Kerry, I bought the Immuno-Regulin from Revival online, and it arrived
quickly and without problem, and I think was about $30 for a vial I have used
several times and it is still half full.

Yes, on the lysine. As to interferon, most people who give it give it
prophylactically, before they get sick, to try to keep the immune system up. It
is up in the air how much, or if, it helps. Personally I think that things
like lysine and immuno-regulin work better, but I-R is not
Kerry,
At least to start, I would give I-R IV, at the vet's if you
can't do it yourself. That is the only way the studies show it working and the
company that makes it says it will work. They advise against giving it sub-q.
However, at least 2 cats on this list have gotten it sub-q without

and worse, which makes them less likely to eat, a vicious

Have you tried calling Tabby's Place? I think it's on 22 or 202 near

who does.

It sounds like if he would just eat,
then his PCV and protein would improve. Even though 22 is lower than he
was, at least it's still a decentnumber. I guess I'm just saying, I

Testing is VERY expensive when you take in numbers of cats. It's

A far worse thing for dental health in cats is the fact that most people
