I got mine from the Roadrunner. I did also asked around local pharmacies,
and in fact most human compounding pharmacies can dilute interferon alpha
2b for you as long as you tell them the strength you want.
For the interferon alpha 2a (the Referon-A) it has been discontinued in the
States, but you
Wow, that's a sad but amazing story, Karen. The compassion you have for those
cats is beautiful. Thanks to you and your family for doing what you're doing
for them.
The usual recommendation that I've seen is to wait three months after the
initial test, then give a second test, which you did. I
Sorry to hear of Bubba's woes, Beth. Sending good thoughts to both of you.
I'm sure he feels your love, and that helps!

Yes, I'm very lucky our shelter has access to a lot of meds. He is over the

Hi Beth,
All healing energies headed your way for Bubba.
Most URI's are viral, and the most common is herpes. Have you tried famciclovir? Has done wonders for my boys.
You're very lucky to have access to doxy, now that it is so expensive and
I've been wrestling with these thoughts a lot lately. I wrote to Marley Fund to
see if they'd ever advocated for trials, but it sounds like it's outside of
their mission. Maybe no one advocates for trials, but I was under the
impression that something like that was done for HIV/AIDS.

You and Bubba are in my thoughts, Beth. I hope he recovers soon!

Hi Lance,
I can't help with most of this, (wish I could) but I'm pretty comfortable with the rFeLV vaccine by Merial. I made my Vet miserable by insisting I had to have it for one cat, because I could not risk FISS/VAS with him, he's down to three legs already. Lon
Poor Bubba! I'm sorry he's having such a rough time, and a rude bite on the
tail to top it off. Hopefully he can clear the Hemobart and move on. I'll add
him to the purrayers list.
Best wishes to you and Bubba,
Lance

Lance,
I could totally get behind your Christmas Wish List. I rescued my first
FeLV+ kitten ten years ago. In that decade, there seems to be little to no
progress made in FeLV prevention and/or treatment. Instead, the
information I come across is more confusing than it was when I first heard

been battling a URI. Tried a couple different antibiotics, and finally, after a
week the URI cleared & he started eating on his own last Sunday. Well as soon
as I took him off the Doxy he started going down again.

Yeah, it does show that persistent infection isn't necessarily inevitable when
a cat is exposed and infected. It's sad that we don't know more about how often
regressive vs. persistent happens. There are a lot of things I think we need
with regard to information. For Christmas, I'd like some tan
I get Ember's interferon from Roadrunner, so they can.

$40 per month per cat? No way!!!I believe Wedgewood is where we've
gotten interferon alpha before, compounded so the dose per adult cat is 1
ml. It is good for 60 days. They sell different size bottles -- the more
you buy, the cheaper it is per dose. Calculate 30 ml per cat (one month's

What your vet suggested is what I would suggest & what we do at the shelter.
You would do an IFA only if they test positive on the in-house SNAP test. The
IFA would tell you if the virus cannot be thrown off.

Hi Lance,
Thanks! I don't know if I have that or not, but it sounds interesting . And it does give me some hope.
All the best,

Hi Karen,
How long ago was the suspected exposure, and how did it happen? In house testing is usually an Elisa.
There's a chart on the FeLV.org site, but it is titled "Sick Cat Chart". My thought is that some of yours are not showing any symptoms?
I'm not sure about this, but I *think* this might be what's called regressive
infection. It's not as bad as it sounds. This is a "new" way of looking at cats
we used to think threw off the virus. The paper "2008 AAFP Retrovirus
Guidelines" puts it this way:
Regressive infection is accompanied b
I had my 5 cats tested for feline leukemia when believed to be exposed. First
test 4 tested positive and yesterday (90 days later) all 5 tested negative. my
vet said retest in 45 days and see what we get. If two test with same
diagnosis then that is the results. Has anyone ever had this and/
Hi Kasia,
I thought this was going to be simple. I would tell you to have the Vet prescribe a single dose of Roferon A, you could get it at any pharmacy, and it's very easy (but tedious) to dilute. I did it years ago, and had enough for an army.
