Cherie, What's going on with Thor that you've been so worried?  Is it because of the vaccine?  Is he still having a hard time with the other animals?  Did I miss something, he's not sick is he? Nina Cherie A Gabbert wrote: Hi again, being so worried abouth Thor I forgot to mention, you c

I would assume it can be used with negatives, since it was not developed specifically for positives, to my knowledge. However, that doesn't mean it is necessarily a good thing to use in that cat's case.  That I would not know. But worth asking the vet to look into it. Michelle

karolyn, there is no credible evidence at this point that FIV passes in ANY way other than DEEP, PENETRATING bites--certainly not by licking! it has to be blood to blood, and even rough play bites do not seem to be a problem. remember that FIV+ generally passes during serious male to male fights ov

Thanks Barbara. Are you saying that you mix the MegaC with regular no-byproduct wet food (regular meaning not low-magnesium or made for struvite)? Wouldn't that still be a problem, if the wet food had too much magnesium? Also, why is dry food cheating? Are you doing the raw diet or are you t

This could be because if the FIV+ cat (Licks) washes the FIV- cat and then if the FIV- cat licks it's self on the spot where the FIV+ cat licked him/her and said cat has a break in the skin in it's mouth it is then possible that the FIV- can become FIV+
