Re: Some More Virbagen Omega Info

I was told to give Lucy 5 mu at a time, which is a whole vial and would leave nothing over. She is almost 11 pounds. Nina, do you have some left over because Jazz or Grace weighs under 11 pounds and so gets less than 5 mu at a time?   Since Lucy appears not to need surgery, I am just holding on to the VO for now. We need to move in a few months and I may use it before the move.

Kyle, This is fantastic news!  Thanks so much for finding this out for us.  I was terrified of using "left-over" feline interferon, now it appears it's safe as long as adequate sterilization methods are used with the vials.  I'm so pleased, this means we can stretch the premeasured vials!  I haven't had time to explore the link you provided, but you can be sure I will.  I'm also going to forward it to my vet's office.  I'll also send it to my biochemist pal, Kate, and ask her to translate the last paragraph! Thanks Kyle, you're a gem! Nina
