And if so, did it solve or significantly improve the problem? I read that it solved 60% of cases and the rest had varying degrees of improvement. Only 7% of cats showed no improvement whatsoever. Seeing as it's a big and costly operation I wondered if anyone had undergone it and could give me some feedback? Or if any vets could advise? My vet thinks it's a good idea and has one FIV+ patient who has undergone it with positive results but I've heard a couple of other opinions that it is too drastic.
The alternative would be cycles of antibiotics and feline interferon for life, and the latter also has its own hefty price tag. Not to mention the devastating effects of the antibiotics long term and the fact that over time he would build up resistance. The cat is otherwise in relatively good health so no underlying issues.
