Dear Caroline, Belinda, Diane, and Michele,
Thanks so much for sharing and for your kindness. It's very helpful
and comforting to hear from people what have been through something
similar and/or who truly care.
I know there are no easy answers as to the best thing to do or not to
do. My Emma
I'm so sorry - I agree, I have little faith in chemo for cats. And
this is such a personal decision to make. There is some chemo that
has helped in situations I've had with lymphoma cats, but it seems to
be in shrinking lymph nodes temporarily. I've had fluid drawn out of
chest areas als
Thank you, Gloria.I think what's adding to the fact that I have
little faith in the Veterinary community is the fact that it seems as
though many veterinarians don't know a whole lot about FeLV. It's
difficult because I expect to be able to turn to the Veterinarians so I
can get accurate
Yup, I remember using Prednisone too - and it did help. I'm not sure,
but I think it not only suppresses symptoms, but suppresses the
inflammation, so guess less fluid collecting in the chest area (or
whereever).

I really understand what you are going through and how difficult it
is to
make decisions with your head while your heart is punctured.
I think of the line in the poem by I Townsend that reads

Gloria (thank you) sent me some great information about Interferon
that someone
called Tally put together for this list a few years ago.
My vet has read it and is learning from Tally and any information I
can give her.
Is anyone using it now? The instructions are contradictory. One piece
is
Well the "rumor" I recall is that it is absorbed in the back of the
throat, so if you give it alone it heightens the possibility of that
happening. I don't have any sources to document it, however, and it
may or may not be true. But I always give it with a syringe not
mixed with food. I thin

They gave me a choice of flavors, so I am hoping marshmallow will do
it. Her mouth is inflamed
so it is difficult to open it to squirt something in.
The lab my vet used is charging 70.00 for a 30 day supply. (25.00 of
that is overnight frio packing)
Does that seem right to you? I'm doing 30 (ml

I didn't realize Interferon could be given orally. The interferon we had
for BooBoo was given subcutaneously. My vet called into my pharmacy and
they got it for me. As I remember it was a lot less expensive than I
thought it would be and the amount we got would have lasted a lot longer
than
We've been using interferon with our two FeLV positive kitties for over a year
now. Our vet said I could give it by mixing it into food, but usually we
administer the required dosage in a needless syringe and the kitties just
swallow it. (I want to be sure they get all their dose.) So far, b
I think what I use is 30 units daily. Mine has no flavoring, but
marshmallow sounds fine to me!
I started getting mine from a very rescue friendly vet who charges
$15 - gives me about a 90 day supply. If you call around, or ask
rescue people, you might find a cheaper price.

Sorry, thought I sent it to the list, guess not. Tally used to be on
this list (maybe 2001?). Guess that's when I got on this
list. Anyhow - This is her info on her web
site: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pointe/9352/interferon.html
Interferon used in this way, Lynne, is "oral low dose

I'm convinced that cats that have this disease are very special little
creatures. I no longer have a positive cat but the girl we have now was a
rescued cat, seized from this horrible pet store owner. She was lucky in
the sense that she was taken in by a rescue group and spent 2 months being
