Re: Interferon questions - after some venting

[Lernermichelle]

I don't think interferon, or any other immune support drug, would aid the growth of lymphoma.    If you think he has a bad URI, I would try Immuno-Regulin, which really helps a lot with that. While they are at major risk of lymphoma, and I have lost 4 to lymphoma at differing ages, I have also thought many times that mine have had lymphoma when they have not (I am hoping I am having false worries now about Lucy, actually). Just ask Nina-- I think everything-- everything-- is lymphoma when it is happening, and very often it is something else that goes away with treatment or time.   Michelle   In a message dated 9/11/2006 7:05:45 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Thank you Tad and Nina for your quick responses.   I did read about Spencer's reaction to Interferon and as (I believe it was Michelle) pointed out last week FeLV+ cats are 600 times more likely to get Lymphoma, it makes me a little nervous, though Satch isn't showing signs of anything more than a cold, but I'd hate to help out the big, bad that lives under the bed.  From what I've heard though, it seems like Interferon is accepted to help more than hinder, if it does either.   I like your suggestion Tad of putting both on it.  Why would you stop at signs of a URI?  Just too much going on at that point?   Nina, how long has Spencer been in your mix?  When will you retest the others?   Thank you!
