Vetri-DMG for Onyx, and I am going to ask the more positive vet (when he gets
back from vacation) to give me the interferon as well. I am going to talk to
him about trying to make some sort of arrangement about
One of the vets who saw my FeLV+ catOnyx said I could give her interferon, that

told me there was nothing to do for her except to wait until she gets sick then
put her to sleep. One of them recommended re-homing my
Hi Avia! I am the other person you talked to. :) The Vetri-DMG was
given to Tommy by his holistic vet, along with the homeopathic

Also nice to know, about the Vetri-DMG. I'll have to try that.
I use interferon alpha. Have used it daily, some suggest using it 3
days on and 3 off; also 7 days on and 7 off is another protocol.
I believe that most healthy adult cats, vaccinated or not, have
immune systems that will
