FIV: At the same time, the cat was given feline omega interferon according to the following
protocol: subcutaneous injections at a dose rate of one million units per kilogram bodyweight (1 MU/kg b.w.) per day for 5 consecutive days on D0, D1, D2, D3, D4, repeated on D14 (i.e. 2 weeks after the start of treatment), D15, D16, D17, D18, then repeated on D60 (2 months after treatment), D61, D62, D63, D64. The case describes an adult cat infected with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus in the clinical phase, presenting with the classical symptoms of stomatitis and anaemia. The progression of the case outlines the relevance of feline omega interferon in the therapeutic management. Therapy consisted of a 5-day course of 1 MU/kg/day administered subcutaneously and combined with symptomatic treatment. The animal's quality of life improved markedly.
