    Reba cat swallowed dental floss

    Yes, the floss was coated but some of the coating is of questionable content. Ingredients: Virgin Coconut Oil, Carnauba Wax, Peppermint Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Erythritol, Soft Nylon. And, in the description it refers to the nylon as "expanding nylon". I rubbed some coconut oil on her legs, and she...

    Reba cat swallowed dental floss

    Reba is an 11 year old domestic short hair. She has an obsessive/compulsive behavior of chewing on strings -- picking them out of quilting or hems if she can't find one dangling already. This morning I found an empty dental floss package. I used the floss last night and know that there was at...

    Feeding Cat with Pancreatitis

    Coat is great - soft an silky. She has put about a half pound back on during the 11 days of good eating. Last Lach dose I used 15 successions. The previous were 10. Her BEAM has continued to decline despite yesterday's Lach -- Last night was when she started the hiding head in...

    Feeding Cat with Pancreatitis

    I need some advice on feeding a cat with pancreatitis/triad disease and some degree of hepatic lipidosis. She was diagnosed 2 weeks ago after a couple of false starts. Her illness became evident 5 weeks ago (Jan 8). It started with vomiting and appetite loss. Her current treatment is eating...

    Remedy for Rabbit Virus?

    It' a hemorrhagic virus. I found the following in Wikipedia. No one in our neighborhood has reported any obvious outward symptoms. They just find the bunnies dead. "RHD can vary in the rate clinical signs occur. In peracute cases, rabbits are usually found dead with no premonitory symptoms.[12]...

    Remedy for Rabbit Virus?

    I live in a semi-rural area where I enjoy lots of wildlife. Over the past 4 years that I have lived here the rabbit population has been severely diminished by the rampant virus that is affecting a large section of the country. This year the population seemed to be bouncing back, but neighbors...

    How to Help a Kitty With Skin Irritation -

    Lily is recovering again. She has had 2 doses of sulphur 30c. About 5 days after the second dose she started moving around more and in a couple of days more her appetite really picked up (It never was really bad). She is not quite back to full energy, and her back feet are still blistered and...

    Vomiting kitties

    There has been no more vomiting since that first day. Now she is eating better, but not like her old self. I’ve been complementing her food with some goat’s milk, which I discovered she loves. She also had a three days of early morning sneezing — early like 3-6 am — and then none the rest of the...

    How to Help a Kitty With Skin Irritation -

    Not a good day for Lily. The plan was a goat milk fast today. She didn’t come for breakfast. I took her to the milk. She drank some, 1-2 oz, and stopped. She crawled into a play tunnel and stayed there for hours. I offered her milk in the Tunnel twice and she refused. In the tunnel she t or...

    Update on Lily. Her condition has deteriorated again. After the last post and another dosing with lycopodeum she was soon back to her usual energetic self. Then in late October the ducking began occasionally and some excema appeared on her chin. I gave her another dose of lycopodium November 1...

    Vomiting kitties

    Today Merrily did not eat well — only about half her normal at each meal. But, her behavior is back to normal. Hoping for more normal eating tomorrow.

    Vomiting kitties

    Merrily was pretty quiet the rest of the day, but she ate a small supper without hesitation. I didn’t want to push a lot on her. This morning she is brighter — more herself, but it’s not breakfast time yet. When I found Merrily she appeared to be pregnant, but the kittens never came. She was...

    Vomiting kitties

    I don’t know Merrill’s age. She has been with me for almost 3 years. She was full grown when I found her. So, she is at least 4, and I suspect older. I just don’t know how much older. No prior vomiting or GI problems. Her previous problems were generally urinary tract. Her spaying (before I...

    Vomiting kitties

    Yesterday Merrily, one of my (many) cats, was slow to eat breakfast. We added a “topper” of crumbled dried turkey livers, and she ate with gusto. Then she vomited it all back up. A few hours later she was vomiting again. Then she vomited or dry heaved again in the afternoon. I withheld supper...

    How to Help a Kitty With Skin Irritation -

    An update on Lily. Dr. Jeff recommended a series of 5 days of lycopodium 30c, which she finished 9 days ago. As mentioned in my last post, the skin problems started to clear and her energy rose. Now, activity wise, I estimate she's about 85% back and still rising. No more sleeping away the days...

    How to Help a Kitty With Skin Irritation -

    I wanted to share a question that arose in my last appointment with Dr. Jeff and his answer. I had the understanding that one should see symptoms disappear in the reverse order of appearance. For Lily, symptoms started in her ears and between her ears, then her eyes and paw pads, and finally hot...

    Little Lily completed 3 days of dosing with lycopodium 30c. From the first day she became more interactive. She came to me for pets just a few hours after the first dosing. The next day she came and sat on my lap for more than an hour, purring, until I had to move. When I pet her, she rolls over...

    Thank-you, Dr. Christina. I needed the encouragement. Thanks also for the suggestions about what to ask Kate. That gives me some way to feel useful while I wait!

    How to Help a Kitty With Skin Irritation -

    Generally, I feel helpless as I watch my formerly joyful kitty retreat. She growls whenever I touch her. Behavior and physical observations: On Monday she seemed really hot to touch. In the morning she was very growly, but in the evening she came to me to sit in my lap, and she purred. At...
