I used immuno-regulin on my cat Smokey. He had a
problem with fevers. It wasn't very expensive. I
would give it to him subq and the vet would fix the
shots up for me. I would keep them refrigerated. At
first I did 2 a week. I gradually gave him the shots
less and less. Now he doesn't get them at all. Just
thought I would let you know what my experience with
it has been.
