Question
I have a 12 yr old cat that had a corneal rupture, vet removed the eye.  Possibility of it happening with other eye is there, I am putting in drops from the vet, Tacrolimus .03, two times a day the rest of her life.  Is there an alternative eye care I can use? Thank you

NuVET Plus for felines can be added to your program.  I would Not take her off the Tacrolimus as she does need this.  Please just add 1/2 teaspoon of NuVET Feline formula to her cat food - mix well.  NuVet will help to reduce inflammation and helps to Fight off any infections.
*** turmeric powder ***
You can also add Turmeric powder to her food - JUST a Pinch each day - this is a herb powder for cooking.
Turmeric  helps to reduce inflammation and any swelling.
 The taste is very strong - add a pinch into the cat food or you can mix it into some low fat cottage cheese ?  


Call the NuVET folks and ask for the cat powder:  remember, I only want you cat to get 1/2 a teaspoon per day.  ( tell the NuVET folks the amount that I want for your cat kid)
