I hadn’t realised that the bottle contained capsules – I thought they were pills which I’d have to crush but this was easier.

According to that site I found with the dosage instructions, Muis needs to have 1/4 capsule per day

Transfer Factor Advanced Formula Plus — Small Animals 1-40 lb. One quarter to one capsule daily

but I was also mindful of the instruction on the same site

Note: Some veterinarians start animals on a small amount of Transfer Factor Plus for 3 consecutive days to make sure to not overwhelm the immune system, and increase the dose gradually.

I was pottering around the internet, looking to see what else would be good for Muis to boost her system and came across a product called Transfer Factor Plus.

It sounds like it’s a wonder supplement and there are all sorts of glowing testimonials about how this product helped all kinds of dogs and cats to recover from serious conditions.

There was also a testimonial from a lady who used Transfer Factor Plus on her ferret and it helped her ferret to recover from serious illness…

not yet gone but it’s getting there …!

My poor little lady

As you can see from the photos, she’s losing more and more hair.

Can anyone tell me how long it’ll take before the melatonin kicks in and restores her hair?  

I mean, I certainly don’t care if she is totally bald, as long as she’s in as good shape as possible, but I do worry about her feeling chilly or uncomfortable without her coat.

Apart from going bald, she seems in pretty good spirits.

It came on Friday and I started her on it immediately.

The instructions said to give it to her twice a day, which I did, but after a couple of days I heard her retching and trying to throw up so I thought I’d stop the evening dose.

I emailed Kamila and asked her advice and she agreed with what I did, saying that the formula was fairly strong and if I was also giving Muis her melatonin tablet every day, it would be fine to just give her the TCM once a day.

Great timing too … it was delivered yesterday afternoon so I managed to give it to Muis before the 9 hour from sunrise deadline. Phew

I put the tablet in a small mortar and pulverised it with the pestle, then mixed it with the Whiskas pet milk and gave it to her ladyship. She drank up the liquid, no problem. That was about 4pm, which is around about the time I normally give her her prednisone and also a small saucer filled with the pet milk mixed with Poly-MVA, which she shares with Angus.
