<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Treatment of
<i>A abstrusus</i> infection with off-label parasiticides has been described in
research papers and textbooks. For example, the use of <b>ivermectin</b> for
treating <i>aelurostrongylosis</i> is reported in single animals and limited
case series, but this macrolactone has inconsistent activity. Two doses are
described for off-label <b>ivermectin</b>, but care is required in kittens. Two
doses of off-label abamectin, 300 µg/kg subcutaneously (SC), 2 weeks apart,
have also been used for treating <i>A abstrusus</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Several
studies have evaluated the efficacy and safety of feline parasiticides against <i>A
abstrusus</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">An oral
paste containing 18.75% fenbendazole (<b>Panacur</b>; MSD Animal Health) is
licensed in some countries (eg, UK) for the treatment of <i>A abstrusus</i> at
a dosage of 50 mg/kg PO for 3 consecutive days, and this treatment regimen has
an efficacy of 99.29%. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Two spot-on
parasiticides, one containing imidacloprid 10% and moxidectin 1% (<b>Advocate</b>;
Bayer Animal Health), and the other containing emodepside 2.1% and praziquantel
8.6% (<b>Profender</b>; Bayer Animal Health), were compared with the
formulation containing oral fenbendazole in treating feline <i>aelurostrongylosis</i>.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The emodepside 2.1%/praziquantel 8.6%
spot-on (<b>Profender</b>) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and the
fenbendazole paste showed similar therapeutic performances (99.38% vs 99.29%),
while the imidacloprid 10%/moxidectin 1% spot-on (<b>Advocate</b>) was 100%
effective in stopping larval shedding and in curing clinical signs. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This formulation (<b>Advocate</b>) is licensed
in some markets (eg, Australia) for the treatment of cat <i>aelurostrongylosis</i>.
Additionally, the adulticidal efficacy of emo depside has been demonstrated in
two randomised, placebo-controlled experimental trials to be up to 99.2%. These
studies showed that two spot-on administrations of emodepside 2 weeks apart are
safe and efficacious against cat <i>aelurostrongylosis</i>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Another
macrocyclic lactone, selamectin (<b>Stronghold</b>; Zoetis), used topically at
18 mg/kg, reduced clinical signs after a single spot-on administration, while a
second dose after 1 month ensured improvement in respiratory function and
radiographic bronchial lesions. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Selamectin at a topical dose of 6 mg/kg was
effective in eliminating larvae from the faeces of a cat after 30 days; the
same drug was effective in producing a clinical recovery and stopping larval
shedding in 9/10 cats infected with <i>A abstrusus</i>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Milbemycin
oxime 4 mg/kg (plus praziquantel 10 mg/kg) (<b>Milbemax</b>; Novartis Animal
Health) PO at 2 week intervals was also effective in stopping L1 elimination
and resulted in resolution of clinical signs over a period of 6 weeks in a cat
with clinical <i>aelurostrongylosis</i>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">A novel
topical formulation containing fipronil 8.3% w/v, (S)-methoprene 10% w/v,
eprinomectin 0.4% w/v and praziquantel 8.3% w/v (<b>Broadline</b>; Merial) was
evaluated for efficacy against larval and adult <i>A abstrusus</i> in
experimentally infected cats. This formulation is licensed in some countries
for the treatment of <i>A abstrusus</i>. Using treatment time points based on
the life cycle of <i>A abstrusus</i> in the cat (ie, from inoculated L3s to
adult stages), the study demonstrated that eprinomectin has high efficacy
against all <i>A abstrusus</i> stages; for example, 99.6% efficacy against
adult stages in the feline definitive host. In cats naturally infected with <i>A
abstrusus</i>, this formulation showed 90.5% efficacy based on larval counts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">T

