To Becky Cain >why is nutrical "for veterinary use only"? Don't know. I hate the taste. Usually I give it to the animals. Thee's no real reason - vets like to see that on the label. I suppose if you fed a couple of tubes to your cat, you may cause hypervitaminosis A (DEK are the other vitamins that build up - the B's and C are ater soluble and the body excretes what it doesn't use each day in the urine...) [Moderator's note: I believe "veterinary use only" doesn't mean "veterinarian use only", but rather, "animal use only". In other words, the product hasn't been approved for use in humans.
