I've never had a cat that had a problem with interferon - but I'm
assuming you mean interferon alpha, not omega (which I've never
used). I used daily interferon (1cc)
Another protocol is 3 days on, 3 off, as well as the one you used, 7
days on and 7 off.
Tally used to be on this list, and I used her web site for interferon

Hi Brenda,
At this time my kitten is tolerating the interferon. It is my
understanding
from my vet that some cats do have side effects with the
interferon. When
we put Kelsea on the interferon it was the right thing to do, she
was very
sick kitten. I have to say I am very glad I did. I'm not sure if I
mention
in pass emails that Kelsea is on the interferon for 7 days then off
for the
next 7 days, she only get 1 cc at night.
Let me know what you decide to do. My thoughts are with you and Eden.

Many of you have said that you are using interferon to treat your

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
