...sounds like you guys have to kick hard in the a** the FDA so they stop making troubles to get the magic stuff in the USA... :) Paolo Sue Taft wrote: I have a friend who uses it for two FeLV cats, both seem to be thriving. The first vet who saw one of these wanted to put her to sleep as she had ulcers in her mouth. These have gone and she is a picture of health. Good luck with yours.
Re: Virbagen Omega Interferon - Availability in Canada
Hi there, i am Sandra with Tabbs in Spain, I have just started my boy on Virbagen Omega, and thought that any information that you have would help you . so here goesIt cost me from my vets 403 euroes and the treatment is for 10 mu 2 treatments per bottle, the address on the leaflet is virbac SA-L.I.D. 1ere Avenue -2065m 06516 CARROS-francahope this may be of some help to you. sadly the cost is a lot, and if it works for my boy, I will be looking for another supplier, as I can not keep up with this cost every 3 weeks, Tabbs is on 1/2 bottle every other daygood luckKindest Regards Sandra --- "Marlene Chornie" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:From: "Marlene Chornie" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:51:49 -0500To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgSubject: Virbagen Omega Interferon - Availability in Canada 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. for it to be approved for use in Canada, and it was "in the works" last year and it's anticipated approval was around May 2005 (as I had previously read somewhere). However, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency had requested a couple more items of information from the manufacturer, but they never heard back from the manufacturer. I wonder why that is??? I believe I have the correct address for the manufacturer in France (?) and am considering writing to them to ask them if they have any immediate plans for resubmitting for approval here. It's not the information I had hoped to find out, but it does give us at least a glimmer of hope on the horizon for it being available here in Canada. I'm guessing that would make it a little easier for those of you in the U.S to import it from here perhaps? Marlene Pekoe Angel Digby

Re: Virbagen Omega Interferon - Availability
Marlene, Here is the email address for the agency in Canada that I first contacted when I was looking into VO's availability there. If you look through the archives you'll find my posts about the wonderful woman that helped get it approved for emergency use. I had asked her if I could give out her name and she said she preferred I didn't, (although she is a vet, she doesn't have a practice). I'm sure you'll be able to find it through this email address. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Let me know if you can't and I'll contact her directly and get you the info. Good luck, let us know what happens, Nina Marlene Chornie wrote: Does anyone know if Virbagen Omega Interferon is available for use in Canada?
