ME too. They really insisted we keep ours refrigerated. EVen made sure I was
coming the same day they thawed it for me.

I am not for sure, but I would toss it and replace.
That is just me, though.
I will ask someone tomrrow.
How long has it been w/o refrigeration?

Does anyone know if the interferon does any good if it is not refrigerated?

Hello all. I've been reading the message board for weeks after I came
across the sweetest abandoned white, fluffy kitten with one blue eye and one
amber eye. Since you know I found this message board, you can guess that when I
brought her to the vet she tested positive for felv with the ELISA test. After
receiving the crushing news, and not knowing a lot about the disease, my vet
encourgaed me to do research and to see if I could take care of her so we can
test her again in three months.
I have another 7 year old cat at home that is negative, so I've been
keeping them seaparted. At first it was hard, but I have a little routine down
now. I have learned so much in reading this message board and feel supported by
reading your stories and sharing in your expereinces. Thank you to everyone.
I'm actually finding this a little theraputic to finally write and find that
I'm kind of rambling, so let me focus.
I've been giving Grace daily medicine, liquid Interferon and powdered
L-Lysine. I was feeling really good about this until I realized that the
Interferon needs to be refrigerated. I feel foolish for even admitting that I
didn't put it in the refrigerator after I received it. After all, the
Interferon was delivered in the mail with an ice pack! I think I know the
answer, but have the weeks of administering the unrefrigerated Interferon been
pointless? I plan on calling my vet tomorrow to have her call in another
perscription for Grace. I guess since it's so late right now, I'm turning to
the board.
Thank you!
Laura
