Re: [Felvtalk] Interferon and retrovir
Margo, why did you decide against Retrovir/AZT.I still have two with feline
leuk, and am having a hard time dealing with the loss of Tiffany. I feel as if
the grief is overwhelming me. :.(

Retrovir is AZT.
No, I decided against that.
I do have immunoreglin in reserve...

Re: [Felvtalk] Interferon and retrovir
Margo I also had a go with the Immunoregulin – delivered from the States urgently, and again, my experience was that it didn’t budge Zander’s haematology counts one bit, despite giving it a number of months to demonstrate whether it was effective or not. However, as I mentioned in my previous post, I just discovered that four different viruses or subspecies can cause FeLV, so it is not surprising we get different results. Also, I understand that none of the tests differentiate between the different viruses.

Re: [Felvtalk] Interferon and retrovir
I'm unfamiliar with Retrovir, but both my boys have been on interferon since diagnosis. Don't know that it actually helps, but I'm sure not gonna stop it now!They're on 1 week on, 1 week off and the dose is .25mL of a 120 units per mL solution of Interferon Alpha (so the standard 30 units per cat, I just have them compound it my way ). Used to get in from Roadrunner, but now from Diamondback Pharmacy.I also gave them DMG for a couple of months, but I have slacked off. I do think it helped, and maybe it's time to pick it up again. When I see them feeling "off" the get a B-12 injection.HTH,Margo-Original Message- From: Roxanne Smith <rescuek9li...@sbcglobal.net> Sent: May 19, 2016 5:48 PM To: felvtalk <felvtalk@felineleukemia.org> Subject: [Felvtalk] Interferon and retrovir I may have asked this question before.

Re: [Felvtalk] Interferon and retrovir
I tried Zander on Interferon for a decent period of time - maybe 4 to 6 months - I can't remember exactly right now. His bloodwork didn't show any improvement, and in fact, the opposite. We watched as his values kept dropping after being bolstered by a blood transfusion. So my conclusion is that the Interferon did not stop the slide downwards as the effects of the blood transfusion obviously wore off. I didn't try the retrovir, and I don't have any direct knowledge about it.
