Viral support for your cat
All cats are exposed to different viruses during their lives. Just as for humans, the younger or the older the animal, the greater it’s susceptibility to illness. When a feline’s immune system is battling a virus, the mouth, nasal passages, sinuses, and upper airways can be affected, breathing can become hampered, and airways can become increasingly blocked and congested.
Conventional vaccines are not recommended for young kittens or for pregnant queens, leaving these cats at a greater risk for ill health. Symptoms may be mild or severe, and are unpleasant for the poor animal. They are often similar to that of a head cold in humans, such as sneezing, nasal discharge, fever, rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes), runny eyes, and salivation. Ulceration of the tongue and palate are also regularly seen in cats. Lameness in cats, also known as limping syndrome, can also be a symptom. Feline health can be further hampered by secondary conditions.
Why the vaccine controversy?
In recent years, however, vaccination has become a controversial topic among veterinarians and pet owners. Recent studies have demonstrated that many vaccines are effective for several years, despite the common practice of "boosting" vaccines every year. For this reason, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) have developed vaccination guidelines recommending that anti-viral vaccinations generally be administered every 3 years (after completion of the kitten series of boosters).
Given the studies documenting long-term efficacy and the creation of vaccine guidelines by authoritative organizations like the AAFP, many veterinarians have adjusted their vaccine schedules. Some practitioners offer blood tests that measure the cat's levels of protective antibodies to determine which cats need to be vaccinated more frequently.
The natural way
When a cat’s immune system is fighting foreign invaders treatment consists greatly of supportive care. Meticulous cleaning of the eyes and nose must be done. Force-feeding is carried out if the cat isn’t eating and fluids will be administered to balance fluids in the body especially in the case of a fever or flu. Antibiotics may also be given if needed.
Natural remedies can have an important role to play in lessening common symptoms and promoting quicker recovery in a gentle, safe manner. There are many remedies that can quickly help to relieve common symptoms of cat flu such as sneezing, coughing, and other respiratory problems.
Alternative forms of common vaccines can also be safely used to provide your cat with systemic support for the future– especially for kittens and pregnant queens who should not receive the conventional vaccine. Remember to consult your vet for details.

How do I use FCV Protect?
Directions:
Preventative: Sprinkle one pinch on the tongue once a day for three days, beginning at 12 weeks. Repeat annually, or when your cat has been exposed to possible infection. When there is risk of infection, FCV Protect may be administered to kittens younger than 12 weeks.
Acute: Sprinkle one pinch on the tongue every two hours or until symptoms subside.
This remedy is safe even for newborn kittens and pregnant queens.
CAUTION: Please consult your veterinarian should symptoms persist. While some viral infections lend themselves to home treatment, others like the Feline Calicivirus (especially when the cat is anorexic) should ideally be monitored by your vet
FCV Protect is highly recommended along with the following natural remedies for maximum effectiveness:
-
Panleuk-Free™ is used to support the immune system and encourage a healthy gastrointestinal tract.

How long until I see results?

During an acute feline flu, fever, or respiratory congestion, improvement should be noticed within 5-10 doses. Over time, FCV Protect will act in a supportive capacity to systemic balance and harmony.
How long will a bottle last?
One bottle of FCV Protect (20g) lasts for approximately 30 days depending on frequency of use.
