I run a FeLV sanctuary here in the states and have found that the
best treatment is love and attention. Having spent almost a year on
interferon, I know the side effects of it very well, and would not
wish them on any living being.( human or feline).
spend time with them, show them that you really care about them
when no one else did. Let them spend hours in your lap, sleep on
the bed, sun in the window just as any other healthy cat would do.
just so you know Esther, my oldest cat here is about 16 and has had
FeLV since birth, the rest are all about 3-6 yrs old and doing well

Subject: [Felvtalk] Xana, FelV positive - interferon?
I am new to this group. I live in Spain and have some language
difficults, so, sorry for the faults.
I am an active member of a cat rescue group. In july I found a
kitten in the street with the eyes seriously dammaged. We went to
the vet and all was well, excep the positive result to FelV. A
friend on mine is fostering her. She seems to be healthy and hapy. I
want to give her an opportunity to live with good QOL as long as
possible.
Unfortunately most vets does not share my opinion, and they think it
is not worth.
I insist... I read all I can find.
I am giving Xana
L-Lysina (for her eye condicion)
Vetinmune (as inmunomodulator)
And I insist to put her on interferon. The vet said that -in that
subclinic stadium- the alfa (humane) interferon is the election
treatment. When symtoms appear, then it will be the moment to give
the omega interferon...
My questions are:
1) HAVE ANYONE EXPERIENCE IN THE USE OF FELINE OMEGA INTERFERON WITH
ASYMPTOMATIC CATS?? I know it can not clear the virus, but ... Can
it to prevent the development of any of the illness related with
FelV??
2) About propiobacterium acnes. I cant find it in Spain. The
laboratory does not produce it anymore, and change it for a new
product: Corynebacterium parvum (inmufort complex (R). It is used
for cows. A colegue (that has a FelV shelter) wrote me to advice she
is using it in her 8 FelV+ cats... she said is working well... her
oldest cat is now 8 years old.
3) Xana has also chronic diarrhea, in spite I put her on intestinal
diet, does no make solid faeces...
Any other non invasive tratment can be usefull???
Thanks for your atention
Esther
