Copper is an essential micronutrient that the body needs in small amounts to function properly, and is labeled as essential because the body cannot produce on its own. Copper is not toxic to cats in appropriate amounts, and only has the potential to becomes toxic if ingested in excessive amounts. A daily intake of 5 mg or copper per kilogram (2.2 lbs) of cat food is recommended and there is no upper limit established. The ChlorOxygen supplement provides 2 mg of copper in 18 drops. For a ten pound cat the recommended dosage would be one drop 2x daily and this equates to a serving of .2mg (that is point 2) of copper daily. You can see this amount of copper is quite low and indicates a safe supplement for your cat. I am sorry to hear about your cat's cancer diagnosis, and I recommend our Mushroom Immunity PLUS supplement to see if that can help promote your cat's immune system activity.
