did someone mention cranberry extract? I've seen that in treats. How does that work then?
It is the sugar in Cranberry that can help bacterial cystitis (not heard of it being used for dental, although maybe it works in the same way
). It is called d-mannose. It sticks to the walls of the urinary tract and prevents e.coli from sticking to it, so it gets flushed through before it gets a chance to colonise.....apparently
(we did this in animal biology last year)

As for the Zylkene, no idea how they give it - probably in a lump of meat
We visited WHF last year and they told us about the Zylkene - also that Vicky Halls was treating the tiger as well
I'm all ears when they talk cat
(we did a genetics thing on Florida cougars in Breeding & genetics today
)
