[Felvtalk] another felv kitten - Brasil

[Patricia Oliveira]

Hi,

Vet thinks his neck could be an allergy, it could explain eosinophilia. It
is really better after 6 days:

Retromad isn´t available here. Interferon is available, it was used
frequently in the past. Today isn´t so common brazilian vets prescribe it.

I´ll search about, thank you!
