You really should have a vet that will work with you with FeLV+...
Interferon is a basic immune booster that FeLV+ cats need anytime they
are fighting anything...
Imunor Regulan has been reported very successful with respiratory
problems...
But you do need a vet that will work with you on these things...

Hi, Leslie - I just had to go through this with one of my kitty's s- a
couple of things
You must make sure that a kitty is well hydrated all the time (per my
vet) - so giving a fluid might be necessary - at the same time, if
there is a lot of fluid you also may have to give him a bit of lasix
to get the fluid out from chest - and I used vaporizer with warm mist
to soften up mucus in the chest and in the nose.. etc.. I also used
antibiotics to get rid of any bacterial infection as well. I also used
neubolizer (sp) with certain drugs to open up the reparatory pipe so
that thing can come easier - and use a baby aspirator to get rid of
any mucus from the nose.. Sometimes, steroid is used to bring the
inflammation down - I have all the drug if needed - the main thing is
that their body has to be strong enough to fight it - and to get rid
of mucus and water in the chest.. So you might wan tot give extra
vitamins and any immune boosters and keep him warm all the time - I
also used FOI to fight against any viral infection as well. Hope it helps.

Subject: FeLV Kitten with Pneumonia
In our rescue we adopted out a kitten, who came back to us FeLV+.
When our volunteer went to pick him up, he had been kept outside and
now has pneumonia. He is a sweet little six month old orange tabby.
He's eating on his own, but breathing heavily and she said she can
hear that his chest is full.
Our vets are not "cool" with trying to maintain a FeLV kitty, so we're
flying blind on this one. Can anyone recommend a course of treatment
that has worked with their FeLV kitties for a severe infection?
Thanks,
Leslie =^..^=
