more about interferon side effects
Please see this link:
http://www.petplace.com/drug-library...n-a/page1.aspx Here it lists liver damage and nervous system damage, in addition to other side effects mentioned in the previous thread, such as loss of appetite and throwing up, as possible side effects. My vet saw the cat again two days ago. At that time I told him about having waited a week to start the interferon, and about my concern about side effects. He told me that he had never seen side effects from interferon. We are now in the week off from interferon, after the first week on it. Next Monday, the day before interferon is to start again, the cat is to be neutered. I will bring him home the next day, when the interferon is to start again. The vet seems to think that the interferon may help with any weaknesses that the cat, having leukemia, might have aggrivated by the neutering. He recommended timing the neutering so that it would be followed by a week back on interferon. Does any of this make sense to those of you who are serious? |

This is the first time one of my cats has been prescribed something to be taken indefinitely, for as long as the cat lives. Naturally I care about side effects. How can you fault me for that? I have given a link which states that possible side effects are liver damage nervous system damage loss of appetite vomiting I will be giving the cat interferon for the second week, starting tuesday, after a week off. But after that, unless someone can give me good reason to ignore the four warnings listed above, the interferon will be stopped. If 'Phil P' thinks those specific warnings should be ignored, then let him tell me why. It doesn't help for you and 'cybercat' to barge into this thread with nothing to offer except name-calling, which doesn't have any effect on me anyway. Here is the link again: http://www.petplace.com/drug-library...n-a/page1.aspx If you're serious, and not just a hostile name-caller, then please read what it says under 'Precautions and Side Effects'. |

Have you read the side effects of the medication your doctor gives you? WHY WOULD YOU EVER TAKE THAT MEDICINE? You've been told by experts that this is the right thing to do for your cat, in your cat's situation. Now what the **** do you want from us? |

I want the others to explain why it is wise to give a cat never-ending medication that may cause these side effects: liver damage nervous system damage loss of appetite vomiting anemia AIN'T going to happen it is called the WWW aka internet aka a free posting forum I have been here a lot longer than you have ever thought about using the internet and I have helped more people with their pets both in real life, rescues and this forum than you can even thinking of every recalling in your life. So again I understand asking questions. It is a scary thing to have a person, friend, family member or pet go through long term problems. But THEY HAVE EXPLAINED BUT YOU ARE NOT LISTENING. STAY THE "F" off the internet blogs and if you have questions that your vet is not explaining to you or that you can't get from the forum. CALL ANOTHER VET FOR A SECOND OPINION. Every medication that is on the market can have dangerous side effect from simple aspirin to herb supplements to the new experimental drugs. Why anyone would do what you ask is to save the animal. To at least give them a fighting chance. One of my cats has epilepsy. He is allergic to pentobarbital the common given medication. He had to go on diazepam one of the side effects is possible liver and kidney damage. He has been off of it for years and been seizure free for years. My option put him to sleep or give him the medication and keep him around living a good life for many years to come. AGAIN HONESTLY WHAT DO YOU WANT. No one is going to get on a plane come to you and hold your hand. Phil has listed so much information for you which I bet you have looked up on the www have you discussed it with your vet. If so and you still have questions CALL ANOTHER VET. That would be 3 plus people telling you what to do. You may not like what me or cyber has to say but welcome to Real life. If I was to come there I would drag you down to the vets office and make him write it all out for you. Show the vet all of the info provide by our resident helpers. Ask him if this was true. If you still had issues. Than drag you to another vet for a second physical opinion; third plus opinion and make them write it down for you again. If there was a difference of agreement I would find a third vet. We do it when we have problems. Is this so hard or do I need crayons and a etch-a-sketch |
