Thanks Susan. I offered Missing Link a number of years ago after we visited a
holistic vet 2 hours away. Mine all refused it.
I wonder about the garlic in it...know I've seen garlic can be toxic to cats. I
will check out the internet for Missing Link as well as the feline Transfer
Factor we are currently using to see if they have similar ingredients. If not,
I"ll ask my vet to order ML. Has anyone tried PolyMVA? I used that for another
cat a long time ago. We were too late to help him. It has colostrum in it and
is used by humans and animals who have cancer.
Thanks for your interest in Isabella. I will let you know what I find out.
Thanks!
Laurie

Laura,
I was @ my vet this morning, so I went ahead and picked up a package of
Missiing Link.
I have been meaning to try it on my felv+ gang, as well as work it into my
other group of kitties eventually.
Right now the nonfelv cats just get the brewer's yeast sprinkled on top of
their dry food, which again is the Evo mixed w/ Core.
Ok, both formulas say "veterinary formula" on the package.
One package is gold, while the "professional strength" is on a silver package.
The professional strength says it is for "Recovery & Detoxification".
This is only available @ the vet's.
I didn't have time @ the vet office to compare both packages to see what the
ingredient difference was.
But listed they have probiotics, carrot & alfalfa powder, yeast, freeze dried
beef liver, kelp, dandalion root, garlic, yucca as well as spirulina.
I am interested most in the spirulina, I take that and I believe it helps me.
A friend of mine had a felv+ cat that she gave spirulina to years ago, and
the vet was amazed that he threw the virus.
Hard to tell if he was just one of those cats that does, or if the spirulina
actually helped.
Another friend had a kitty that ate some of the bad pouch Nutro food that was
going around, and went into renal failure @ the age of 3 years.
He recovered after 2 weeks @ the vet and lots of sub Q's helped, but she also
mixed up a batch of spirulina and some other things for him to get.
She gave it to him orally, it was a liquid.
Not sure how he is doing, I need to call her and see what it is that she was
giving him.
I paid $21. for one pound of supplement,must be kept in the fridge after
opening & use within 90 days.
I will let you know if I see any difference in my felv+ cats, which as of now
(knock on wood) are not symptomatic.
