Question
I have a manx cat that we found as a stray about 17 yrs ago. She was fixed and appeared in good health. Now because she is having trouble seeing we are concerned about her age and her sight. I have checked her teeth and they appear in good shape. She eats well and drinks lots of water and still wants to go outside but this is a concern. Her eyes look almost like a blue cloud over them and when spoken to she looks all around. Her coat is like black silk and still thick. She is a little overweight and her belly swings when she runs.

Answer
Hi Linda - Yes, old age has set in for this Manx Kid...
I bet the eyes have cataracts.... very common at this age. I am sure she can still see and may not loose the site 100%.

I have some suggestions for your pet's health needs - all nutritional.
At this age, I don't believe the vet will be able to help much with the eye site...You can make a visit to the vet and see what they say.

Here goes:
NuVET Feline will help the cataracts...
1.  Please give your baby some NuVET feline formula - call Joan and order some today - Guaranteed to help her or your money back - Will help with her immune system and healing.

2.
Please give some pure salmon oil - 1 teaspoon per day - great for over all health-  You can buy salmon oil at any pet store.

3.  I have some great supplements from Nature's Sunshine - I would like you to start on the NuVET first and then, later on.....we can talk about a few other additions.

Let me know how she does - please give me an e-mail up date in 3 weeks...
