Thanks Michelle--I'm going to try all these
things.
(Liver shake that's even just 5 minutes old
he won't eat any more. But I'll try the Odwalla.)

Whether Pet Tinic or anything like it will help in any way
depends on why he is anemic. They are mostly iron supplements, but a lot
of causes of anemia have nothing to do with iron. You could try putting
some Pet Tinic in some sour cream, but I think you are taking the risk that if
he does not like that he will then stop eating the sour cream, which seems to be
his only sustenance currently. It is for that reason that I did not try putting
things in Simon's sour cream when it was all he wanted. If Levi is still
eating liver shake (it sounds like he isn't), then that has a ton of iron and
vitamins in it as well and probably obviates the need for Pet Tinic or another
supplement. If he has stopped eating liver shake, how old was it? Simon
will only eat it the day I make it or the next day, and then does not want it.
Whatever is left at that point I give to my dog and make a new batch.
Also, he seems crazier about the liver shake when made with carrot juice (from
health food store-- Odwalla brand in small bottle) than when I made it with V-8
or tomato juice, and he likes it warmed until it is almost hot and will not
drink it cold. If you have not tried these strategies with Levi you could
try them to see if he might eat the liver shake again. Apparently some
cats actually like Pet Tinic, and I know some like Nutrical, so you could try
just putting one of those in a bowl in front of him and see if he will eat
it.
