Re: [Felvtalk] YIKES
you can always ask your vet if they would PLEASE order a vial of interferon for you from their supplier--all they can do is say no, and you might be surprised MANY will do so, or will do so at a slight markup if you just ask them -- Spay Neuter Your Neighbors!

Re: [Felvtalk] YIKES
You could always formulate it yourself or get a vet tech to help you. It is a pain to do it, but one vial of full strength interferon will make more of the stuff for cats than you could use in a lifetime. Throw away the excess or share with someone. You have to freeze it after you cut it the first time.
