Andrew,
I'm really new here with newly diagnosed FeLV+ foster cats but this treatment
is real. It is expensive. My understanding is that it's by injection only and
for the first month, weekly injections must be given and then monthly
injections. It is only available in the US. I live in Canada (a few kilometers
from the border) and will be getting it and starting it within a few weeks. My
vet's working on it. I really, really hope it works!!
