Hi Gloria,
I would be very interested in knowing what dosage that vet uses for an
injection. Interferon comes in little vial with the lowest dose in a vial
being one million units and is usually 3 million units. These vials are
meant to be one injection for a human, but the oral dose for cats is only 30
units, I can't imagine how you would draw up an appropriate dose for a cat
without doing the same dilutions that are done for oral treatments.

Subject: [Felvtalk] interferon alpha injected?
One of the vets here told someone with an FELV cat, that she could use
interferon alpha as an injection. He didn't mention low dose ORAL
interferon alpha.
It's been my understanding that the interferon was absorbed in the back
of the throat.
Has anyone used interferon alpha as an injection rather than orally?
Thanks,
Gloria
