That's hilarious Lynne---I can just picture the little scamp! What a sweetie! I have to say, it didn't take BooBoo long to get comfy in your household. Snuggling up under the covers to your husband? Even mine that I've had for years don't go *under* the covers! I'm envious! Kerry

I seem to remember my vet telling me the diluted interferon is only good for three months. A three month supply cost me $30.00 if I remember, it's been a long time ago. Your vet should only dilute a three month supply at one time. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

I'm glad Boo is on the doxy, but a week is not long enough, it should be for a 3 or 4 week minimum. The taste is disgusting, can you get the pill form, you could put the pill in a pill pocket or empty capsule and he wouldn't even taste it. All of my cats hate liquid meds, I never get

My vet is 120 miles away. He gives me frozen viles of the interferon + the solution to mix it with. I prefer to have them do the mixing so I pick up the premixed stuff when I am in town. The frozen is backup. On Feb 17, 2008, at 2:26 PM, Belinda Sauro wrote: I seem to remember my vet

Hi. We give interferon by mouth. It has no taste is not a problem to give. Maybe what you are giving is different. There are 2 kinds, I think. One is for humans (diluted) and one for cats (expensive). We give the human one. The doxy tastes terrible. Can you chase it with a small amount of water

Doxy was very hard on my stomach when I was taking it for an infected cat bite. Check into pepscid or something comparable if he takes it for long. I have better luck with pills/capsules and catsall of mine hate(d) liquid meds. On Feb 16, 2008, at 7:23 AM, Lynne wrote: I have to

Lynne Did you doctor recommend a probiotic while giving him the anti-biotic? I use FortiFlora. I am sure there are other good ones, but it will help his digestive track and it restores the 'good' bacteria that the antibiotics destroy. Jane On Feb 16, 2008, at 6:41 PM, Marylyn wrote: Doxy
