I did use Interferon for my Tigger. I also gave it 7 days on, 7 days off, for about 2 months. I did not notice any improvement from it at all. When I finally started the Winstrol (other name is Stanizolol) along with Prednisolone, we got a very marked improvement in his blood work. I have found

As long as he is eating, that is good news, but I agree with you that you want to get in front of any looming anemia, and the Winstrol does a good job of that in many cases. Amani From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Armstrong-Brown, Sheila DDS Timonium

I usually use it in pill form - 1 mg 2x a day, though some vets get it in liquid form. Winstrol is also known as Stanazolol. Warning: you are new to this group so you may not know of the extreme difficulty most people face when trying to get this stuff because it is linked with sports doping

Sheila I haven't had any effect from using Interferon on a FeLV cat, but others in this group have. However, if Skyler's gums are white, it sounds very much like he is anemic. If the Interferon isn't helping, I suggest a Winstrol/Prednisolone/Doxycycline regime. Amani From: Felvtalk

Robert I can't even begin to hypothesize why cats seem to like "fast food" chicken. I found that the KFC is really aromatic, so it encourages my sick cats to eat when they aren’t feeling well. With the first cat I used it with (who had pancreatic cancer), she had no appetite. I would cut up

Has anyone used this Interferon before on an FELV cat? I started Skylar on that. he is not sick but since the IFA test was also positive, I wanted to give him a booster to his immune system so he will hopefully not get sick. I heard it wasn't as effective after 3 months use. It's 7 days on
