Thanks for the specifics Gary.  I'll send an email to my specialty clinic and ask them if they've ever used it on their patients.

I don't know how much Interferon Omega costs but the natural interferon I got the pricing on (Multiferon manufactured by Veragin) works out to $70 for a 3 million unit vial and if my math is correct that should make 100,000 30 unit doses.  That is enough for 274 cats for a year if you dose them every day or twice that many if you do the 7 days on and 7 off like they did in the study.  I would think the most expensive part would be the saline and the syringes.  The study actually uses 10 units per kg so I would guess the average dose would be more like 50 units if you wanted to follow their protocol.  Then you'd only get 60,000 doses and that would cover over 300 cats using 7 days on and 7 off.  That should be enough for a year even at very large sanctuaries.
