another reason for warming the food is that in the “wild” they ate what they killed – and it was warm blooded.

Any more than a few seconds might make it too warm and would scare him because he seems to be afraid of food that is too warm.

Peaches is very fussy about her food, so I am not sure if she will put up with Pet-Tinic, but I might give it a try. She was low on potassium, and even the lightest sprinkle of potassium gluconate powder in her food would cause her to reject i, though sometimes she would eat some of it. Tried the K gel also. Even one drop of fish oil also makes her reject her food, even if it happens to be fish-flavored!! So I focused on offering the most nutritious food possible, frequently, and changing it up (both flavor and texture) constantly to get her to eat more, thus taking in more nutrients. No sub-q fluids for her, as she is drinking plenty of water on her own.

I just wanted to suggest that if you can get the iron into her in another way, I would consider that. Iron injections (usually dextran) HURT! And yes, I know from personal experience ;) If she's getting sub-q fluids, you can add it at the end, and it may be dilute enough to be less painful, but iron is absorbed well orally. This is what I use, and some cats actually have followed me for it ; http://www.lambertvetsupply.com/Pet-Tinic-Liquid-Vitamin-Mineral-Supplement-for-Dogs-and-Cats_p_2533.html?preselopt=7142&gclid=Cj0KEQjw5MGxBRDiuZm2icXX2-sBEiQA619bq5hS3AFWV5jo5f133RPoNEAdq7uoC6pc0ciV4_TcV4caAgqg8P8HAQ HTH Margo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
