There is a liquid calcium supplement called Neo-Cal Glucon. It was originally developed for human children who were allergic to milk products. If you ask at you local pharmacy about it they can usually get it. It costs about 30 bucks for a 16 oz bottle. I know first hand that it work quit well from experience with a couple of cats. One a rescue Bobcat and the other a tiger. Also adding non-fat powdered dry milk to food is a way of adding calcium. Calcium carbonate and dicalcium phosphate are both available in large bags through feed stores. The ideal mix is 2 parts dical and 1 part calcium carbonate. Then you use about a teaspoon for 4 pounds of meat. Hope this helps somebody's cats. :) Glenda

Someone asked me about an immune system stimulant I got from my vet, but I can't find the message so I'm sending the info to both lists. The correct name is:
Eq Stim manufactured by ImmunoVet in Tampa, Florida

With that kind of food supply, I would use one Centrum (human) multi-vitamin/minerals tablet a day (ground up and put on or inside the meat... While they are growing, I would also give then a little human calcium supplement which will compensate for calcium loss from too much red meat...
If you want to get into super nutrition you can use what we developed and use for all our cats, a natural algae base supplement which is pricey but goes way beyond anything else... check it out at http://www.glowlife.com if you wish.

My son just participated in a human fund raiser to deal with iodine deficiency. This started me wondering -- do felids have an iodine supplement requirement? I haven't found anything in my reading, so thought I'd raise the question here and maybe someone would have the answer.

Well I know that companies began putting Iodine in the salt that we eat, hence the name Iodized salt. This is to eliminate Goiter, I have never seen a cat with Goiter, that would look pretty gross :) I'm sure if you deprived them of Iodine that would not be good but I'm not sure of the symptoms they would have.

Actually, when I was working at the animal hospital it seems like I do remember having an occassional cat (or dog?) with a goiter. don't remember whether they said what the reason was.
