Bossy as all of our employees are calling him now, is about 9 1/2 lbs. I don't know if weight has to do with the amount or if it is because my vet is treating a FIV ( 3 years now) with the same dose.
I really know nothing about this. This is my first time dealing with this problem. I did however take in a small kitten years ago who died with this just days after we brought him in.
If I can find any answer as to why the dose I will pass it on.
He does have mixed bowel movements. I think the lamb and rice (CANNED) may be the problem. I am reducing it and giving more dry food now.

I've been giving .5ml Interferon, and have heard of others giving 1ml -
wondering if I should up the dosage? Gloria
