Pregnant and Nursing Queens will benefit from being fed a growth type diet during the last 3 weeks of pregnancy and while nursing kittens. This type of diet provides extra nutrients and energy. Some owners feel the need to give kittens nutritional supplements. Check with your vet for advice. At most, a multi-vitamin formulated and dosed appropriately will ensure that your kitten's nutritional needs are being met.
Some owners suggest the addition of supplements to the daily diet of elderly cats.
However, it's best to ask your veterinarian for advice on how to best care for older cats. Mineral oil is often suggested to prevent constipation by some owners and breeders, but it can do more harm than good. When providing supplements, always remember to check with your veterinarian to determine the right amount necessary for the individual needs of your cat. Please contact our Web-Master .
