Oral dosing is okay with human interferon Alfa 2b. You might want to try retromad1, imported from Malaysia. There is a man, John B., on the fivtherapy yahoogroup who has a colony of felv and fiv cats, and lots of good advice. You might want to join that group (felv is discussed there, even though the group name is fivtherapy). Also, I will get in touch with
John via private email about your kitty. He is in South Africa, so if you’re in the US, there might be a time delay. BTW, I don’t hear too many success stories about tcyte. Not that it causes harm, to my knowledge, just that it doesn't seem to help. - Lorraine > On September 19, 2019 at 7:50 AM Wendy <we...@wendyfrank.net> wrote: > > > Hello Lorraine, it is interferon alpha 2B compounded that my vet ordered > for our cat from Road Runner Pharmacy.
