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.
