Yes, I agree. Even severly emaciated animals do not need the system stress on vital organs with supplements. This would be similiar to someone who is severly dehydrated. You do not give them lots of water right away. You slowly allow the system to readjust with very small portions of water. Supplements ae just that, supplements. They are additions to nutrients that the diet already supplies. Most supplements are made up of a majority of fillers with very little active ingrediant. Even the active ingrediant is not 100% metabolized and is mostly flushed from the system. Typically,less than 5% of suppliments is metabolized and useful on a healthy system. A stressed system is far less likely to metabolize the supplement.