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Information
on control options for <i>troglostrongylosis</i> in domestic cats is
incomplete. The adminis - tration of imidacloprid 10%/moxidectin 1% (<b>Advocate</b>)
in a cat appeared unsuccessful, but this may have been due to the severe
clinical signs and extensive lung lesions already present at the point of
referral. A kitten infected with <i>T brevior</i> returned negative scores upon
both copromicroscopic and biomolecular examinations for 3 months after a single
administration of <b>Advocate</b> and showed a corresponding improvement in
severe cardiorespiratory signs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">A single
administration of milbemycin oxime 2 mg/kg (<b>Milbemax</b>) was efficacious in
stopping larval shedding in one cat with a subclinical mixed infection of <i>A
abstrusus</i> and <i>T brevior</i>, but the same drug was effective only
against <i>A abstrusus</i> in another cat from the same litter, which died due
to infection with <i>T brevior</i> despite the treatment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The topical
formulation containing emodepside 2.1%/praziquantel 8.6% (<b>Profender</b>)
recently showed promise in the treatment of two kittens with mixed lungworm
infections (<i>T brevior</i> and either <i>A abstrusus</i> or <i>C aerophila</i>).
Respiratory signs resolved after one or two administrations of the spot-on
solution, and larval (<i>T brevior </i>and<i> A abstrusus</i>) and egg (<i>C
aerophila</i>) shedding was also eliminated 2–4 weeks after treatment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The spot-on
containing eprinomectin (<b>Broadline</b>) proved 100% efficacious in stopping
larval shedding in a few cats with natural <i>T brevior</i> infection. It
recently showed 100% efficacy against developing larvae and adults of <i>T
brevior</i> under experimental conditions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">C
aerophila <o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Available
data on the treatment of <i>C aerophila</i> infection in cats include reports
on the efficacy of repeated administrations of a variety of dosages of
injectable or oral <b>levamisole</b> and off-label <b>abamectin</b>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Importantly,
the spot-on formulation containing moxidectin 1% (<b>Advocate</b>), which was
efficacious against <i>aelurostrongylosis</i>, demonstrated ~99.8% efficacy in
stopping egg shedding and eliminating clinical signs in cats with lung <i>capillariosis</i>.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The safety
and efficacy of the topical combination containing eprinomectin (<b>Broadline</b>)
was evaluated against helminths, including <i>Capillaria</i> species, in
domestic cats. An efficacy of 99.6% in reducing counts of <i>Capillaria</i>
eggs was reported after treatment. Although no morphological identification of
the eggs was performed, it was assumed that the vast majority were <i>C
aerophila</i>. A very recent study has demonstrated that a single treatment
with <b>Broadline</b> in naturally infected cats is able to reduce the <i>C
aerophila</i> parasite burden and to lower or eliminate faecal egg shedding.
Continued from page 14 Any respiratory sign in an at-risk cat (eg, free-roaming
or kitten) should ring an alarm bell for clinicians working in lungwormendemic
areas or with travelling pets. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In
general, easy-to-apply topical parasiticides are a suitable choice for treating
cat lungworms, because of safety and ease of administration, especially when
multiple dosing is required.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

Da! Animalele pot fi pacienti excelenti iar eficacitatea remediilor la animale este dovedita. Mai mult, claritatea cu care acestea raspund la remedii este o dovada in plus ca nu putem vorbi despre efect placebo in homeopatie.

In some cases the disease becomes refractory enough to treatment that either subtotal colectomy or euthanasia have to be considered. The problem is thought to be caused by underlying metabolic problems in some patients such as kidney disease or other issues that generally result in dehydration. These are however relatively rare and do not generally cause clinical signs. Most clinical cases of recurrent constipation/obstipation are idiopathic in nature. Pelvic abnormalities and strictures represent some of the occasional causes of this problem that can be identified with work up as is nerve trauma to the sacral region. Megacolon represents the extreme manifestation of obstipation/constipation. In cats with megacolon abnormal smooth muscle cell function of the colon has been detected though this was in cats with advanced disease so it is uncertain if this was truly the cause or a manifestation of chronic constipation.</span></span></div>

<span class="article-articlebody" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0px 0px 0px;">The consequences of constipation/obstipation usually are metabolic derangements. With prolonged problems endotoxemia and even death can occur. Long term this can also lead to megacolon, though in many cases megacolon can occur without a clear history of constipation/obstipation.</span></div>

