I-R, in my experience, is way way way more effective than Interferon in
getting rid of colds. If that is what Satch has, and he just can't kick
it, I would very much recommend I-R over Interferon. I have tried both multiple
times.
One of my cats, Ginger, did get temporary side effects from I-R, and they
were quite scary. Basically her fever went up a lot for about a half hour or
so-- up to 106 I think-- and she got chills. This happened both times I gave it
to her. But when the fever came down a half hour later she was much better than
before, and a cold that was keeping her from eating and had not responded to
antibiotics went away completely after two I-R shots 3 days apart. I used
I-R with another cat, Patches, who did not have any side effects. Others on the
list have used it successfully with no side effects as well, and the shelter
where my cats came from uses it all the time and none of the cats have had the
side effects. I think they are rare. At any rate, they are very temporary.
I did not like them, but I was very glad I gave Ginger the I-R because she got
so much better right after the second dose and nothing else was working. I think
the fever showed that the I-R really did stimulate her immune system to kick in.
Something else to think about-- I gave Ginger (and Patches) 1 ml each
time. The recommended dose is actually 1/2 to 1 ml, which I did not
realize at the time (was going by the recommended dose in the article on the www.felineleukemia.org web page) and
probably should have given her 1/2 ml at least the first time to see if she had
any side effects. I would start with 1/2 ml not 1 ml.
Hope this helps,
Michelle
