NuVet Plus problem

18 15:15:59

Question
I have a cat that suffers from a trick knee (luxating patella) so after reading your response to that same problem I started my cats on the NuVet Plus last week.  After just 3 days we noticed a huge difference, she was no longer limping in fact she was running, playing, jumping etc. it was wonderful.  Then after the 4th day I gave them the supplement and they both started throwing it back up.  I backed the dosage down to 1/8 of a teaspoon and they still throw it up.  We even tried 1/8 of a teaspoon in their water and that didn't work either.  What can we do?  Now that they haven't been on the supplement for about 3 days Isabella is back to limping and favoring that leg.  I really want her to take it but I don't want to make her sick.  Note:  I did notice that Isabella (the one with the trick knee) didn't throw up as much as Annie (Annie is the same age but smaller).  Any suggestions would be truely appreciated.

Answer
Hi Karne - Great that the NuVET was helping...  did you get the feline powder?  You did not get the doggie powder did you?
Can you mix the NuVET Feline Powder into some tuna fish 1 x per day...Or , you can break up the dosage into two smaller dosages ... YOU can do 2 x per day in some tuna fish or wet cat food.

I have never heard of any cats vomiting with the NuVET.  It is all natural and shouldn't make any cat get a belly ache.

Give them a Day off of the NuVET and try again tomorrow -
If you can't get it to work for them - call the 1-800 # and they will refund your money...

Let's see if we can try to keep them on this.  As you see, it helps a bunch...

Talk to you soon!
