I think the de Mari feline recombinant interferon omega study was done with symptomatic FeLV+ cats. I think. If I already had interferon omega and Ember was symptomatic, I would definitely try it. I know very little about what is suggested with LTCI (symptomatic vs. asymptomatic for treatment).

I highly recommend a chest x-ray. If you have a vet that does digital radiography, that would be even better, as it should have a higher resolution than the old-style film x-rays, and the vet can store it digitally and easily compare to future scans, should your kitty need them. On Nov 10, 2013
