RE: Urgent Help - Virbigen Omega Interferon
Title: Message Hideyo, I'm sorry to hear you're so worried about Naomi. I really pray that this is something she gets over. What does the vet say about her weight? Are you able to finger-feed her? (Sorry if you've already been asked and answered these Qs).

Re "i hate FIP more than FeLV, even, because you can't predict it, you can't prevent it, and in most cases, you can't really treat it "I hate it too, for these same reasons. It leaves me powerless to make a difference. I have had losses over the past two years, so far (and may it so remain) only in foster kittens under one year and even at that only in a tiny percentage of the ones who pass through my doors. But each one breaks me a little more. And I always worry, if someone sleeps too much or doesn't eat enough or I see any little "off" thing. It does appear that for a cat to develop FIP after exposure to the corona virus, there much be some genetic predisposition. I suspect this is why the incidence of FIP is so much higher in some commercial breeding catteries. TenHouseCats [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:hideyo,my understanding is thatcorona viruses are contagious, and very common (i've seen statistics ranging from 85-95% of cats in a multi-cat environment will show a positive corona-virus titre--and that almost as high a percentage of humans will show the same thing!). however, the most recent thinking is that FIP comes not from the common corona virii themselves, but from a MUTATION of the common virus. the mutation is not contagious--and so far they don't really know what causes thevirus to mutate, nor no way to predict if any specific cat's corona-virus exposure might result in such a mutation. i know that the feline genome project is providing evidence of a genetic predisposition to the mutation occurring, which may be why there was an initial belief that FIP was infectious in and of itself. at the sanctuary, in the special-needs section where there were no FIVs or FeLVs, but lots of cats with non-immune-supressive problems, the only cats we lost to FIP were, indeed, a mom and two adult children (!) who had survived distemper contracted when the kittens were two months old. the other two kittens, bothwithCH from the distemper,never developed FIP. i hate FIP more than FeLV, even, because you can't predict it, you can't prevent it, and in most cases, you can't really treat it -- MaryChristineAIM / YAHOO: TenHouseCatsMSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ICQ: 289856892

Hi, Does anyone have VO Interferon that I can buy from?

RE: Urgent Help - Virbigen Omega Interferon
Take a few deep breaths. You may be jumping to conclusions here. There are a lot of possible explanations. Try supplemental feedings -- syringe-feed KMR, feline AD canned, that sort of thing. Get Transfer Factor feline formula in her too.Why do you say you have a lot of corona positive cats?

RE: Urgent Help - Virbigen Omega Interferon
Yeah.. I used to test it on every single cats that I rescued.. they are all tested positive.. not everyone is high..but some are pretty high.. but none of them had FIP.. as they are adults and pretty healthy.. but many of my cats are from the same colony.. so they all tested positive.. but then, I stopped testing.. I did not see any points anymore.. I have been giving TF actually,, and syringe feed her every day and she hates it.. I give Vitamin injection also.. I am planning to take her to a different vet to see if she can draw blood from her.. Susan, I am just so scared.. but I just know that something is definitely wrong with her..

RE: Urgent Help - Virbigen Omega Interferon
Don't assume it's FIP. I've had cats who worried me so, cats I was SURE were going to develop FIP, grow up and do well. And I have had cats who seemed so healthy and well, who developed normally, might even have been the biggest in the litter, break mwith FIP months after they were adopted. Relax. If it is FIP there's really not much you can do. Feline interferon works infrequently. And this may not be FIP at all.What's in the vitamin injection? Any chance that you're overloading her system and stressing her? TF is a really complete vitamin supplement in and of itself.Hideyo Yamamoto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Yeah..
