Rehmannia 8

My kitty has been on a holistic regimen since she got sick last October with renal failure. She is doing much better and her chemistry levels went down considerably from her initial tests. I would like to know Rehmannia 8 is a lifelong supplement to be given safely now that she is doing better?
Also, I was giving her Coq10 (60 mg) and would like to know if its meant to be given every day or every OTHER day or...?

Yes.  Rehmannia 8 should be continued for the life of the patient.  Co-Q10 should be give daily at a dose of 1 mg per pound, therefore a 10 pound patient should be given approximately 10 mg.

Thank you for answering my questions. I had another kitty-a 19 yr old- that i was treating for renal failure. i gave him all the holistic supplements i was giving the 15 yr old. but i might have given him too much CoQ10 60mg bioavailable for his 10-13 lb weight???! He was pretty sick but he did stay with us for awhile longer.
