Cat vitamins for cat not eating with lymphoma

Post by JulieJulie »

Can anyone recommend a good vitamin supplement for cats? My girl turns out to have a lymphoma, I'm assisted feeding her as she has a poor appetite (Hills i/d). Struggling to get the recommended amount of food into her so thought I'd try something like a vitamin supplement paste. Hopefully the b vit will also stimulate her appetite. She's also on prednisolone.

Ah poor girl :( so sorry to hear. I've had good results with both cats and kittens with this -

You just squeeze out the required length - it looks and tastes like very weak golden syrup - and wipe it on the cat's lips.

And there is this, which does need mixing with water and syringing if the animal isn't drinking -

Hope this helps, all the best with her and please let us know how she goes on x

Thank you so much I'll take a look at those.
In case anyone elseis ever in this situation I'll share that I've found smaller 5ml syringes to be the best, less stressful and messy way to give slow controlled feeding.
My girlie is snoozing on her heatpad now. Want her life to be as comfortable as possible for however long we have )-:
