I have not used immunoregulin personally, I am a supporter of FOI -- I think the trick to use FOI is to use it BEFORE the kitty gets really sick. I have been using for Felk, FIV and FIP kitties - I have seen good evidance of reducing activity of virus as it acts as anti vial agents. it never h

Jane, I got in touch with Dr. Thomas last fall regarding ImmunoRegulin and FeLV+ cats. In a nutshell, she said that she is still enthusiastic about ImmunoRegulin for FELV+ cats. She emphasized that, while IR is not a miracle drug, she's seen it help in many cases. Lance On Jun 20, 2007

Hi Jane, There are others here with more information on interferon. I have used immunoregulin and feel that it was helpful. My cat is also on immune boosters, Transfer Factor and Manapol. He went through a rough time last fall and I was not sure I was doing the right thing. However he is stable n

I'm so sorry Victor didn't make it. It does take a big heart to take in kitties who have odds against them for living long lives. I think though, that these kitties are a little more sweet and loving than average, because they know that each day is precious. Cassandra - Original Message

I agree, Melissa. Someone who hates cats would not get my business. He shouldn't even be a vet. Yet there are many reports of vets who abuse the animals in their care. You have to be soo careful. I try not to let the vet take my cat 'to the back' for any procedure except surgery.
