Iron-deficiency anemia, the most common form of anemia, is a decrease in the number of red blood cells caused by too little iron. Without sufficient iron, your body can't produce enough hemoglobin, a substance in red blood cells that makes it possible for them to carry oxygen to the body's tissues.ron in plant foods such as lentils, beans, and spinach is nonheme iron. This is the form of iron added to iron-enriched and iron-fortified foods. Our bodies are less efficient at absorbing nonheme iron, but most dietary iron is nonheme iron. 1  1.
Newborn kittens are tiny and cute, but they grow up startlingly quickly. Many female kittens actually will have their first heats as young as 4 months. To spare your sweet little furball any possibility of pregnancy so young, you can consider spaying as early as 8 weeks old.
Here we cover when to spay a cat. The recommended age for having a female cat spayed is just before they reach sexual maturity, around 5-8 months. They should weigh at least 2 pounds at the time of the procedure. Spaying is recommended for female kittens before their first heat when possible. Signs of female heat will be obvious. If your young cat goes into heat before youâre able to have her spayed, keep her indoors, wait until the heat passes, and have her spayed just after.
