We have a 13 year old female cat with lymphoma Will transfer factor help her? She is currently on 2.5mg prednisone every other day. Initially, she lost a lot of weight to begin with - lymphoma was diagnosed from blood tests and biopsy taken during operation to remove 6 inches of inflamed intestines with nodes. We are currently feeding her on organic chicken and fresh fish - she'll only eat it cooked! There has been a huge improvement just from this. Our vet knows nothing on TF and I don't want to find TF makes her worse if used with prednisone.
Hi Catherine,
Transfer Factor will only help. There are no negative side effects and no contraindications. Since prednisone depresses the immune system it makes since to use Transfer Factor to enhance the immune cells that are left.
We would use Transfer Factor Stress Pack at 2 teaspoons twice daily. While you can mix it with food or water you will likely have to mix some or all of it into a paste and syringe it into her mouth.
