I did not know oral interferon helps
stomatitis! My Noah,11, (negative) broke out with it again yesterday
:( He had it bad this past March as well, he's 11 years
old. I have plenty of IFN and will begin him on
it.
Thanks, Del

vet!
Hi Sue,
Thanks for sharing the story about the good
vet. We're bombarded with
negative human stories way too often, it's
nice to know there are plenty
of good ones out there too. When we
run across the vets or
organizations that recommend immediate pts upon
diagnosis, we should all
report back to them with our successes.
These people need to be
educated, (as frustrating as that is), in order to
save lives and
heartache in the future. Years ago, before felv
touched my life in such
a personal way, I was told by a trusted rescuer
that all Felv kitties
should be pts, (so they don't suffer agonizing
deaths). Now I know how
terribly wrong that is. I wish this
person and I hadn't lost touch so I
could share our stories of love and
hope with her.
Do tell Mary that the oral interferon has been known to
help mouth sores
and send her my blessings,
N
