Re: [Felvtalk] Ruthie Update

[Margo]

There are no guarantees, but here is much hope. Stay on top of any "off" days, especially :) I get my interferon from Roadrunner Pharmacy;. https://www.roadrunnerpharmacy.com/ I get 20 mls of 120 unit per ml interferon alpha-B for about $45. That's 80 doses. This is for two cats. Dosing is 1/4 ml per cat per day, 7 days on, 7 days off.   I think that's about $0.56 per dose. The bottle lasts me about three months, which is close to the expiration date, so 10 mls might be better for a single cat. It expires quickly, according to the Pharmacy. DMG I get different places, depending on what else I need, but that's not very pricey, either. Maybe someone else has a good source for that. Don't hesitate to ask questions, chances are someone here has been thru most of what you MAY see.
