Kitty folks ...

[Karen]

Any vitamin or supplement questions you'd like me to ask the vet for you? That's the theme for tomorrow's radio show, and I know some of you don't visit "General" often!

Sure, is it good to give kitties B12 and Lysine? Thank you Karen!

Amy

[Karen]

I asked my vet about giving Fister B-vitamins, and he said they wouldn't do it, since it could be dangerous.

Scrappy Two has the sniffles and is hard to catch so our Vet can see her. Whhat would be good to help her from wheezing?:)

Is any form of cranberries helpful for a kitty that has urinary tract problems occasionally?

I have a question. I give Isis lysine gel twice a day for a herpes in her right eye. I also give my 15 year old cat Maya the same stuff for chronic kitty allergies. could you please ask the vet if this is worth doing??

The vets said Yes, worth doing it for Isis, and no, it is not doing any good for Maya, so you can stop giving it to her!

Randi, the vets said today that your vets are absolutely wrong, there is not only no danger in giving B-vitams to cats, it actually can do them good!

Folks, I will email you the show segments when I get them, I promise! Katladyd, I am sorry, I didn't get a chance to ask about cranberry for kitty UTI! I will ask next time!

Amy

Absolutely, it can do no harm, and indeed do plenty of good for them!

[kuhio98]

So what is your question, kuhio?

Karen ~ Sorry I didn't see this until too late. I would be interested in the audio files if/when they are available. Thank you.

[Karen]

I'll send them along, I promise!
