Thank you so much, Wendy. I've been trying to look up information on
my own but I read a lot of conflicting things. I suspect people on this
list have more knowledge and experience than most anyone around and so I'm
really hoping for some good information even if it is anecdotal. If I
thought it would help my kitty to paint myself blue and run naked through
the front yard - you better believe I would do it! ;-)
Have fun on your trip! Cat on keyboard -- gotta go.

Hey
Elizabeth,
Hope all is going well with you. We're safely
in
Florida right now, and enjoying our trip. I'll have
to tell you
all about it when we get back. As far as
vitamin C goes, I have not
used it on my kitties yet,
but if I did have an immune compromised kitty
again, I
would after doing the research. I can't remember
the
article on vitamin C, but it was a good one. If I run
across
it, I will forward it to you. I know that too
high doses of Vitamin C
can acidify the urinary tract,
which isn't good. I think that FeLV
symptomatic
kitties don't produce enough, but I can't remember if
that's
exactly what I read. I would resend your email
with a different
subject line because I think people
skipped over it thinking it was
something personal for
one particular person. You should get more
replies
from people who use Mega C or the like. Take care and
talk
to you soon!
:)
