This add-on rejected

First of all we need more information about Revain included in this product. As one reviewer pointed out, this supplement contains fructose. I'm not sure why cats need fructose, or if they can even ingest it, but this ingredient was a point against its use in my book. I probably wouldn't have bought this item if I had more information. Second, this product contains iron. I don't know about other cats, but mine is fed raw red meat. I can't get him to eat poultry most of the time so he eats mostly beef, venison, lamb and occasionally rabbit. When I eat this raw meat, I can't believe he needs iron. What I do know is that too much iron can be harmful, and I fear more than not enough. I didn't like that about this product. It's good. I bought this for my cat who has a heart condition and takes Lasix to prevent fluid from building up around the heart and lungs. Lasix robs the body of potassium and his recent blood test showed his potassium levels are now clinically low. Our cat has been struggling with a lack of appetite for some time and I'm pretty sure it's due to the side effects of his heart medication. I was hoping that the B1 in this product would help with my appetite issues. My vet was on vacation for a week when I received this supplement. Instead of waiting a whole week to introduce it, I gave my cat a small amount. I offered him a few drops in a bowl and he turned away. Thus, the product loses points for taste. In order not to stop, I put 8 drops in capsule number 3 and gave him the pills. Eight drops contains capsule number 3. It worked much better and since I wasn't trying to give the full dose I wasn't worried about how I was going to give him 2ml. He took this product at a dose of 8 drops once a day for 8 days. It seems to have helped with his appetite a little. I'm not sure what would happen if we could give him a full dose. The bottle also states that this supplement should be given to cats with heart disease with caution, which would be good to know in advance. This was another reason to start with a very low dose. In the end, I decided to follow my vet's recommendation for a simple potassium supplement. Sometimes less is better. The main reasons are that this product contains iron and fructose and my cat doesn't like the taste. In fact, I've never had a cat that was interested in anything bacon flavored. So if your cat likes the taste of this supplement, consider yourself lucky. By the way, I found something that helps his appetite even better than a few drops. this supplement I gave him. This is homeopathic alfalfa 6c. I put a pill in his water bowl and he eats well again.
