Hi Gary, I haven't heard back from my Internist's office, (I sent them an email, it may have gotten overlooked). I called and left a message on the vet liaison's voice mail. She's not in today, so I don't expect to hear back from her any earlier than tomorrow. When I do, I'll let you know what

Gary, The reason importing the Feline Interferon Omega is such a hassle is because it's not approved for use by the FDA. The Human Interferon A is approved and therefore easier to obtain. Do you know for a fact that the Multiferon is not approved? Nina gary wrote: Hi Wendy, Personal

Are you talking about interferon omega, also called Feline Interferon or Virbagen Omega? A few of us have imported that, and we have all the forms in electronic version, and Nina's vet has put together a packet she sends out to anyone interested. Basically, the vet needs to send an

Gary, Thanks for the info. I didn't know you could import it for use in your own home. When you said personal use, I assume you meant for your cats? lol. I have read that the feline Interferon is much more effective. I tried to research how to get it, but it said it was only available in

Wendy, If you want to get the feline Interferon Omega, (apparently Gary is talking about something different here), you have to get a special dispensation from the FDA. My vet has made up a packet to help people's vets apply. I've sent the info to the list many times, if you are interested,
