[Felvtalk] Question about Interferon

[brenda_osbourne]

Many of you have said that you are using interferon to treat your FeLV cats and 
I'm trying to decide if we should start Eden on this as well. Nobody has 
mentioned any side effects from the treatment but I work with cancer patients 
and I've seen many patients treated with interferon and it is not well 
tolerated at all. In fact it is a treatment that is plagued with many serious 
side effects and in many cases the side effects are much worse then the 
symptoms of the patient's actual disease. So I'm wondering if the cats being 
treated are experiencing side effects or if the dose is so low in cats that the 
side effects aren't a problem. 
 
Thanks,
Brenda
