may be a tiny sting, but the trick is to get them to hold still and allow you to stick them. i have to that go balistic when i pick them up for meds. they know what i am up to and start running when they see me. even tried doing it at different times of the day. dorlis Belinda Sauro

   Hi Amy,   Wolfie's HCT at 29% isn't horrible, Epogen isn't given until the HCT drops to 20% or lower. Yeah didn't plan to start Epogen til it drops to 20 or lower. Just trying to do my research and prepare since I've never had one stop dropping once the HCT starts going down. Since

Hi Amy, Wolfie's HCT at 29% isn't horrible, Fred who I get the vit B for, his HCT hangs around 24% to 26%, he is CRF and some cats with CRF if they live long enough with it will slowly develop anemia and at some point if they live long enough some will eventually need Epogen. Epogen

PS. The Nutrived does contain more iron and a little more of some of the other ingredients, you could always buy a bottle of folic acid, I did that too and the capsules are tiny and you would only need a tiny bit of that, so you could open the capsule and sprinkle a tiny bit on his food, it