<span class="article-articlebody" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0px 0px 0px;">A variety of treatments have been recommended for the constipated/obstipated cat as well as the cat with megacolon.</span><div style="border: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0px 0px 0px;">

<span class="article-articlebody" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0px 0px 0px;">When initially presented relieving the constipation is indicated. This can be done with a variety of ways, whereby manual disimpaction is the least "nice" of the options and should be reserved for refractory cases. Enemas can often be helpful to help to moisten dried out feces. In general 5 to 10 ml/kg of warm water can be given as an enema. Alternatively smaller volumes of DSS (5 to 10 ml total dose) can be given, though this is more irritating. This can be supplemented with oral lactulose and fluid therapy to maximize efficacy.</span></div>

<span class="article-articlebody" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0px 0px 0px;">Recently we have adapted the use of PEG solutions administered via NE tube to help relieve obstipated/constipated cats. This is similar to methods used in humans. We give PEG solution as a slow trickle via NE tube (4 to 18 hours). This generally results in defecation within 6 to 12 hours. Obviously before embarking on this therapy it is wise to rule out obstructions of the GI tract that would make passing feces difficult or impossible. To date we have not had any significant adverse side effects and have not had to resort to manual disimpaction. In some cases enemas were given concurrently, thought this does not appear to be necessary. There is always concern about giving PEG solutions to cats as oxidative injury to RBCs could occur, though we have not documented this to date.</span></div>

Medical therapy (life-time) can in many cases avert the need for surgery or significantly delay the need for surgery.</span></div>

<span class="article-articlebody" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0px 0px 0px;">Diet is an important part of management and it is difficult to be sure which diet is best in each individual case. Increased fiber and low residue diets are the most popular.</span></div>

<span class="article-articlebody" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0px 0px 0px;">Fiber has been recommended for many years. This can be a psyllium product (Metamucil 1-4 tsp per meal), pumpkin pie filling or wheat bran. Fiber has been shown in humans to be only moderately effective as a laxative.</span></div>
<div style="border: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0px 0px 0px;">
<span class="article-articlebody" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0px 0px 0px;">Lactulose is also a very good option for maintaining soft stools. The dosage is 0.5 ml/kg two to three times daily. Dosage is adjusted to obtain the stool quality desired. In humans this product is known to cause flatulence and GI cramping. Recently PEG containing laxatives (Miralax) have been recommended for use in cats. In humans PEG laxatives have been shown to be safe and effective with few adverse side effects. Rarely severe hyponatremia has been reported because of SIADH. These products have been recommended in cats though there is no published data showing efficacy or safety. Our own studies show that PEG is well tolerated in healthy cats and consistently leads to very soft stools. Dosage needed is relatively variable between cats so individual dose titration is a necessity. Starting off at ¼ teaspoon twice daily is a good starting point.</span></div>
<div style="border: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0px 0px 0px;">
<span class="article-articlebody" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 0px 0px 0px;">Prokinetic medications are vital to managing the chronically impacted cat. Cisapride (2.5 to 5 mg/cat q8 to 12 hours) has helped many cats avoid surgery for megacolon. It can be obtained from many compounding pharmacies. Other medications are available as well, however in most cases Cisapride is adequate.</span></div>

