Lynne, I know what you mean about the vets - my vet acted like she thinks I'm a pain for even asking about preventative measures. And it has always seemed like they considered dogs to be more importent. WE know better. What is the Factor One and what is it suppose to do? Buzz is still pretty healthy and I would sure like to keep him that way. He worries me when he pants when he plays, though. Sue

My vet has now told me that interferon will not help BooBoo as it is too late. I've decided that I will do what I can within reason to help BooBoo keep comfortable. I've had to stop the Doxycycline because it is too stressful for him. Perhaps we can restart it next week if he's better or if the culture comes back suggesting another antibiotic I'll try that. Our vet is a really nice guy but is not encouraging and it seems like now he does not want to do anything unless we tell him what to do. He's concerned I suppose about the expense of all this treatment and the inevitable results. Good luck with the Holistic vet. Around here this disease seems like something that has not interested a lot of vets and they just euthanize, which is shameful. Also, a lot of vets seem to be more interested in dogs than cats, probably because there are so many feral cats around and they are causing problems.

When I questioned my regular vet about Immuno-Regulin and Interferon she said she had not heard of much success with those things and said I might want to consider a Holistic Vet. I e-mailed one and asked if they could do anything for a FeLV+ cat that would be peventative and might help them throw the virus. It is quite a distance from my home and I don't want to put Buzz through the stress of the trip if it won't do him any good. > Sue >
