Some more information I have:
 
    It is recommended to test blood parameters 14 days after the beginning of treatment, on Day 14.  If hematocrit (PCV) and/or RBC count are within physiological ranges, there is a high probability for the cat to be a "good responder" to interferon therapy.  In this case, it is recommended to administer the 2nd series of 5 injections on Day 14.  If hematological results are not satisfying on Day 14, the cat might be refractory to interferon therapy and treatment should be discussed.
 
    Treatment of cats infected with FelV and/or FIV with clinical symptoms.  Expected benefits can be numerous.  A quick improvement of quality of life can be observed as early as the first days after the beginning of administration (eg. general behaviour, appetite, grooming).  Quality of life can be improved whatever the virus responsible for the disease (FIV or FelV or both viruses).  Anemia can be improved in cats which are anemic at the start of treatment (it has been shown significant as early as 2 weeks after the start of treatment in a field study).