Kittens are essentially baby carnivores with specialised needs. Kittens naturally wean off their mother's milk at around 8-12 weeks of age. In the wild. When young cats are old enough (around 8 weeks old) they start to eat food on their own whilst simultaneously decreasing the amount of milk they suckle from their mother.<br />
<br />
<strong>Basic Kitten feeding guide:</strong></div>
<ul>
<li>Talk to your veterinarian for advice</li>
<li>Feed a high quality balanced premium commercial kitten food that is appropriate for the life stage and health status of your kitten. Check that it complies with the Australian Standard:Manufacturing and Marketing Pet Food AS5812:2011.</li>
<li>You can offer some natural foods to provide some variety</li>
<li>Natural foods include <strong>human-grade </strong>raw meat such as diced up raw lamb meat, pieces of raw chicken meat. Raw food offered to cats should always be fresh. Avoid feeding too much raw meat until the kitten is 20 weeks of age<strong> </strong>(unless the meat is on the bone e.g. raw chicken wing.) This is important to help avoid certain nutritional deficiencies during growth.</li>
<li>First check with your vet that raw meaty bones are suitable for your particular kitten (e.g. some kittens with misshapen jaws may have difficulty chewing on raw bones) </li>
<li>Choose <strong>human-grade</strong> raw meat and raw meaty bones because some pet meat/pet mince/pet rolls/pet meat and bone products can contain preservatives that can be detrimental to the kitten's health (e.g. sulphite preservative induced thiamine deficiency which can be fatal). However avoid human sausages, sausage meat and cooked manufactured meats as these may contain sulphite preservatives. </li>
<li>Provide some moist foods in the diet regularly e.g. wet can food</li>
<li>Cooked meat such as boiled chicken can also be fed occasionally. Please ensure there are no cooked bones, onions/onion sauces or other toxic substances present (see below)</li>
<li>Between four to six months of age kittens cut their permanent teeth and grow rapidly<ul>
<li>Introducing raw meaty bones such as raw chicken necks and raw chicken wings, at around 12 weeks of age ensures they are chewing actively around the time their permanent teeth are erupting.</li>
<li>This chewing is important to alleviate "teething" issues and also provides several important health benefits including healthy teeth and gums</li>
<li><strong>Bones must always be raw</strong></li>
<li>Raw bones should be introduced gradually. The bone must be large enough so that the kitten cannot fit the whole bone in it's mouth or swallow the bone whole.</li>
<li>Too many raw bones can cause constipation. One raw bones per week is generally well-tolerated</li>
<li>Always supervise your kitten when eating raw bones.</li>
<li>Avoid large marrow bones, large knuckle bones or bones sawn lengthwise as cats may crack their teeth on these</li>
<li><strong>Never</strong> feed cooked bones as these may splinter and cause internal damage or become an intestinal obstruction</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Different types of fish such as tinned sardines in springwater, tinned tuna and tinned salmon may also be offered as a treat occasionally (care with any fish bones). Please avoid feeding fish constantly.</li>
<li>A small amount of vegetable matter may be offered</li>
<li>Provide access to grass (avoid chemically treated grass and toxic plants) - kittens will sometimes eat grass which may be a source of vegetable matter and nutrients.</li>
<li>Calcium powder supplements should not be given (unless directed by a veterinarian)</li>
<li>Please ensure fresh drinking water is available at all times</li>
<li>Kittens should be offered food at least 4 times per day</li>
<li>Take care not to overfeed or underfeed your kitten. Your vet will be able to weigh your kitten, assess your kitten's body condition score and provide advice</li>
<li>Do <strong>not</strong> feed the following (note this is not an exhaustive list): onions, onion powder, garlic, chocolate, coffee or caffeine products, mouldy or spoiled foods or compost, bread dough, yeast dough, avocado, grapes, raisins, sultanas (including those in Christmas cakes etc), currants, nuts including macadamia nuts, fruit stones (pits) e.g. mango seeds, apricot stones; fruit seeds, corncobs; tomatoes, mushrooms; fish constantly, cooked bones, Salt, small pieces of raw bone or fatty trimmings/fatty foods. Also ensure you pet cat does not have access to string wrappings around rolled roasts or the absorbent pad found under meat when wrapped on trays.</li>
</ul>

If you’re feeding your cat a commercial food, chances are he’s getting a daily dose of some ingredients that read less like a food label and more like gibberish! While this guide is not all-inclusive, it defines the worst of the worst of the most commonly used ingredients in commercial cat and dog foods, explains their purpose for being there, and details the possible side-effects as a result of regular or continual ingestion.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 1rem; line-height: 24.8px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Although many of these ingredients may be fine in the occasional treat or meal (many of them are in the processed foods we eat, too), cats are, more often than not, fed the same exact meal, day after day, year after year.</div>

