Did you begin with 250 mg Vitamin C without kitty
having diarrhea?

Hey there Del! Good point - absolutely, it can
cause diarrhea in
animals and in people. If so, you back off
of the quantity a little,
and keep doing that till no
diarrhea.
I take it regularly too, not Belfields though, I take Rainbow
Light
Powder. The bottle of Belfields Vit C has
directions - but they're
downstairs, and I can't remember what
it says. But in general, I've
always used about 200-500mg
daily (if I can get disciplined enough to
do daily). Start
low, even lower than that if you wish, and build up.
Dr. Belfield is
the vet who says that he's had FELV+ cats go negative
after several
months of the Vit C therapy. Well my # of cats
increased, and
my discipline decreased, so I stopped the vitamin C to
adjust myself
for a while. Have to start it back up.
Seems like it was Dr. Pitcairn's
book that said, for upper
respiratory infections, to give 250 mg Vit
C, plus 250mg Lysine twice
daily. I used to do that for Lucy,
and it worked well - she died in
2001, I
think.
