Yes, the liver shake is supposed to have a lot of iron and be good for the anemia. I just know that sometimes iron in foods binds with calcium, etc. etc.... I don't know enough about it to explain. lol. But I know I have to take iron and am not supposed to take it with certain foods etc.... I thought the pet tinnic might 'get into the system' more effectively. But if iron deficiency isn't the problem it wouldn't matter anyway.
Will he let you put nutrical in? My cats usually like that. I don't know enough about nutrition to know that much about it all. I assume since cats are carniverous and you're getting the liver shake and other meats in he should be getting what he needs.
Gotta go get Mama Kitty out of the turtle pond!

Every time I try to add something to it, he won't eat it. The liver shake
itself should have a ton of iron, as liver has a lot of iron. I think the liver
shake is meant for cats with anemia, actually. I thought abour syringing him
pet tinic but he is already upset about stuff I gave him today. In reality,
also, it really is not an iron deficiency that is causing his anemia, but the
physical take-over of his bone marrow by the cancer. i think it is more an
issue of his body not being able to store iron, due to lack of enough red blood
cells due to lack of enough functioning bone marrow, rather than him not
ingesting enough iron.
I bought him roast beef slices tonight and he ate them pretty eagerly. I
think they should have iron too.
