Thank-you! We are giving Referon-A (Interferon) which I assume is the human
med. We have sent a follow up mail to our vet with a copy of yours and
discontinued the interferon again. hope for some answers tomorrow. Thanks for
your response!

Is this for human alpha that you give orally or felin omega interferon -
the main reason you give human alpah on and off, is because a cat will
eventually build immunity to human alpha if you give continuously - but it does
not happen for a few months - so eventually, I would suggest that you want to
switch to feline omega interferon (you can dilute it and give it to her orally
like you do for alpha -- but she will not build immunity to it like she may for
human alpah..) - but it's safe to give her continuously otherwise..

Isabella finished her current 7 days ON interferon on Wednesday. She has
been meowing a bit more yesterday and today and has seemed a bit uncomfortable
again. Our vet was going to research and advise whether we can use interferon
continuously. We have not heard and it's the weekend. We did restart her on our
own today. Any thoughts, please? Thanks!
