My vet compounds it and I give it orally. It 
is very inexpensive this way. 

It is helping Dixie Louise with her teeth 
problems.

Good luck.

Interferon alpha, the one that is available in the U.S., is something that 
you give at home, orally (in a syringe). Your vet does not administer it. 
There are different protocols. Most people do 1 ml a day for seven days, then 
seven days off, then repeat. Some people, myself included, do 1 ml every 
day. Your vet can buy it or, if you want to buy it cheaper, you can buy it 
online if your vet calls in a prescription. I think it is through Island 
Pharmacy. If you can't find that online, let me know, and I will look for the 
link in my archives. Or someone who has ordered that way can post again 
how to get it.

Goobers are from Georgia!!Welcome to the list. Your vet will probably tell you to give a cc per day and give you instructions. Vets can get it for you, but some people can get their vets to prescribe it so they can get it online and save some $$.tonya"l.j. crabtree" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:thank you michelle i am going to meet with a new vet this week will they order the interferon or is this something i should do for them to administer yes i am a goober...lolthanks so much...you can never know how important this is to me or my cat kids...how many treatment usually does a vet administer and how far apart... i just want to be
