[Felvtalk] Vitamin C research

2009-12-14 Thread mary (merlin) marshall
By the way, I am not against vitamin therapy. I take a handful of vitamins and minerals several times a day. I do think Vitamin C along with other things has helped reduce the number and severity of colds I get. But I don't believe it can cure feline leukemia or FIP. Show me if you can. Mer

I'm with antianxiety meds too. It might also help with his aggression with your other cat. I have 2 on prozac for peeing issues. One of them also challenges my alpha cat. Putting him on prozac really just took the edge off of him. He still plays with his buddy cats, but he has stopped spray

Hi all, Thanks to Diana, Chris, Gloria, Laurie, Dorlis and Sheryl for responding to my questions. You are right, I was freaking out yesterday. I was expecting Kitty to test positive for FIV which was no big deal for the rest of the cats, and when it came back leukemia, I was stunned. I had t
