Deirdre interferon - advice needed

I want to thank everyone who responded here. It appears that human interferon dies when it's hot and everyone charges $20-28 for special over night cold pack shipping. So I paid $50 for 60mls of interferon. The interferon itself only cost $28, but the shipping was $22. After 4 days on it, her l

Re:Adri is dead

I'm so sorry about Adri. I know how you feel. I lost my Simba last September, not to FELV+ but to another disease. They are with us only a short time, whatever their diagnosis and losing them is a killer. The pain lesses and you get to feeling better eventually. I know that's hard to picture ri

Human interferon - Where can I purchase it?

Hi, I know that some of you use human interferon (orally administered) for your FELV+ cats. Although Deirdre, my FELV+ cat, is healthy, I do want to start her on interferon. I called Island Rx and they have it, but a 90 day supply costing some $23 also costs $28 more simply to ship it. That's

Re: Deirdre has swollen glands under her jaw

Okay. Any ideas on how long she should remain on the meds? I understood that with an FELV+ cat, you should stay on meds for quite a while longer than - cats. After i had mono, the lymph nodes in my neck stayed enlarged for a long time and I can still feel one of them, 16 years later. So it mig

RE: OT: need advise again

I had 4 corona virus+ cats. They all lived long and normal lives and never developed FIP, so I think you should stop worrying quite so much about all of that. Every once in a while, for no apparent reason, one of them would get far too quiet and stop eating. After trying many other treatments,

I'm new and green.I've rescued and am caring for Deirdre (FELV+)

I'd be grateful for any and all suggestions you have for diet, vitamins, and care for Deirdre. I fed her outside and created a shelter for her in my shed for 1 year when she first appeared under my evergreen tree eating birdseed. She was about 6 months old then. I trapped her this January 1st and h
