Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / May 2007Ping Phil or anyone who uses DVM 3V Caps HP liquid
Phil: You once wrote that you squirted 3V Caps HP liquid onto a plastic teabag for one of your cats. I just bought a bottle for my cat who has a skin allergy, and the first dosage was very hard to measure. It's recommended that 1/3 of a pump or .15 of a teaspoon s/b given to a 10 lb. cat. I gave the cat about three drops in her food. Depending on the size of the drops that came out of the bottle, that can either be 1/5 of a teaspoon which is almost correct, or a full teaspoon which is 6-7x the recommended daily dosage! If each pump is 2 ml, and 1/3 s/b given to a cat, that means the measure s/b .67 ml. Do you recommend buying a bottle with a measured eye dropper (I'm hoping my pharmacy carries them)? How dangerous is a one time dose of one teaspoon? I don't know why DVM doesn't make it easier to measure dosages for cats. > How dangerous is a one time dose of one teaspoon?

According to G.T Wilkinson, _Diseases of the Cat and their Management_, unsaturated fats - particularly polyunsaturated fish oils - are toxic to cats unless there is enough vitamin E in the diet. The condition they cause is "yellow fat disease" and it sounds pretty horrible from his description. So does this stuff have vitamin E in it? ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 Jack Campin - wrote in news:bogus-226D7E.23330324052007@news.news.demon.net: >>> How dangerous is a one time dose of one teaspoon?

Probably. It's caused by the oils oxidizing into peroxides, i.e. going rancid after being taken up into the fatty tissues. The cat needs an antioxidant in its diet to prevent it. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 >>> According to G.T Wilkinson, _Diseases of the Cat and their >>> Management_, unsaturated fats - particularly polyunsaturated fish [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food > intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 I wonder if this is also true for humans?
