Gribble and Mako are both on alternate week Interferon, andlLike Lance, I have no intention of stopping . We have ImmunoRegulin at the Vet's just in case, but (knocking madly) so far, so good...

I'm not sure that it does anything, but she's done so well that I have no plans to stop giving it to her. Glad that Tofu is such a strong girl. I hope she's staying cool right now. It's terrible in AR right now, though we're supposed to get some relief in a few days.
