    Bathe senior cat with oily coat and mats?

    Drs. Jean and Jeff - your feedback was so helpful! I immediately ordered a pkg. of flea combs and got them today - used in short up-combs on Zozo's matted paws, and the mats came out easily. Of course, much was due to Zozo's trust and ability to stand still (without squirming or complaining)...

    Bathe senior cat with oily coat and mats?

    Thank you. Ordered the TRANQUILITY and flea combs. No rush, but a good start. Hopefully, Dr. Jeff (our long time vet) can come through with gabapentin.

    Bathe senior cat with oily coat and mats?

    Dr. Jean, okay to use Feliway for composure? The chews will be difficult…she never liked chew treats. Of course, I can try to break them up and either give like a pill, or break up and put in food (raw diet mostly). I have used Rescue Remedy. I would like to use the gabapentin for one...

    Bathe senior cat with oily coat and mats?

    My 18-1/2 yr old Zozo has developed an oily coat and some mats on her front paws, as well as an odor. She does not groom anymore, and I fear this condition is not healthy. I would greatly appreciate some feedback on if/how to bathe her and what cat shampoo to use if bathingg is recommended (and...

    Structured Water Addendum

    Kim, it is hard to tell about any changes in my cat (Zozo). I lost Sophie to cancer a month ago…she was almost 18. Zozo just turned 17…she is more energetic (for a lazy cat), which may be a combination of homeopathy and the extra hydration? I have to think she has benefited, as I know I have.

    Structured Water Addendum

    As a background to what I am writing about, Dr. Jeff asked me to post this addendum to a conversation on structured water that is found in Other Complementary Therapies originally posted on 2/26/2022. I ordered a machine - Vitalizer Plus - the end of March this year and began using it daily for...

    Structured water synopsis

    Ginny - the Vitalizer Plus is working great! The water is refreshing and the VP is easy to use (it even keeps count of the minutes used and lets you know when to replace the mineral cube…at 4200 minutes). I am very satisfied with it. I bought it from a company on Amazon ($499+tax…free...

    Coconut oil - traditional vs. liquid

    I just read the following article on coconut and want to share it on the Forum. Looks like I’ll stay with the traditional… https://healthytraditions.com/pages/liquid-coconut-oil-and-mct-oil

    Shih Tzu got his first bone and loved it, but...

    Perhaps Ginny and Dr. Jean’s responses might benefit a lot of new and old members if posted as a discussion on feeding any kinds of bones to a dog?

    Cat with tumor has appetite, but is losing weight

    Dr. Jean - thank you so much for your reply to my post about Sophie. Will the fish or green-lipped mussel oils help increase her weight, as she may convert them easier? Do you prefer one over the other? The NZ mussel oil seemed a good choice online, but am not sure if I can order or if it has...

    Cat with tumor has appetite, but is losing weight

    Thank you for replying, Dr Jeff. I give her a lot of food and let her eat as much/little as she wants. I am adding about 1/4 tsp. olive oil - and now coconut oil - to her food. She does not like flax oil, but I will start to add chia oil. She does like sardines in water - I hesitate to give...

    Cat with tumor has appetite, but is losing weight

    Sophie is 17 years old. She has been diagnosed with a liver tumor (unknown if benign or malignant). Surgery is out of the question. Our problem is she has a good appetite - asks for food 3-4 times a day, although her appetite has switched from raw chicken, turkey & grass-fed beef to poached...
