Re: Pekoe & Digby - Update

Marlene, I'm going to ask my vet about compounding the Dox into a liquid, thanks.  I'm so thrilled that you have a vet that's almost as invested in FeLV as we are!  Fantastic.  I may just move to Canada!  Please keep us posted on any words of wisdom you recieve from your vet.  Would she be interested in doing studies concerning FeLV?
