I believe Island Pharmacy (where many people get their Interferon) says the
final dilution - 30units per dose - shouldn't be frozen and should last 90
days in the fridge. Some people say it lasts longer, I personally don't

It could be they just want you to keep ordering. Supposedly, if diluted to
only 3000 units, it will keep frozen indefinately. Unfortunately, if you do
it that way, you have to do your own dilution to 30 units when you thaw
some.

I think you are confusing 2 words, necrotized and necropsied. Necrotized
means dead, necrotized tissue is dead tissue. Necropsied means to have
performed a necropsy, which, is the same as an autopsy, an examination of a
dead body.

Would anyone mind sharing me the ages of your FELV cats and age of
diagnosis.
Thanks so much
Kelly
My understanding is that about 70% of adult cats are immune to FELV so it is
quite possible to mix UNvaccinated adult cats with a positive and have no
problems. It is also possible, if you have one of the remaining 30%, for it
to be transmitted even by saliva.
