Probably close to 4 years ago I mentioned interferon to my vet... He had never worked with an FeLV+ cat before... He had used it with cows before and it was given IV to them... He grabbed his medical book and there were words in there about giving it both ways to cats but he decided that with the smaller animal oral was preferred.... My vet has been in practice for 30 years but he is still willing to learn an he pays attention when I hear of something new on hear... There may be better vets in the world but I doubt if there is any that will meet me himself in the middle of the night in 10 minutes... That's worth a lot when finding a vet as well as one that is willing to work with FeLV.... Tad Susan Dubose wrote: Well, Megan, I could be the one who is wrong. I have just never heard of Interferon "shots", just oral. Someone will be "popping in" to let us know,there is LOTS of great experience on this list...... Susan J.

Apparently my vet doesn't know what he's talking about... That kind of scares me. I think shots may exist, but he told me they'd have to be given every so often and then every single day. My other two cats, who were vaccinated today, keep randomly yowling. I have no idea why... ===== Original Message From Susan Dubose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== Sorry, I have never heard of interferon "injections", ONLY oral.
