I am using immuno regulin and Alferon, ( natural interferon) I am not using the Acemamman. My felv kitty has been asymptomatic and these are basically prophylactic treatments, I do know the pred ( and I would probably use the prednisolone) doe help the rbs destruction, depending upon the cause. I used the I.R per protocol initially IV and am now doing .5cc IM q month like they are doing for the FELV cats in the FELV area at Best Friends.

Offered as information
This was in response to my inquiry about treating with immunoreglin

>>>Re: immunoreglin ~ most of the FeLV eexperts feel that it has not been shown to have any positive benefit for cats with FeLV. Examples:

"My hospital was involved in a nationwide testing of Immunoregulin. The clinical trial was cancelled midway thru the trial because their own clinical staff said things were not looking positive. Immunoregulin is IV, and we used it at 0.5cc once a week. You have to shake the bottle really well to mix thoroughly. There isn't really any downside to it, but it will not help any more than interferon or staph lysate. Your patient needs steroids to help prevent the RBC destruction."

"In the interim between posting my question and reading your reply, our little cat became acutely febrile (106.3) and was hospitalized overnight on fluids, antibiotics and Interferon. She kicked her fever within 24 hours, and is now home on daily cefadrops with Interferon. We are also going to try Immunoreglin and Acemannan with this little peanut...Do you have any experience with Immunoreglin or Acemannan?"

>>> Do you have any experience with Immunoreglin or Acemannan? <<< "Neither have been shown to have any demonstrable benefit in controlled studies."
