Susan,
There is not much that the vet can do about the swollen glands.
It just means that she is fighting off something.
I would go ahead and start her on the interferon now if possible.
The Lysine will help boost her immune system,as well as a product called
"MIssing Link".
Get the Professional Strength from the vet which has a detox factor in it.
You are already feeding her high quality food, but I sprinkle a bit of
nutrional yeast on my babies' dry food,felv+ and felv- both.
Thank you for taking in a "special needs" kitten............ :)

Subject: Swollen Glands?
Hi there,
thank you to everyone who's posted info for us. I've been reading the
archives, but it's a lot of material to work through. Autumn has only tested
positive on the ELISA test so far. she goes back in 6 mos for a second round of
testing. At that point we will redo the ELISA and send off for the IFA. Her
vet didn't give me much hope for her throwing the virus. She said 15% chance.
Since that seemed so slight, I wanted to go ahead and get Autumn in as good a
position as I can for good health. If I put her on Interferon A, should I wait
until after the second test? Autumn has been sleeping a lot the last couple of
days and it feels like her glands might be swollen under her jaw. When she's
awake she's bright eyed and runs around a lot - Should I take her to the vet
for her glands? She had her other vaccinations last week. She seemed to run a
fever after the shots, but she was very energetic all weekend. We just want to
do what's best for her.
