I think the main reason my Sam stayed in remission (FELV)
for 6 years was the interferon.....30u/per cc vial- one cc per day 7 days off-7
days on- orally-in other words, 15 cc per month. I would swear by
it. Of course, there were other daily medications, and weekly ones, but I
think the interferon was the mainstay of treatment. For anyone interested,
I can send them (privately if wanted) all of his meds...........it was sort of a
miracle for both Sam and me.....love and prayers work miracles ,
too...........Helene

Hi Michelle,
Do you use the Immunoregulin as a preventitive, or just when
symptomatic? Will is doing great at the moment (knock on wood), no fever,
gaining lots of weight again, and hogging all the toys. I hate to add
something and unbalance the good results we are having so far. Also,
I know lots of folks say it made a difference for their cats, but my many
years of unsuccesful fertility treatments have made me cautious and a
bit cynical about anything that is touted as a treatment for
desperate, emotionally charged diseases without rigorous science to back up the
claim. (I've heard so many times that I just need to relax, go on
vacation, visit a chiropractor, quit trying, or adopt to magically become
pregnant, with a lot of anecdotal evidence to back it up. I've done most
of the stuff on that list except adopt (financially impossible) and I'm not even
close to getting pregnant. Although, I guess all my scientifically backed
treatments and medicines were equally unsuccessful, so what the
heck!) I am just learning about all this FeLV stuff, but from my
understanding there seems to be a little more scientific evidence that
interferon helps? I think that the real reason my vet wasn't that keen on
the interferon is that it was too much trouble for them to order in a big batch
and dilute it and freeze all the little samples. She asked me today if it
was easy dealing with the animal hospital in town to get it, and when I said
yes, she said she may start prescribing it again if she can just get it already
made up from them. I'm sure I can convince her to try IR down the
road if the other treatments stop working. I just wish I knew
for certain it could help...
Peace,
Beth

Beth, people (including me) have had really good luck with Immuno-regulin
getting rid of the symptoms you are talking about.
