Thanks for the warning about the iron injections. Peaches is very
fussy about her food, so I am not sure if she will put up with
Pet-Tinic, but I might give it a try. She was low on potassium,
and even the lightest sprinkle of potassium gluconate powder in
her food would cause her to reject i, though sometimes she would
eat some of it. Tried the K gel also. Even one drop of fish oil
also makes her reject her food, even if it happens to be
fish-flavored!! So I focused on offering the most nutritious food
possible, frequently, and changing it up (both flavor and texture)
constantly to get her to eat more, thus taking in more nutrients.
No sub-q fluids for her, as she is drinking plenty of water on her
own.<br>

I've only used Epogen (Erythropoetin) for cats with
CRF, but it's been a while, and this may be a better option. The
Epogen did the job for us.<br>

I just wanted to suggest that if you can get the
iron into her in another way, I would consider that. Iron
injections (usually dextran) HURT! And yes, I know from personal
experience ;) If she's getting sub-q fluids, you can add it at the
end, and it may be dilute enough to be less painful, but iron is
absorbed well orally. This is what I use, and some cats actually
have followed me for it ;<br>
