Should we give them higher doses when emaciated, in kidney failure, and in "kitty sepsis" I call it?
Don't they make enough? I have heard 180 milligrams is what they produce of ascorbic acid daily.
Will it give them metabolic acidosis?
Stones of oxalates? Urine like battery acid?
Vomiting?
This is very controversial I am finding out, and I think if we have an open mind and are willing to do modern cutting edge research on the powers of antioxidants,
our cats may benefit immensely.
I posted my results with ascorbic acid here in an almost dead 19 yr old Tortie and was shocked at the responses.
"tomfoolery" with my cats health, "STOP experimenting with your cats health", on and on."for the love of God stop this insanity"
There are vets using high dose ascorbic acid so I will post links to their websites.
I googled orthomolecular and holistic cat vets and found lots of reports on C
Many recommend doses of 500mg or more per day.
I found info on this at twocrazycatladies.com
They sell ascorbic acid for cats and a story hard to believe.
They had an identical issue that I just I had and their 18 year old boycat who was in dire straights is now 21.
Chewy sells their products and I love their kitty grass. off topic sorry...
Links added below as I gather them
Dont try this without your vets approval.
Functional medicine, holistic, orthomolecular minded vets do exist.
