[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 195062, member: 852"] Say you have a modified live virus vaccine (like Bovishield Gold 5-way) and you only need 2 doses out of a 10 dose vial - if you stuff the vial in the freezer after taking what you need, will it be good later? I know what the label says - use entire contents when first opened - and that I've always been told if it isn't used within about 3 hours after mixing, that it's no good. But...sometimes you can freeze drugs (like Naxcel; after it's mixed it has to be frozen) and sometimes you can't. Where does a MLV fall on that scale? And if it CAN'T be frozen...why? I was thinking about it, and if the problem is that the IBR/BVD and lepto die after the two vials are mixed in a MLV, well, doesn't that make it kind of like a killed vaccine? or is it not that simple? :lol: My vet wasn't exactly sure...as he joked (due to the weather in our area)..."viruses are hard to kill. If they could be killed by freezing we wouldn't have any viruses in Idaho." :lol: Comments? Thanks- [/QUOTE]
