Group in Ventura CA (805-339-2290)has made an "FDA packet" that she

Thanks Marlene, I hadn't heard about testing blood parameters before.
Apparently my girls were "good responders", since they felt so much
healthier by the third day of use. When you say "refractory to
interferon", does that mean that they simply do not respond, or has it
been found to be detr
Some more information I have:
It is recommended to test blood parameters 14 days after
the beginning of treatment, on Day 14. If hematocrit (PCV) and/or RBC
count are within physiological ranges, there is a high probability for the cat
to be a "good responder" to interferon therapy. I

Hi All,
I found out a bit of information regarding the
"potential" availability in Canada. According to a Senior Veterinary
Biologics Evaluator, Veterinary Biologics Section, Canadian Food Inspection
Agency - apparently the manufacturer had submitted all the necessary paperwork,
etc.
in perhaps it's going to be licensed in the not to
distant future, but possibly they're not permitted to give out that information
to the general public? I will see if they can tell me if the licensing is
"in the works".
By the way, would any of you who have been getti
You said it because that was one of the reasons we were so concerned
about using the "left-over".

Also, my vet said to wipe the vial top with alcohol before each
injection into the vial. Michelle R. sent me home with another
sterilizing agent to wipe after the alcohol as well. I can't remember

If you use one needle to mix, another to inject, and a third to draw and
inject the remainder, it should remain sterile. We have vials of medicine we
inject our dog with, and each vial lasts about 25 injections or so. It is
supposed to remain sterile, because each needle is sterile when it

Nina, are you sure you really have a way to keep the unused sterile? I'd be
really worried about that.

Found some more info on VO ya'll might be
interested in.
The last time they were weighed, (I haven't invested in a scale), was on
11/24. Jazz was 8lb, 15oz and Grace was 6lb, 13oz. They've both gained
weight since then, especially Grace. It seems to me 21bs is a pretty
big discrepancy, but they suggested the same amounts of VO for both.
[EMAIL PRO
How much do they weigh? The dose is weight-dependent.
