Let’s consider a PMR recipe with a daily ration of 120 g, which is approximately 3% of Praline’s weight: Cats might require iron supplements if they have iron-deficiency anemia, which can be due to various causes such as chronic blood loss, poor diet, or certain diseases. Iron is essential for producing hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Without sufficient iron, your cat might show signs of fatigue, weakness, and pale gums. Only a few small studies have evaluated the benefits of oral iron supplementation alone or in combination with ESAs to treat anemia of chronic disease. For example, a prospective observational study in 132 patients with anemia and chronic kidney disease who were not on dialysis or ESAs found that oral supplements (130 mg/day elemental iron from ferrous sulfate twice daily) for 1 year resulted in a decline in hemoglobin of only 0.13 g/dL compared with 0.46 g/dL in the placebo group [ 76, 84]. A randomized trial of oral iron supplements (equivalent to 200 mg/day elemental iron, form of iron not specified) taken with an ESA once weekly in 100 patients with cancer-related anemia resulted in a mean increase of 2.4 g/dL hemoglobin after 24 weeks compared with oral supplements only [ 85]. Iron administered parentally increases hemoglobin levels to a greater extent and is associated with fewer side effects than oral iron supplementation in patients with anemia of chronic disease [ 86]. Health Risks from Excessive Iron Presence of reticulocytes (immature RBCs) – using special stains these cells can be distinguished from normal (mature) RBCs, and by determining their number it is possible to gauge how regenerative the anaemia is.

A balanced commercial cat food should provide sufficient iron for most cats. However, if your cat is on a homemade diet or has specific health concerns, consulting with a veterinarian or pet nutritionist can help ensure they get the necessary nutrients, including iron. There are differences in how countries regulate supplements. In the United States, these substances are not as vigorously regulated by the FDA as other medications, which means they can be sold without the manufacturer proving their effectiveness, safety, and without a guarantee of consistent or accurately reported ingredients. In Canada, products that have been evaluated for quality, safety, and effectiveness by Health Canada and authorized for sale will have a license number on the label. Iron is a mineral that is naturally present in many foods, added to some food products, and available as a dietary supplement. Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, an erythrocyte (red blood cell) protein that transfers oxygen from the lungs to the tissues [ 1]. As a component of myoglobin, another protein that provides oxygen, iron supports muscle metabolism and healthy connective tissue [ 2]. Iron is also necessary for physical growth, neurological development, cellular functioning, and synthesis of some hormones [ 2, 3]. Estimated Average Requirement (EAR): Average daily level of intake estimated to meet the requirements of 50% of healthy individuals; usually used to assess the nutrient intakes of groups of people and to plan nutritionally adequate diets for them; can also be used to assess the nutrient intakes of individuals Many ready-to-eat breakfast cereals are fortified with iron, and some fruits and vegetables contain iron.Some cats are more vulnerable to flea anemia. Kittens are particularly vulnerable to flea anemia because of a variety of reasons. Obviously, they are a lot smaller than adult cats, and therefore have generally less blood to supply to the fleas. Kittens are also still developing, so they are overall just more vulnerable to health conditions, not just flea anemia. Senior cats are also particularly vulnerable. Their immune systems are no longer strong enough to withstand the serious blood loss that comes with anemia. As older pets, they are also more likely to develop even more health conditions, making your flea anemia problem even worse. Chronic Diseases: Some chronic diseases can lead to anemia of chronic inflammation, which can result in decreased iron availability for red blood cell production. In severe cases of iron-deficiency anemia or if a cat cannot tolerate oral supplements, a veterinarian might consider injectable iron or even blood transfusions. These alternatives can provide a faster response in critical situations but are generally used when oral supplementation isn’t feasible or effective.

Compared to meat products (such as liver, heart, and muscles), vegetables are low in iron. Cats need a high-protein diet, so feeding your cat vegetables or a diet with low levels of protein can lead to serious health issues, including iron deficiency. The daily recommended amount of iron for my cat Praline (3.7 kg) is 4.8 mg, the minimum requirement would be 4.08 mg. Women of reproductive age who have menorrhagia, or abnormally heavy bleeding during menstruation, are at increased risk of iron deficiency. At least 10% of menstruating women are believed to have menorrhagia, but the percentage varies widely depending on the diagnostic criteria used [ 46-48]. Women with menorrhagia lose significantly more iron per menstrual cycle on average than women with normal menstrual bleeding [ 49]. Limited evidence suggests that menorrhagia might be responsible for about 33% to 41% of cases of IDA in women of reproductive age [ 50, 51]. Frequent blood donorsNational Research Council. 2006. Nutrient Requirements of Dogs and Cats. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. Iron is mainly a component of the protein molecule hemoglobin, which is found in red blood cells, but also of the protein myoglobin, which is found in muscle. They both have a role in the transport of oxygen. Iron is also a component of several enzymes in the body that are important for energy metabolism. [1][2] Ferrous sulfate (brand names: Fer-In-Sol®, Feosol®) is a nutritional supplement used in cats and dogs to treat iron-deficiency anemia or as an iron supplement, usually in cases of chronic blood loss or during epoetin or darbepoetin therapy. Store the tablets at room temperature between 59°F to 86°F (15°C and 30°C), and store the liquid forms at room temperature between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C). Protect from light and moisture.
