Lisa, I know that VO is expensive, but if it truly boosts their immune system, it might even save veterinary costs. Trips to the vet for things like diagnostic work, blood transfusions, chemo, etc. are so much more expensive in the long run. I'm looking at it as a proactive way to hopefully avoid/extend what everyone on this list dreads, the onset of symptoms that become impossible to overcome. If it gives them a better quality of life, for a longer period of time, which it seems to be doing for my Grace, it's absolutely worth it to me. I'm sure list members can be found to share in the cost and split the VO once it gets here. You might speak to your vet about finding a patient(s) that would be interested. You could even call other vets in your area to see if there's someone treating FeLV or FIVs. If you don't get the approval process started, you won't have the option of trying VO when you need it. There are no guarantees with this disease, there are so many unknowns and dichotomies. Feline interferon was the only thing I discovered during my research that held a hope of a cure, everything else was about prevention, or treatment of symptoms as they arose. As everyone on this list knows, it's so hard to loose a furkid, VO is one of the things that helps me feel I'm doing everything I can to keep them strong and healthy. Much love to you and everyone, Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