To many pet owners, this may (and should) read as a list of ingredients to avoid. When choosing the right food for your furriest friend, look for real named meats (rather than just the term “meat” which could include any variety of animal), whole ingredients, things you recognize. If there are more questions than answers when reading your pet food label, look elsewhere.</div>

The holidays are here! Ahh, a time of fun gatherings, good food, and lots of friends and family. It’s also a prime time for pets to contract digestive problems from getting into something they shouldn’t – like spoiled food or really rich sauces. Luckily, most digestive problems can be managed at home. Here are some tips and strategies you can employ if your pets contract food poisoning.</div>

Well, there are a few things you can do at home to help with food poisoning, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration in your pets.<em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Note: If your pet’s condition seems really bad (i.e. if you see blood in their vomit or diarrhea), take them to your local emergency veterinary clinic immediately.</em></div>

How To Induce Vomiting</h3>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If your pet got into something non-edible or something very toxic (like dark chocolate), induce vomiting by giving <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #3d3d3d; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide</strong>. This will result in a foamy vomit (so do this outdoors, or have some newspaper handy for cleanup). After the vomiting stops, wait 2 hours and administer the following mixture with a syringe:</div>
<ul style="background: transparent; border: 0px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<strong>Boswellia Serrata</strong>, also known as Sallai Guggal, is a closely related to Frankincense (<em>Boswellia glabra</em>). Boswellia possesses anti-inflammatory action that is just as effective against arthritis as most prescription medication, yet Boswellia does not have any of the side effects. Research conducted in India found that an extract of Boswellia was more beneficial, less toxic, and more potent than the standard drug of choice for rheumatic disorders, Ketoprofen (<em>benzoyl hydrotropic acid</em>). Boswellic acids (BA) are believed to suppress the proliferating tissue found in the inflamed areas and also prevents the breakdown of connective tissue. The mechanism is similar to the action of non-steroidal groups of anti-arthritic drugs with no side effects, gastric irritation and ulcerogenic activity. Many studies conducted since the original study has confirmed that Boswellia Serrata has potent anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activity. Boswellia was found to improve blood supply to the joints and restore integrity of vessels weakened by spasm. Boswellia Serrata may also be useful for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with no side effects as those seen with traditional drugs of choice.<span style="color: navy;"> </span><strong>Small Dogs 10 mg daily. Medium Dogs 25 mg daily. Large Dogs 50-100 mg daily.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>B vitamins</strong> help to maintain the health of the brain, nerves, skin, eyes, hair, liver and mouth. B-complex vitamins are coenzymes involved in energy production, and may even be useful for alleviating anxiety. There are no side effects so you can feel comfortable giving your canine and feline companions this vitamin supplement. <strong>For cats and small dogs give ½ of a B25; for medium dogs give one tablet of B25; and for large/giant dogs give one to two tablets of B50. Give once or twice daily</strong>. Please note the urine may become a "brighter" yellow while taking B vitamins. Note: Raw meat and brewers yeast are good sources; cooking destroys many B-complex vitamins. The following lists some info on specific B vitamins...<br />
<em><br />
<strong>Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine) deficiency can result in brain damage and seizures.</strong><br />
<strong>Vitamin B-2 (Riboflavin) deficiency may lead to cataracts in dogs and cats.</strong><br />
<strong>Vitamin B-3 (Niacin) is a great help in controlling seizures and behavior problems.</strong><br />
<strong>Vitamin B-5 (Pantothenic Acid) deficiency is common with allergies.</strong><br />
<strong>Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine) deficiencies can lead to failure to grow, epilepsy, anemia and calcium kidney stones.</strong><br />
<strong>Vitamin B-9 (Folic Acid) is necessary for red blood cell formation and protein metabolism.</strong><br />
