Thanks. Perhaps you can help me in my Microbiology class I have coming up?

Marvellous, a vet who hands out biology tutorials to her patients' owners.

I wonder if the cat survived? She was wrong. Vitamin C is synthesised by most vertebrates in sufficient quantity that they don't require it in their diet.

(Prosser, C. (ed.). 1973. Comparative animal physiology. 3rd ed. W. B. Saunders, Philadelphia)

Humans on the other hand grow very ill without it, and will eventually die. Hence my national nickname in the states; Limey, due to the Royal Navy preventing scurvy in its sailors by issuing citrus fruits. This practice greatly increased the practicality and safety of long ocean voyages, which indirectly along with the marine chronometer made Darwin's voyage on the Beagle possible.

Your vet is a nitwit.

Although vitamin supplements are sold for cats and dogs, I challenge you to find a veterinary organization that recommends vitamin C supplements for housecats.

I have two 16 year old housecats that have never had anything but Cat Chow.

Your post writer is a nitwit.

Her diagnosis must have been accurate, since her treatment was effective.
