[Felvtalk] Zinc and anemia

2009-05-23 Thread Emily Hunter
Since anemia can be a persistent and deadly problem for felv+ cats, the recent recall of some of the Nutro foods is disturbing to me. The reason given for the recall is a problem with the amounts of zinc and potassium. Apparently too much zinc leads to copper deficiency and anemia

Given the recent discussions about anemia and treatment, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with abnormal copper levels inducing anemia? From what I've read, both too much and too little copper absorbed by the cat can lead to anemia. Copper deficiency on it

Hi Vite drops are a good iron supplement, available at most vets I think & not particularly expensive. It does have other vitamins/minerals in it, so good to check the ingredient list if your cat is high in any areas that need to be watched/ingredients avoided. On Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 2:48 PM, Sa
