Re: [Felvtalk] Treatments
I have used it and it really didn't seem to help much at all. I wouldn't say that $180 for 50 ml is not expensive. Not too bad per shot, but a lot up front. I had heard that Best Friends used it on their FeLV+ cats and I finally got their vet to answer me about it. He said they use it because that was what was being done when he took over. He had no idea why they were using it.

I spoke to one vet six years ago who felt like it was useful, though not a cure. If the archives are searchable, you might try looking there. Also, I think one member (I don’t remember who) said that she was keeping it in reserve at her vet’s in case she needed it. It isn’t expensive, and I don’t think it requires a prescription.

I have always used the Walmart brand (Equate) cream for foot fungus and it has worked very well. Not messy and doesn’t smell bad and is cheap.

Re: [Felvtalk] results from the snap and IFA tests
Lorrie, Sorry for your loss. I also sanctuary FeLV+ cats and find that if it is contracted as a kitten, at least 70% will pass before their first birthday. I have one I got when he was about 4 months and he is now almost 5 years old. I have a mother and two of her kittens that all tested positive and I have had them for 4 years. Just lost a couple I got as adults had them for 3 and 4 years. Sometimes they go very quickly and sometimes not. People ask me how I can do this, I just say how can I not. It is definitely not something for everyone though. There may still be a bit of controversy about slight positives but I think it is like a pregnancy test, you can't be slightly pregnant.

Not so. My cat, aged 10 months, whose 2nd Elisa test was a slight pos. died as did all his other litter mates who were FelV pos. The vet says they probably got the virus from their mother, as they were feral rescues. I have a FelV sanctuary and it is heart breaking work. I give them as good a life as I can, with no cages, but they rarely live longer than a year..

[Felvtalk] Diarrhea
This really is not about FeLV+ cats. I have 2 adult kitties with very bad, long term diarrhea. Both have no fever, no worms and no parasites. They have both had antibiotics, endosorb, pumpkin, and one has had pro pectilin. These kitties are not related and didn't live in the same place. The vet seems stumped and now has them both on metronidazole in case of some type of viral eneritis, they both got a steroid shot to reduce any inflammation. There does not appear to be any improvement in either cat. Any suggestion would be very welcome.

Re: [Felvtalk] seeking advice for treating FeLV positive old CKD cats with the new drugs
I have tried IR, but it did not have any noticeable effect on my cats, the experience of othe. There were one or two places selling it in the US asrs may be different. I used Acemannan several times to reverse anemia with good success. Unfortunately, the company who made it went bankrupt and it is no longer available as far as I know. Interferon Alpha is human injectable interferon diluted way down and given orally to cats. There were one or two places in the US selling it in the diluted form a couple of years ago, but I don’t know who sells it now. Interferon Omega is feline interferon and is available from the UK. At one time it was difficult to import, but supposedly pretty easy now. It is more expensive, I seem to remember a minimum order was around $400 some time ago. If your cat has kidney failure, that can cause anemia as the kidneys produce a substance called Ethropoietin which is needed to produce red blood cells. Sometimes using Epogen or a similar drug will aid this process in cats with kidney failure.

She seems doing fairly well today - she finished up almost a whole can for today's dinner! I brought up using ImmunoRegulin, Acemannan, Interferon Alpha etc. with our vet yesterday. She however concerned about the safety of using ImmunoRegulin as she learned some reactions after injection may occur earlier. But she is very willing to listen to other people's experience and work with us. Does anyone have experience of using ImmunoRegulin on your FeLV cat? have you observed any issues/side effects after injection? (if you have gone through treatment plan by using ImmunoRegulin with your vet, may I possibly know where your vet is based, off the list, so that my vet may learn from your vet's experience as well?) Again, thank you very much (reading the responses does make me feel that Meow and I are not alone in this battle) Catherine ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

[Felvtalk] article on stomatitis cure
Hi, I am trying to find a research article on a cure for stomatitis. I had a copy of this a couple of years ago, but lost it in a disk crash. The article was in German, but there was a summary in English. I can’t seem to find this anywhere. It was supposedly just one shot given just behind the back point of the jaw.
