It has been recommended I use a Biomat to alleviate my older cat's anxiety. However, upon checking, they are QUITE expensive, even the "mini". Are there any products out there that might have benefits for anxiety as well? (perhaps such as Assisi products or Earthing mat products?) Does...
@Dr. Jeff
Correction info for your records: Arsenica album 6 c dosing (1 pellet/1 cup H20, 10 whacks/qtip swabbed gums) 9/24, late 9/25, and lastly 9/28. Sorry for the confusion, Dr. Jeff. Thanks! Deb

Dr. Sue,
Thank you for your suggestions.
Would it be possible to do a consult via zoom or phone to go over therapeutic diets out there and supplements as to which ones might be most appropriate, if you are taking on any new clients ? I have ordered the feline renal from...
Dr. Sue,
Thank you for the suggestions. Question, her stools have only some to no form at all and right now she is going about 4 x a day ranging from 50% formed to "cow pies". She is already on Aventi Kidney phosphate binder with the dry food, although I am unable to get the full dose down...
Dr. Jeff,
I hope Dr. Sue does too!
Per our conversation yesterday, I had already started to try to get some additional wet food into Lucy's daily ration starting yesterday am. From then to now, there has been a 50% worsening in regard to her stools with increasing frequency as well as...

My cat Lucy is a patient of Dr. Jeff's. He suggested I reach out to you regarding Standard Process Supplements and supplements and diet in general. Lucy is in Stage 2 renal failure and we are not having any success at the moment in halting its progression. She has IBD as well...

Dr. Jeff,
we have been giving Lucy (IBS kitty) a very small amount, 1/8 tsp, of the fiber supplement (fiber detox) once a day, that you recommended; it seems to be making her stool partially runny. (most of BM is firm but ends as soft/runny). Should I continue and see what happens or...
Dr. Jeff,
Not at present, though we would be open to that certainly. We are waiting for your digestive supplement to arrive that we ordered last week per your suggestion. Any homeopathic remedy out there that you think might help as well? Thanks as always, Deb
Question on using herbal supplements and homeopathic remedies. For her IBS we have been giving her an herbal remedy to help her stool, which it does improve it by firming it up. We also give her an herbal supplement to support her kidney function. I would like to try a remedy for her...
Dr. Jeff,
She is not much of a game player, though a very occasional romp with a mouse toy or catnip toy once or twice a week is about it. We have a window bird feeder, she pays no attention. wand games don't seem to interest her. She would play a bit more a few years ago, but now she...
She is still on the transdermal prozac....certainly NOT constipated. As mentioned earlier she is on 2 herbal supplments "pet alive kidney support" and "Pet WellBeing BM tone up". The "tone up" seems to help sometimes. Other times we have to give her a dose of NutriVet antidiarrhea liquid...
Thanks Dr Jeff for your comments. Yes, she is usually in some state of anxiety. Most of the time she walks around with her tail lowered. She did hide from strangers until we put her on transdermal fluoxetine a while back. Now she is much improved in the "visitor department" and other...
We have a 15 year old adopted neutered female, who has had anxiety issues/IBS since we adopted her 11 years ago. We didn't recognize that she had IBS until several years ago when she started with blood in her stool. Our vet advised not to worry to much about it unless it became more severe...
