Has he been tested for worms or even (eek) feline hiv.<BR/><BR/>Home remedies that have worked on my fur kids: Garlic. Excellent for their immune system and an anti parasitic Try and get as much of that down them as possible. Put it in their food and their water. <BR/><BR/>Cod liver oil, an all round tonic. They don't need much convincing to eat that.<BR/><BR/>I know this sounds strange, but try sauerkraut. It has to be the real stuff, the ingredients must say cabbage and salt, nothing else. Chop it up in his food, try to get him to have a small amount every other day. Its full of probiotic stuff that can help mend a damaged immune system and its full of vitamins that will help give him energy.<BR/><BR/>I hope that helps. Even better, I hope he's already better.<BR/>Cheers<BR/>EmmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955688931665386368.post-48047202592135259912008-04-27T21:20:00.000-05:002008-04-27T21:20:00.000-05:00Hi Jill!

She used this:<BR/><BR/>http://www.pethealthymeds.com/page/dog-sinus-infection-cat-sinus-infection<BR/><BR/>Now, personally I don't know much about it, but it is apparently all natural and the FAQ at the bottom has all the ingredients in it and it seems to be pretty legit! It looks promising, but I would just do some further research on it. <BR/>Good luck with the porkchop! =)Mikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981225373774848652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955688931665386368.post-34736949743663941822008-04-27T14:18:00.000-05:002008-04-27T14:18:00.000-05:00well, I took him to the emergency vet early this a...well, I took him to the emergency vet early this a.m. He does have a Respiratory Infection. But we have to figure out why. He got a chest xray. There might be something in his lung.They can't be positive. He needs an ultrasound and maybe a nasal scope to get cultures. I don't want to put him thru that stuff, but every vet I've consulted...even a holistic vet...says we have to have a proper diagnosis to make sure we are treating him the right way. He's on antibiotics. Plus, I steamed him really well in the bathroom while I was taking a shower. they recommended a few of those a day. The steaming sessions, I mean. It's supposed to help break up his congestion and help with his blocked nose.<BR/>Thanks for your input Mia.Jill Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15509422922384561500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955688931665386368.post-6652059500351803062008-04-27T13:08:00.000-05:002008-04-27T13:08:00.000-05:00sometimes cats get allergies--could it be that?sometimes cats get allergies--could it be that?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03162474204678155033noreply@blogger.com
