Question

Chloe Pretending She F
You can try me at  if NCDaisy@aol doesn't work. Okay, I made a big boo boo. It looks like it is not omega oils and I feel just terrible that you had to call around, I really do! I have the box in front of me and it is called Derm Caps Liquid. Regular Strength. It is "a concentration of fatty acid dietary supplement for use in dogs and cats" Oh wait, it does say it has Omega-6 fatty acid so I wasn't totally wrong...I feel a little better but not much.So Derm Caps is the prescription name, The company name is IVX Animal Health, Inc. They might know a distributor in your area. My vet said it is a must for cats with food allergies and I know that they need extra oils to help them digest/pass hair thru their systems, but she also explained that these omega acids have a systemic effect on them that they do not get from veggie oils. Hope that helps. Give her a couple of days and she should feel a little better. Now Chloe is throwing up! She had her shots yesterday and has thrown up 9 times, 3 times each of the nine bouts. I feel so bad for her. If she is not better tomorrow she is going back to the doctor, even if we don't eat this week. Its okay, my husband long ago realized which one of them is the important one LOL.
Take care and let me know if you can find this stuff. Maybe with a name it will be easier. Again, I am so sorry I was too lazy to go get the box the first time and you had to spend all that time on the phone :-( Oh! I'd love a pic of Minnie! Here is one of Chloe.

Answer
Hi!
Thank you very very much.  Chloe is a beauty!  I have no pictures of Minnie on my computer.  I must invest in a Camera.  I will once she gets better, and I stop paying the vet, and food bills!  lol  I called the vet, and yes, he does have Derm Caps!  He told me to give her 1/2 capsule a day as one whole capsule would be too much.  You would think that he would have told me this yesterday as I described what I was looking for!  
I was so suprised when I opened the new can of cat food!  What a difference with what the Vet sells.  It looks so good, and she ate the gravy, but left the chicken pieces.  Little brat..I will pass it through the blender.  The gravy should help her though.  The cat bits are made with real chicken, has no grains whatsoever, whole eggs, and fresh caught fish.  It is "Acana" made by Holistic.  The Lady drives 400 miles to get it, so I was lucky she had some on hand.  I hope she gets better, and that she will waste.  This really worries me.  She started going into the bath lately, and only a few drops of liquid come out of her, so now I know that she really has a problem.  She still goes into her box, but only little drops.  Her box is spotless, I clean that box everyday, and wash it with Javex once a week, so it's not because her box is dirty.  She is trying to tell me something, but what?  If they could only talk!
I have your addy, I will try it later, I'm off to the Vets before he closes, and I will bring him back the can food I bought.
Thank you once again.
