If you read the information on the FAB website, this will confirm what I've said (I don't expect anyone to believe me, I've only owned cats for 27 years, been breeding for 19 years and have always taken a particular interest in feline disease and treatment, being a biochemist myself - nothing of any use really) The information on the FAB site is written by feline specialist vets, so I reckon they know what they're talking about.........
Hi KK,

I for one have a great deal of respect for the advice and info you give on here, I think its a shame that people have to contradict you.

I hope it doesn't put you off advising folk because I would miss your imput very much.

Izzie
