I have a cat with a heart condition. It's minor right now but I'm concerned since it was nonexistent when I first got her. (got cat in November, clean bill of health in November and January, heart condition (fibrosis) positively diagnosed in May.
Now, I'm told if this is genetic no one can do anything for her, but there is a chance that it is due to an infection. Some cats live for years with this condition, or so I'm told.
Fish oil has Omega-3 fatty acids that are good for the heart, but how do you get it into the cat?
She won't take it plain;
She doesn't eat wet food;
She avoids the dry food when I put it on it;
Is there an Omega-3 paste vitamin I can buy? I give her L-lysine for feline herpes twice daily and she eats that, under protest, but it's a gel so she can't spit it out or avoid it when I put it in her mouth.
If anyone can recommend a paste vitamin I will try it on Gizmo. I really want this girl to stick around for a while.
Thanks very much.
