Here's the webpage I was thinking about:

They are mostly talking about Vita B supplements, but if you scroll down
you'll see discussion on pet tinic and comparable brands. I'll keep
looking for alternatives to pet tinic for iron supplement. Of course we
don't know if Mama is really anemic, and even if she is, not all anemia
responds to iron supplementation.

Hi Elizabeth,
I know how scary it is when our babies show any change in behavior.
Try not to stress out too much before you know what's going on. (I
know easier said than done). You're hyper vigilant enough to have
caught this early and it's wonderful that you already have a vet
appointment scheduled. Let's wait and see what the vet has to say
before we freak out. Since Mama responded so well to the Acemannan
before, I'd go ahead and order it, better to have it and not need it
then the other way around.
I agree completely about keeping our promises, (re: pet-tinic), ask
the vet what you could substitute as a supplement instead. I read a
good website a while back, I think it was from a CRF group talking
about comparable things to pet-tinic. I'll look for it as soon as I'm
done typing this.
Prayers that Mama is just not feeling well right now, (hey we all have
our off days), and that she bounces back quickly.
Hugs to you,
Nina

Thank you so much, Lance. Mama Kitty has a very strong aversion to
Pet Tinnic. I wish I could get her to take it but last time she got
some - it upset her so badly that she had a seizure. I promised her
that she would never have to take that again. I just wish there were
an easy way to get some iron in her. My vet will probably at the
very least give her a vitamin B12 shot, a steroid shot, and some
antibiotics. I'm just debating whether I need to order a round of
Acemannan. I may just be over-reacting here but with this disease
you just can't be too careful.
