Hi,
Pet-tinic is a liquid supplement rich in iron, copper and Vitamins
B12, B6
and Thiamine, among other vitamins. The belief is that this
supplement
will help the animal produce more RBCs. There is also a product
called
Liqui-Tinic which offers similar vitamins and minerals. It does,
however,
have corn syrup in it which I am not a big fan of.
Transfer Factor Plus is a combination of amino acids and vitamins.
It's
works by boosting the immune system's response. FeLV+ felines are at
greater risk for contracting illness because of the virus; by
boosting the
immune system, they are able to fight opportunistic illness better.
I obviously can't guarantee these are what kept her alive. It could
have
been the constant love, lunch meat or her little body fighting on its
own.
However, it also didn't hurt. Several people on this forum have used
one
or the other or both and have had success with them. I truly believe
that
if she hadn't contracted FIP, she would have continued to recover
with the
help of these supplements... and endless amounts of lunch meat ;)

Hello Katherine,
I definitely have to back Heather here. Pale gums and eating litter
are
very indicative of anemia. Earlier this year, our sweet girl Polli,
started licking walls and clay planters. She slowly lost interest
in her
toys and food. By the time I took her to the vet, she was severely
anemic.
The vet didn't think she had more than a week and was hesitant to
treat
her. She was also about six months when she started showing
symptoms.
We gave her Pet-tinic and Transfer Factor Plus in addition to a
vitamin-rich diet and a lot of pampering. She fought through the
anemia
but we lost her to FIP five months later.
I would suggest taking him to the vet as soon as possible. The
earlier
you catch anemia, the better the chances are of treating it.

Yes, definitely. I would get him in asap (today). This is a worry
with
any kitty and especially felv+ kitties. Last time someone told me
their
cat was eating litter, he died soon after even though they got him
to the
vet (probably needed a transfusion which I don't think they tried).
Again not to scare you but given pale gums + eating litter, would
rather
err to the side of caution and say get him in asap as that's
definitely
worriesome.

Thanks. After doing few searches on the listserv archive and
reading
past posts I wanted to add that I also have found him a couple of
times
recently eating litter (the kind he was eating was Worlds Best Cat
Litter
made from corn, but he also uses clay litter) and he has a
tendency to lick
the shower drain after my shower. Seems like those could also be
symptoms
of anemia..missing a mineral or something.

Pale gums can indicate anemia, if gums are white they are usually
near
death. I'd get the kitty's PCV (packed cell volume) checked
asap. FELV+
cats are particularly prone to anemia, I don't have any FELV+
cats and
think sometimes it is non-regenerative but some here might have
some advice.
Not to scare you, but anemia is something that needs to be
addressed
quickly.

Just saw Avaykn's email as I was writing this. I have the
opposite
problem - pale gums.
One of my positive kittens Terence has started looking/feeling a
little skinny and his usually short sleek fur has a more raggedy
look to
it. I checked his gums this morning and they were pale compared
to his 3
siblings (who are also positive). He is 6 months old. They are
on lysine
and getting wet and dry food.
I'm going to try adding fortiflora and get some lixotinic from
the
vet. Appetite seems normal, he's still active/playful but
perhaps less so
than usual.
