Others? I read a study where FOI (feline omega interferon) was used among sick felk kitties and the study did prove that it did help even among sick kitties. Alpha is human interferon and you give it orally - FOI is feline interferon and you can give it as an inject able usually. You can only get it from other countries and they are expensive, but it's more effective than alpha - and also a kitty will develop antibody to human one so it won't be effective after a couple of months. My vet order directly from UK and I get it in a few days - you are supposed to have DFDA approval letter - but you don't need it - I have gotten about 10 shipments so far without FDA letter with no problem.

Others? Hi all! As I'm getting ready for this evening's vet appointment, I realize I have lots of research on IR, Epogen, and Doxy...but not much on some of the other things I've heard about on this list (namely Interferon and Acemannan). Is Interferon something that could be helpful at this stage, or is it something you give before they get sick to prevent the virus from becoming active? I've heard of Alpha and Omega...is there a difference, if so, which do I use? Also, what about Acemannan? I read on www.felineleukemia.com that it can be helpful in combo with Interferon. What do you all know or think about using it at this stage (now that he's already sick)? Any info would be MUCH appreciated!!!!! THANK YOU!!! MJ and Slinky :) _____ Expecting?
