Hi,
I have been trying to catch up on reading some posts..so I think this is for Bonnie and Belinda...I am going to list what I give Bandy or some of it...the most recent things anyway..I do think Bandy has non-regenerative anemia...But something is working for now..It is hard to tell what I guess because I rotate his supplements..If he turns his nose up, then I go get some food just to make sure he eats that meal then add the supplements to the next meal..
Liqui-tinic 4X vitamin and iron supplement similiar to pet tinic
Co Q 10 sprinkled on 2 meals a day
Extra strength immune and antioxidant support by CAS options..which has the following in it...Reishi, Shiitake and Maitake mushrooms, green tea powder, vit C Co Q 10, selenium and Vit E once a day
Oxazepam transdermal for appetite stimulant...( we haven't used this in about 3 months though) good to have around though
Folic acid
800mcg. which I sprinkle on every meal...so the capsule usually lasts for 3 meals...I am giving it to all of the ones with Bandy as they do get into each others food..Lil Rascal my heart kitty needs some too...My natural book says give 0.8mg.kg on food daily for cats..But also says when a kitty is sick to up the doses of most things by 6 to 10 times..It is good for pets on pred and tetracycline antibiotics...So this is why I went ahead and added it to Bandy's supps as he has had both.He still gets dex for his fever so I am hoping this is helping his anemia...
Bugleweed is something I am going to give Little RAscal as it is good for heart conditions and hyper thyroidism...I couldn't remember if one of you said your kitty was hyper-t, too...
I feed Bandy science diet kitten food along with some fancy feast salmon.
They also have Sci diet k/d available and oral care..
I did forget to list bovine colostum...Someone on the FIV group told me
to add this awhile back so that goes on every meal, too..I sprinkle it on the food..The lady that told me about it has given her FIV kitty up to 6000mg of it in a day...I use about 1200 or so...
Bandy did take epogen shots for about 4 or 5 wks..I think...3x the first week then 2x a week..After he had the bone marrow biopsy, we stopped them just to make sure he didn't develope antibodies to it so we might be able to use it again if his anemia gets worse...
Hope this helps some...anything else I think of I will post...or email me directly if you want...
Best of luck to you and your kitties...
We will be thinking of you,
Kerry, Bandy and Lil Rascal and the rest of the crew..
