I'm unfamiliar with Retrovir, but both my boys have been on interferon since diagnosis. Don't know that it actually helps, but I'm sure not gonna stop it now!They're on 1 week on, 1 week off and the dose is .25mL of a 120 units per mL solution of Interferon Alpha (so the standard 30 units per cat,

Re: [Felvtalk] Interferon and retrovir

I tried Zander on Interferon for a decent period of time - maybe 4 to 6 months - I can't remember exactly right now. His bloodwork didn't show any improvement, and in fact, the opposite. We watched as his values kept dropping after being bolstered by a blood transfusion. So my conclusion is

Hi Bob - if you are ever in a situation where you really need to administer something to your cat and don't want to lose all your skin, just use a heavy bath towel folded in half and wrap it around the cat while he/she is sitting on a chair. Put it around him like he is in the barber chair -

Hi Robert The Winstrol isn’t really weight based. For cats, I would suggest starting at a higher dose of 2 mg/day and see what response you are getting in a week or two. I would leave them at 2 mg a day until you are satisfied with their progress and you feel they have turned a corner. If you
