vet on Saturday. Smokey was getting
an injection of Winstrol every 2 weeks. We are now
going to try 1 a month. The vet said we might
consider stopping the Equistim at some point in the
near future. His weight is now up to 7lbs.8oz. and he
acts like a SuperCat now. I guess that
It's about $35, I think, for a bottle, which is at least 5 or 6 doses, I
think, from revival.

Thanks Deanne, I'm archiving the info and sent a forward to Sally
How wonderful that Chelsea is doing better!! What is the course of treatment your vet has used for the immunoregulin? I have seen different ones. How far apart and what dosage?Am getting ready to start one of my girls on that - my vet said .2cc per day for 4 days, then .2cc per week for 4
Deanne,
Thank you for posting about your success with Chelsea. I'm so pleased
she's doing better!!
I'd like to know the specifics of your protocol/dosage too. Is she
getting the IR subq, or IV? A friend from the list that no longer
posts (I'm sure most of you remember Sally from San Jose) is
I am so glad that Chelsea is doing better. I would
like to know the course of treatment your vet has
chosen for immuno-regulin too. Smokey is on
immuno-regulin but the vet hasn't said how long he
will continue to get the injections. To be honest I
thought he would continue to get 2 injections
Deanne,
Congratulations on Chelsea's improvement!!! How
exciting! I hope she is relishing feeling better
again. Bless you for doing all you can to help heal
her. She knows how much she is loved. Please keep us
posted on her progress and I'm going to write down her
specific treatment and add
Hi Cindy,
It doesn't make much sense to me to continue with IR indefinitely. The
way I understand it, it's a bacteria that is introduced to help the
immune response wage an attack. The heightened immune response to the
IR also takes care of whatever problem they were having in the first

I haven't been able to check my mail lately so this is
a late reply. The vets haven't said anything about
how long they plan to keep Smokey on the Winstrol or
the Equistim. They did mention we might try to start
giving the Winstrol injections every 3 weeks instead
of every 2 weeks. Smokey's
Hi Deanne,
I had my kitty Cricket on ImmunoRegulin only for about
a week or two, but lost him to anemia in November. I
think I gave it to him too late. Is Chelsea anemic?
If so, you should also consider Epogen. Other members
here have more experience with either of these than I
do. Good luck
With her count at 9.6 it is a good idea to get a cross matched
blood transfusion, if you decide to do epogen I would get started right
away, it can take up to three weeks to work. Also I must again say I
would be giving the doxy even though she tested negative for
hemobartonella, many

Hi. With a hematocrit of 9.6, if you want the chance to treat her I think
you need to get her a transfusion. That value is very low, and if it goes lower
she will not make it. A transfusion can buy you days or weeks to get other
treatments going.
Tell your vet that several of the cats on

get a

Cindy,
That's wonderful news about Smokey! How long does the vet intend to
keep him on Winstrol? I know there are people that treat with equistim,
(Immuno Regulin), as a preventative, but because it is a bacteria used
to stimulate the immune response, I would think it wouldn't be something
Hi, My Smokey has been on equistim for about 2 months
now. He had been tested for felv when I first got him
and it was negative but after about a month he started
getting fevers. After alot of medications to get the
fever down only to have it go back up again the vet
decided to check for felv
First thing is to determine what is causing the anemia, giving doxy
even when hemobart isn't found is a good idea, hemo is VERY hard to
detect and the doxy will almost always take care of it and won't hurt
Chelsea if she doesn't have hemo but will save her life if she does.

My Tucson had two episodes where her White Blood Count went way DOWN... Vet
gave her a series of immuno-regulin and it went back up. She didn't seem to
have any major side effects--for her that means she kept on eating in her

Lots of people, including me, have had success with it for URI's, and it is

it. Deanne

Deanne,
Do you know what the cause of the anemia is? Did they do any other tests
to try to determine why
