I do daily interferon. I'm told that for FELV cats, one theory is
that they don't produce enough interferon. So doesn't make sense to
do the on and off.
Just what I've heard and practiced, there's so much that we really
don't know about FELV.

Hi again,
I met with my vet and she put Loca on interferon, vitamin C and
vitamin E. My neighbor who works at a vet clinic was able to point
me to where I could buy the interferon and I got it today. Reading
the document wendy sent me it sounds like I should be giving her 30
IU a day. The bottle says 30 IU per ml, so that should be easy to
figure out. Unfortunately, she is a tough one to give medicine to.
I know the idea is for it to absorb into the membranes of her mouth
an throat. Does anyone have tips on the best way to do this?
I have also read that some people give the interferon continuously
and others do 7 days on, 7 days off. Any opinions on what I should
do? Loca is about 5 months, I just found out she tested positive
for FeLV, but she is not showing any symptoms at this point.
Thanks.
