Lixotinic for Anemia
The Otter tends to run anemic. To counteract it, he now gets 2
tsp. of Lixotinic (Pet Tinic's the same thing) daily. It's a heavy dark
syrupy liq. vit. that's full of iron. When it popped up again a few months
ago, I also supplemented with 1/8 cup of cooked liver daily for about a week
(can't go too heavy with the liver when you're dosing with the Lix.). Within
a month, we tested again and it was under control.
If you try the supplement and it helps, use KV Vet Supply to purchase. I'm
paying about $49 for a gallon (free shipping) vs. $10 for a 1/2 cup bottle
from the vet. I just transfer it to a smaller dark amber bottle from a
pharmacy & store the gallon in a cool, dark place. Lasts a long time.
