Hi Gloria, Just an FYI, Nutrived is better than Pet Tinic, it has the folic acid needed in blood building and Pet Tinic doesn't. Vit B, Iron and Folic acid are needed to biuld blood. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ... http://bemikitties.com http://BelindaSauro.com

I concur with treating for hemabart even if the test was negative. That is how Junior was treated and he lived another year and a half. He tested negative as well but the vet treated as if he was positive for hemabartenella. I will be praying for kitty. Gary I am so sorry to hear things are not

There are different approaches to using oral interferon, which I understand is produced naturally by the body. One theory I know of, is that FELV kitties may be low in interferon and need daily supplementation, not 7 on/off (or 3 on/off). I think the on/off approach is because they think

My Gray Kitty just started Interferon with good results. He completed the first 7 days with no problems. However, he has been off it now for the second day and this morning he vomitted many times. I was worried about it and may take him to the doctor. From: souther...@aol.com Date: Tue,

Has the vet put her on Doxoxycline, hemobartonella is a very common cause of anemia and positives get it frequently. Doxy will help get rid of it and if she doesn't have it won't hurt her but if she does, she will die if it isn't treated and the doxy may just save her life. Has she even

I use PetTinic as a supplement. That's what I used with my last anemic cat, who was also on doxycycline. I think you have to be careful with iron supplements, use as directed by the vet. Best of luck with your 8 mo old baby! Gloria On Dec 17, 2008, at 6:32 AM, Lorrie wrote: One of

Cats almost never get low on iron, it does happen but not very common. Bailey was low when he was anemic but my vet said this was not very common. Has your vet tested the baby to make sure she is low on iron, too much iron isn't good either. You may try nutrivid it is a vitamin b, folic
