My take on Interferon was not that it is meant to be a specific treatment or "cure" for anything, just keep them alive by helping with their immune system. I have two on it, and they have been interferon for over 3 years. Mako is winding down, but he is also hyperthyroid, had feline triaditis, is anemic, and is prone to urinary blockage (struvite). He's also 15.

Gribble is currently (knocking on wood) asymptomatic.

I can't say that the interferon is responsible for their (relative) longevity, but it's the only thing they've been on consistently.

I did use Interferon for my Tigger. I also gave it 7 days on, 7 days off, for about 2 months. I did not notice any improvement from it at all. When I finally started the Winstrol (other name is Stanizolol) along with Prednisolone, we got a very marked improvement in his blood work. I have found out that there is strong evidence that Doxycyclene added to this treatment regimen can inhibit the duplication of the FeLV virus. Amani could explain this much better than me.

Has anyone used this Interferon before on an FELV cat?  I started Skylar on that.  he is not sick but since the IFA test was also positive, I wanted to give him a booster to his immune system so he will hopefully not get sick.  I heard it wasn’t as effective after 3 months use.  It’s 7 days on  and 7 days off.  We are in the 3rd series.  I am having blood work taken in 2 weeks.  His gums were very white so I hope he isn’t anemic.
