Hi everyone.  My vet and I have been talking about putting my asymptomatic FeLV + kitten, Nibbler, on Interferon.  However, she said the only kind she can get information on is the newer formula and it costs about $50 per month.  Also, since its so new she doesn't know how well it works.  Does a

Hooray for you and your vet! I think it's a good idea. We began losing our kittens at around 7 1/2 months old. We lost 4 littermates before they hit a year old-well, the last was exactly a year old. They were a feral litter and must have been born with the virus. We began Interferon when they we

Jeff, I would definitely start something whether it be interferon or the LTCI injections. They may not look sick when first diagnosed but they go downhill quickly and you feel helpless. There is some suggestion of thymic hypoplasia in these young cats with felv+. (the thymus is responsible for

I have a little 4.5 mo. old black kitten rescued as a stray who tests FeLV+ on a snap test. They won't do an IFA until he's been separated for three months (he lives in my bathroom currently), "9 mos. old would be better." My vet is recommending we put the kitten on Interferon *now,* that she ha

We all have different ways of dealing with these problems, but we care. Interferon, as I understand, isn't so much a 'drug' - it's a naturally occurring protein substance in the body. Overdosing on it is similar to OD'ing on a nutrient such as Vitamin A (or something like that). In human
