    Safe shampoo to use on cat with "stud tail"

    Jen, this is amazing! It is so easy and works incredibly well. For me, since Teddy is a Maine Coon cat and has long fur, it was a multi-step process – work some corn starch into the sticky area on his tail, wait a couple of minutes, and then comb it out (and keep repeating the process). But his...

    Safe shampoo to use on cat with "stud tail"

    My 13 ¾ old male Maine Coon cat is neutered, but he has “stud tail”. He has had it for about 1 ½ years. There is an area of seborrhea on the top of his tail about two inches from the base where the fur is very greasy and sticky. It is very painful for him if I try to comb it. I don't know if...

    Question about how I know it's time to try Solensia for arthritis

    Thanks for the reminder, Dr. Christina. I believe energy healing is one of the most important concepts, but for me it is also one of the most difficult to understand and learn. But, for Teddy's sake, I will keep on trying.

    Question about how I know it's time to try Solensia for arthritis

    Thank you, Dr. Jeff. We're taking him on Wednesday for a Solensia injection. I can't wait to see what it can do for him.

    Question about how I know it's time to try Solensia for arthritis

    I realized in mid-July that my 13 ¾ old male Maine Coon cat is suffering from arthritis. I tried various supplements, but nothing was helping. About 2 ½ weeks ago I started giving him Joint Support for Cats from Canna Companion USA (hemp CBD). It was explained to me that it may take 2-6 weeks...

    Teddy - Hyperthyroid Cat

    Thank you, Dr. Jean - I'm glad I asked! Dr. Christina, are you saying to include a homeopathic vet to help improve Teddy's health overall? Dr. Ila Tewari, Teddy's homeopathic vet, said she wasn't sure how to help get Teddy off the Methimazole, but she always emphasized that she focused on...

    Teddy - Hyperthyroid Cat

    Update: Last month, Teddy's T4 result was 2.3, so Dr. Stern lowered his Methimazole to 3/4 of a 5 mg. tablet twice a day and 35 drops of Sustenance Herbs Thyroid Support. I started that new dose on July 1. His T4 was just tested again today, and I was very disappointed that it has gone up to...

    Suspected Arthritis in Cat

    Thank you, Dr. Christina, for all the great suggestions. I will definitely tell Dr. Stern you said hello (I did get to hear her bear story a couple of months ago).

    Suspected Arthritis in Cat

    I believe my 13 ½ year old male Maine Coon cat has arthritis, and I am looking for direction on how to give him some immediate relief from his symptoms. Looking back, I believe there were gradual signs. In addition, his energy has been low for months, but we started him on some Ancestral...

    Teddy - cat - is Liqui-Tinic okay to give for anemia

    Thank you, Dr. Jeff and Dr. Jean! Yes, some of Teddy's numbers were off because he had very bad respiratory issues and had some time where he wasn't eating or drinking a couple of days before his blood work was done. He did have dehydration and stress, but we were able to get him through it...

    Teddy - cat - is Liqui-Tinic okay to give for anemia

    Thanks, Dr. Jeff! Here is the explanation of why the vet said Teddy is anemic: his total protein is 7.8 (normal is 5.2-8.8) and his albumin is 4.0 (normal is 2.5=3.9). His hematocrit is 34 (normal is 29-48). So, because his total protein and albumin were both on the high side and his hematocrit...

    Teddy - cat - is Liqui-Tinic okay to give for anemia

    My 13 1/2 year old male neutered Maine Coon cat just had complete blood work done. It was great to hear that his T4 level is down to 2.3, but the vet also said he is anemic (that might explain why he has had low energy for quite a while). She is recommending that I give him Liqui-Tinic. However...

    Teddy - cat - microbiome report questions

    My cat, Teddy, is a 13 ½ year old male neutered Maine Coon. I am trying to decide what he needs after his second microbiome report. I don't know why the sample was sent stating that he has no symptoms – that is incorrect. He has been and is still experiencing constipation. He scratches around...

    Teddy - Hyperthyroid Cat

    Yes, Teddy eats what I give him. His diet is: raw organic chicken hearts and raw organic ground chicken made with TC Feline premix; raw grass-fed ground beef made with TC Feline premix (next week I will be getting a hind quarter of grass fed beef from a local farmer and I will be cutting that...

    Teddy - Hyperthyroid Cat

    I attached all the other test results from Dr. Stern, as well as his most recent complete blood work report. When we were still taking him to the specialist (before I knew about homeopathy), they thought he had chronic rhinitis because of his respiratory symptoms (sniffly, snotty, sneezy...

    Teddy - Hyperthyroid Cat

    Thank you, Dr. Christina and Dr. Jeff and Dr. Jean for your answers, and Ginny for your encouragement. Dr. Stern from Healing Creatures called me today with Teddy's test results. I attached the Qest Report below and am hoping you can help me understand it better. It lists a lot of toxins and...

    Teddy - Hyperthyroid Cat

    Hi, Dr. Christina. I am in a much better state of mind now that Dr. Linda Stern of Healing Creatures Animal Hospital in Camp Hill, PA is Teddy's new integrative vet. I was very impressed after his first visit there on March 23. We were there for more than 1 1/2 hours; Dr. Stern had put a towel...

    Teddy - Hyperthyroid Cat

    My 13-year old male Maine Coon cat, Teddy, was diagnosed with hyperthyroid on 03/15/2022. At that time, his T4 level was 7.2. After one month on Felimazole 2.5 mg. twice a day, his T4 only went down to 6.1. After one month on Felimazole 5 mg. twice a day, his T4 went down to 1.1. However, his T4...
