Please repost your question with additional information on Lisa--- please let us know what Lisa's health problem is and why you were told to give her an iron supplement. If she needs it due to anemia, it may be ok, however if she is not iron deficient, then giving it could be very bad for her. We want to be sure we are giving you sound advice, and above all we DO NOT want to advise you to do something that may harm your pet. Therefore, without knowing more about Lisa we can't tell you whether or not its ok to give it-- ideally including lab work information, etc. Free of charge, you can post another question on the forum with more complete information on whats going on. If you do this, please repost the pictures as well, as the forum doesn't allow us to selectively search back through questions so your new post needs to be able to stand alone with information. Alternatively, you can pay a relatively small fee for a consultation, where we can exchange information back and forth in more of a conversational manner. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

    Can you please expand on what the underlying medical condition is that your vet is trying to treat with iron supplementation? In my 15 years of practice I have never had anyone do this. We may be able to help you better if you can expand as to what is going on. Is Lisa anemic?
