What we used to do when we worked w/interferon, is we would get the interferon @ 100% dosage and "inject" it into a 500cc bag of sterile water.
The bag could be kept in the refrigerator then, and whatever dosage that you needed could be drawn out w/ a syringe. The sharp was then removed from the syringe,then mixture was orally administered into the cats' mouth. It depends on how it is "mixed" as to if you say, give them .5 or 1cc.etc....... I do know that interferon has really gone up in price, I was asking a friend who has access to it (she is a nurse who also does cat rescue) about some. Susan J.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Megan. I haven't read all your other replies, but will try to keep this short. This is what I would do. First, these cats are siblings and have been together a while with plenty of opportunity to share diseases, so why separate them now? I'd keep the cats together. Second, I'm a proponent of daily oral interferon, and with cats under a certain age (3-4), I'd give the FELV cat anywhere from half a cc or 1cc daily of interferon alpha. Note this is squirted into their MOUTH, not an injection.The price varies - one vet charged me $75 for a small bottle, but I found another who charged $15 for a large bottle (like bigger than a quart). You can freeze it in small containers and get it out as you need to. Oral Interferon used in this way boosts the immune system. BTW, Some people also use temporary interferon orally for cats with the sneezes - upper respiratory - and other situations. Not sure what the injections are about - I'd just do the oral interferon apha. Best of luck - and this list is the right place to be! You'll get lots of alternatives and lots of support.
