Bloodwork probably wouldn't be useful. Better to concentrate on the Happiness Protocol and making life feel good and safe for him. Flower essences could be extremely helpful, and EFT could really benefit him too.

Hi Brenda. I am not anywhere I can do the conversions but from what I can tell these numbers do not seem that bad. Lipase is worthless in cats. Don’t know why they bother! Micromanaging for individual blood values is unrewarding and can create other problems elsewhere. As Dr Jeff said, focus on...

1. Chamomile is mildly anti-anxiety and used as a sleep aid 2. Flaxseeds good for GI issues. Not necessary and no particular benefit otherwise 3. Raw turmeric not absorbed unless cooked/black pepper added. Prepared properly is good for inflammation e.g., arthritis 4. Watermelon too high in...

No it’s fine. Very commonly used. If the penicillin family is not working it’s the next logical option.

Silver is not going to penetrate deeply, and in my experience is an unreliable antibiotic. Honey will draw out the discharge, silver won't. The smell is a bad sign though, implying a deep infection. If it gets through the abdominal wall that would be very serious. So yes, do get her...

Sure, you could try that, probably at least on medium, and see how she tolerates it. Dry heat isn't quite as effective but it will certainly help.

Great job being proactive and getting things lined up ahead of time!

This happened to me with the incision for my knee replacement--a suture popped through and the thing got infected. Hot compresses and a honey bandage worked perfectly. Honey has amazing healing properties and will draw the nasties out from the incision. Sometimes less is more! You'd be...

Well Bach is the original, but Flower Essence Society's formula is fine (and I prefer to support them as a company... Nelson Bach is a little too arrogant IMO). Personally I use Stress Stopper (since I formulated it) because it's like a turbo Rescue remedy. But Jerome may not need that much of a...

Olive oil spray is fine, usually it's just oil, no additives.

Hi, I finally have computer access to respond! I agree with everything Drs. Christina and Jeff have said. The precise medical diagnosis is irrelevant, it wouldn't change what you are doing anyway. It sounds like you are already doing a great job, concentrating on making his life as joyful and...

Unsalted butter or ghee are also fine, the butyric acid is a great post-biotic with many health benefits. I am not a fan of coconut oil for cats, they do not need any of the fats it contains.

Yea I have used that download processor for years. They keep changing their name and I can’t keep up Lol.

I cannot find a previous post on this, can you provide the standard information (age, symptoms, BEAM, etc.), any notes from the veterinarian or radiologist? I'm terrible at reading radiographs but these don't seem to be very clear.

Funny you should mention the Tractor Supply pellets, simce I have a bag of them in my tent for my camping potty. They smell very strongly of pine to me, so there are clearly plenty of volatile oils still present. I do like the grass seed litter myself. The feed corn used for litter is GMO so...

Lightly cooking to me means exactly what you’re doing… a little bit of pink. Heat will denature enzymes and destroy B vitamins so I would add a little extra of those as it cools, just before feeding. Also add back a little bit of water (or broth etc) since that is the main thing cooking takes...

Hi Caroline! I agree with what’s been said already. The one thing I would add is to ditch the pine litter. Pine oils are very irritating to the respiratory tract, no matter the claims to the contrary. There is no such thing as low dust or 99% dust free (compared to what??). Here’s my take on...

Hi Sheena! Wow you have a lot going on! I had a cat with Addison's, so I understand what you're going through! One thing I found to be very important for him was raw meat, in particular steak cut up small (he also had hemophilia so getting a lot of iron into him to combat the anemia was...

I answered this in the other thread, but I am fine with HPP. Safety first!

I don't personally have a problem with HPP, and in the current environment, I am glad they're making that decision. Customer opinions are far less important than science and safety!
