Hi Megan,
I will second the endorsement on Immuno regulin. Junior was treated for
hemobartonella in case he had it, but I think the immuno regulin got him
through the crisis. He was on the first protocol listed on the web page. It
is not expensive, although the vet or vet tech will have to give
Does immuno-regulin help with anemia? If the problem is her red blood cell
count, couldn't it be bad if her white blood cell count was increased?

All I know is Junior has not been anemic since he had the immuno regulin.
The vet says the last time she checked him his PVC was good for a FeLV cat.

the best place there is for info. short of a Veterinary Internist. I hope this

Having just gone through this recently and losing Monkee to anemia/FelV, I can provide this:
Blood transfusion: wears off in 10 days, if not less.
Signs of it wearing off are pretty clear: lack of energy, less moving around, white gums/nose (Monkee's nose was "perfect pink" and when his
Just so you know, some vets carry the oral interferon. The vets I have in
Louisville keep it on hand. If you decide on this you may want to call around.

As Cleopatra lay in state,
Olive actually did test negative on the ELISA test, although it wasn't a
strong negative. The IFA was done twice and came up positive both times. We

Don't know if it would help but my Tucson has had a couple of episodes of
very low white blood count. Vet gave her a series of immune-regulin shots
and it did perk her back up pretty quickly.
