Re: [Felvtalk] Question re heat cycle
Yes, I've heard that onions and garlic are not good for the cat. Yeast has been advised to reduce fleas. Guess the fleas don't like the vit. B or smell of the yeast. I've never had a cat try to eat onions/garlic, but I've had them try to eat the yeast. And the popcorn, which I doubt is good for them. ~B. - Original Message - From: "MaiMaiPG" To: Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 11:06 PM Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Question re heat cycle Don't know about garlic but onions can cause an irreversible anemia in cats and dogs.

Re: [Felvtalk] Question re heat cycle
Yes, get some vitamin C crystals, and start with a small amount and build up so Amber doesn't get diarrhea. Does she like yogurt? If not, also get some acidophilus/probiotic capsules, and mix powder into food. There are also some chewable vitamins for cats (ours aren't too keen on them) - they do, however, love to chew on yeast tablets as treats! -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Jannes Taylor Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2011 5:28 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Question re heat cycle I will ask about that when I take her back to the vet.

Since I have no intact males, there's no danger of pregnancy - we will just wait and see if she goes into heat, otherwise, we can shave and check at any timeI wouldn't worry too much - also check for nipple size -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Jannes Taylor Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2011 3:12 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] Question re heat cycle This Sunday will be one month since I rescued Amber.

Re: [Felvtalk] Question re heat cycle
A veterinarian can probably be able to tell by palpating her stomach...I've had cats that were never very obvious, but when spayed, it was noticeable that they were in heat.
