I should add that he was one that initially recommended PTS when the
test was pos...
When I said I can't do that he was quick to talk about keeping them...
They are special needs cats and a good vet needs to know that the
caretaker is ready
for that...

Probably close to 4 years ago I mentioned interferon to my vet...
He had never worked with an FeLV+ cat before...
He had used it with cows before and it was given IV to them...
He grabbed his medical book and there were words in there about
giving it both ways to cats but he decided that with the smaller
animal
oral was preferred....
My vet has been in practice for 30 years but he is still willing
to learn
an he pays attention when I hear of something new on hear... There may
be better vets in the world but I doubt if there is any that will
meet me
himself in the middle of the night in 10 minutes... That's worth a
lot when
finding a vet as well as one that is willing to work with FeLV....

Well, Megan, I could be the one who is wrong.
I have just never heard of Interferon "shots", just oral.
Someone will be "popping in" to let us know,there is LOTS of great
experience on this list......

Apparently my vet doesn't know what he's talking about... That kind of
scares
me. I think shots may exist, but he told me they'd have to be given every so
often and then every single day.
My other two cats, who were vaccinated today, keep randomly yowling. I have
no
idea why...

Sorry, I have never heard of interferon "injections", ONLY oral.
Have I missed something all these years.......?
