Re: Alpha interferon for Hannibal?? for URIs
If I understand right. Interferon is a booster for the part of the natural immune system that fights yirouses..which URI is So it will probably work well... The side effect is that the body may become dependent on the interferon to maintain normal strength... That's why the usually do a week on and a week off to prevent the dependency Thus the question... when to use or when to save it for when its really needed My vet was one that wanted to save it but then we learned that FeLV+ cats can go from not acting quit normal to crashed in such a short time that I now have it in my house and his blessing at using it when ever I feel its necessary It almost always quality life.. Sometimes for only a few days and others much longer... Tad Hideyo Yamamoto wrote: Has anyone used Interferon for URIs treatment for your kitties?

Re: Alpha interferon for Hannibal?? for URIs
Hideyo, I haven't used Interferon A specifically for URIs, but it seems to me that since it's suppose to be an immune booster, it should help. I'd be very interested to hear if anyone has had success using it for URIs too. Tad wrote that he heard the pulse method protocol is used to prevent the body from becoming dependent. I hadn't heard that, I'd heard that it simply loses it's effectiveness because it's derived from human DNA rather than feline. That has been my understanding why the feline interferon omega is more effective long term. I've been trying to call you to talk about Hannibal. I know you don't get posts at home, so you won't get this until Monday. How's Hannibal doing? Nina Hideyo Yamamoto wrote: Has anyone used Interferon for URIs treatment for your kitties?
