Thank you, Dr. Jeff for the antibody test information. I am getting an antibody test on Fri. The information I have is that the test is approved by the FDA but I don't know the name of the test.

Thanks Dr. Jean.
She is doing better- ate a couple bites of food on her own today- finger fed the rest. BEAM is definitely better.
Gave another dose of Nux and continued the Probiocin.
I did not see diarrhea today- she usually goes on one end of the box. So, I will keep monitoring and...
Thanks Dr. Jean. Today is the 3rd day, and still not eating, but she is better overall.
My homeopathic vet recommended Nux last night. She slept on her own bed, and also had a long coughing episode during the night, which she hasn't had in a month.
But, at dawn she got up and had a...
I hadn't started working with her, so haven't tried any remedies except the aconite- I was waiting until her liver was retested.
One curious thing- I didn't actually see her catch the Pine Siskin yesterday, but somehow she has brought in birds from the enclosure before- usually they are still...
Hello Dr. Jeff and Dr.Christina,
I am continuing on this thread to remind you of the background of my cat, Gritzi.
Since her elevated liver values, I have been giving her a liver supplement (milk thistle for almost 4 weeks)
She had been doing great, eating well, taking her supplement in a...
I tried again, as it cools it is separating out- I read the directions wrong- you don't boil them together- just add epsom salts and stir- I think I will take the solid top layer off and try and use and next bottle do it differently.
thank you
Thanks Dr. Jeff- but I must've done something wrong- I had a 2oz glass spray bottle, so I only used 1/4 water and 1/4 epsom salts- boiled for a little bit, but as it was cooling, the salts started to form again, so boiled again and then poured in bottle, but it only made 1 oz and it will not...
Thanks, Dr. Jeff. Gritzi's BEAM seems good, except appetite has always been off and on. She tends to cough a couple hours before dawn. I am going to get an air purifier for the room.
She won't eat the food with a liver support supplement in it.
Have not started to work with a vet...
@Dr. Jeff and @Dr. Christina,
I also got Gritzi's lab results back and ALT was elevated 189 and AST was 114. Vet said it could be inflammation elsewhere...was going to try liver support herbs, but appetite is a little down, so is the coughing.
Thanks,
Alice
Hello Dr. Jeff and Dr. Christina,
I haven't heard any responses about my question about asthma in cats vs hairballs, if you can give me any information, I would appreciate it.
Alice
I took Gritzi in to the vet for a wellness exam/bloodwork. She seems to think the coughing may be due to asthma. Any thoughts on this? She said I can try giving her herbs such as astragalus...I told her I had Immune Balance with Larch, Moringa, colostrum, but not sure it would work for...
Thanks, Dr. Jean. I have given plain vaseline as well, but only the generic kind.
As far as the Pet Naturals, after the first day, she refused to eat anymore, so gave to my other cats. I did notice it was mostly psyllium, which I sprinkle daily on her food with water and sometimes pumpkin...
Thank you Dr. Jeff.
I just want to add that she gets fish oil daily and a sardine once a week.
I gave her butter for awhile and she liked that.
I recently bought Pet Naturals bite sized chews for hairballs. Need to give 8 a day for hairballs- I was able to get her to eat 8 yesterday, today...
