Re: Has anyone heard of this "new FELV drug" - is it real or fake?
Thank you! All who responded - I really appreciate it. Went to the felineleukemia.org web site and looked in the List archive after I posted, and found the thread about it. Should have looked there first. Neither of my Vets knows anything about it - but it looks like the Vet in Texas who is reputed to know about it is up near Dallas (we are near Houston). I will contact that Vet and see what we can work out. Thank you all again. I seldom write - someone who knows more has usually answered before I get to my mail - and anyway had somehow set myself no-mail on this List a few weeks ago (not intended).

RE: Has anyone heard of this "new FELV drug" - is it real or fake?
Andrew, I'm really new here with newly diagnosed FeLV+ foster cats but this treatment is real. It is expensive. My understanding is that it's by injection only and for the first month, weekly injections must be given and then monthly injections. It is only available in the US. I live in Canada (a few kilometers from the border) and will be getting it and starting it within a few weeks. My vet's working on it. I really, really hope it works!!

Re: Has anyone heard of this "new FELV drug" - is it real or fake?
Thanks Sally I've contacted the two vets that I use and neither of them had heard about it. They said they would look into it. MeMe is in such a good place right now, that I have been afraid to post about it. (superstitious) She is completely symptom free, with the exception of a slight irritation on her gum. It is just too good to be true. Her glands are normal, no sneezing, no runny nose, no diarrhea. Her appetite has been great and her energy is too. It has taken a year, but all the advise and support I have gotten from this list has made it possible. I don't take it for granted for a minute, but it is so fabulous to see her enjoying her life.

Re: Has anyone heard of this "new FELV drug" - is it real or fake?
Andrew I just read a post where someone was doing a study on imulan on FeLV+ cats and now for the life of me I can't find the post. Don't know if it was here or another group. That's the problem with being on so many cat boards. I know they wrote that they started out with weekly shots and are now doing monthly shots and each shot cost approx $50. I'll keep searching for that post.
