Margaret, a PS to Michelle's email--
Revival's tel no is 800 786 4751.
While I sadly did not order the Immuno regulin in time to be
able to use it, the Revival people were good to deal with and the IR
arrived at both vet clinics that I had it sent directly to when it was
supposed to (ie overnighted by Fedex). I had never ordered it before
and neither vet had ever used it but they were both very positive about
doing so and liaised with me about the protocol/how much to use---it
comes with directions in any case (although I haven't seen those
because it's at the clinics).
At least I now have it on hand should Mickey (or the NJ
FeLV kitty I will be getting soon) need it.
Here's also a copy of the relevant excerpts of what I emailed to
Dr Dodin who was going to be administering the IR--there's some info
you may find useful, Margaret.
Good luck. I'm sending positive healing vibes for your sweet
Misty.

Dear Dr Dodin
Here are the 3 articles that give background on
Immunoregulin for FeLV cats.
(It is given by IV.) I placed an order with
Revival Animal Health this morning for 5ml of ImmunoregulinEqstim, and
it will be shipped today, overnighted to Abell, marked for your
attention, so should be there tomorrow (Wednesday). It will come in a
"Polar" box, and will need refrigeration when it arrives.
(They said a cat of 8lb is administered between
0.25 and 0.5 ml each time.)
There appear to be 2 possible protocols--4 times
in first 2 weeks, then once a week till stabilized, then monthly
recommended thereafter for maintenance; OR once a week. Please let me
know what you think is best for Flavia once you've had a chance to
consider.
THE ARTICLES:
The site below is worth looking at too--an email
from a web list member, Kyle, who had researched and used it.
Many thanks again,
Kerry M.