<strong>Vitamin B-12 (Cobalamin) deficiency can lead to anemia. Raw liver is the best source.</strong><br />
<strong>Biotin deficiency results in hair and skin disorders in cats. Raw egg whites contain enzymes that deplete biotin. Biotin may help dogs that eat their feces.</strong><br />
<strong>Choline deficiencies can lead to cognitive dysfunction and neuropathies.</strong><strong></strong></em><br />
<br />
<strong>Vitamin C </strong>is beneficial for pets with skin problems as well as arthritis, heart health and urinary tract infections. Supplement the diet with a natural vitamin C complex that includes bioflavonoids. <strong>The recommended dose is 5-10 mg per pound twice daily</strong>. However, vitamin C can be given to bowel tolerance level during times of acute illness at which point the body excretes the excess vitamin and stools become soft. When vitamin C produces this reaction, decrease the dose until the stool is normal. Vitamin C is best given as the form of Ester C (non-acidic) because it is more efficiently used by cells and connective tissues. Ester C is safe to give to Pets to boost the immune system. <em>Please note: Pets with a history of calcium bladder stones should not take Vitamin C as it acidifies the urine and may promote oxalate formation.</em><br />
<br />
<strong>Chamomile</strong> can help to soothe your dog or cat during times of stress such as flying, visits to the doctor, etc. Boil 1 cup of water. Pour the boiling water over a tea bag full of chamomile flowers. Steep 10 - 15 minutes. Let cool. Place the mixture in the dog or cat's water dish or soak a treat in the mixture.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.drfry.biz//" target="_top"><strong>CoQ10</strong></a>--Coenzyme Q<sub>10</sub>, also known as ubiquinone, is essential for energy production at the cellular level. It has been shown to benefit humans with various heart and muscle diseases and can help Pets too. It is also good for gingivitis. <strong>Give 1-2 mg per pound of body weight daily, may be divided into two doses.Colloidal silver</strong> is a natural, safe, non-toxic antibiotic effective in killing over 650 pathogens including viruses, bacteria, fungus and yeast. Prior to 1934 when penicillin was discovered, colloidal silver was the drug of choice for many diseases but very expensive. Colloidal silver kills the pathogens by destroying the enzyme that supplies these pathogens with oxygen. Colloidal silver can be used as a preventative, like a second immune system to prevent infection, or as a cure to treat infection and disease. Colloidal silver is tasteless. It can be mixed into your pet’s drinking water or given under the tongue. It may even be used topically. Because the silver is in a colloidal form, any excess that is not needed by the body is easily eliminated and does not accumulate for a long time in body tissue. There is no possibility of overdosing or taking too much colloidal silver and no known interaction between colloidal silver and other drugs, herbs or medicines.<br />
<br />
<strong>Cranberry Extract</strong> is high in Vitamin C and prevents bacteria from adhering to the bladder wall. Women who drink a pint of juice a day had 63% reduction in recurrence of urinary tract infections, and it is also excellent for Pets with chronic UTIs. <strong>Dosing schedule…1/4-1/2 capsule twice daily for cats & small dogs, 1 capsule twice daily for medium and large dogs and 1 capsule three times daily for giant breed dogs</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Vitamin E</strong> promotes heart health, slows aging, prevents cataracts, boost the immune system, protects the body against pollutants and cancer as well as heals the skin. May be used topically on dry noses, elbows and feet as well as to help heal scars. <strong>Oral Dose is 1-2 mg per pound daily (not to exceed 400 units/day).</strong><br />

<strong>3. Digestive Enzymes & Probiotics with EnzyGuard-D from 4Life Digestive Enzymes: </strong>Digestive Enzymes & Probiotics provides seven forms of digestive enzymes in a proprietary blend that promotes healthy digestion. Enzymes are protein molecules that are necessary for life and are naturally present in raw foods. However, in today’s society, poor diets don’t provide enough raw foods to get the enzymes needed for healthy digestion. Specific enzymes help to break down specific food components. Four common enzymes are:<br />
<em><strong>Protease </strong><strong>– breaks down proteins (found in milk, eggs, meats and beans).</strong></em><em><strong>Amylase </strong><strong>– breaks down carbohydrates and some sugars.</strong></em><em><strong>Lipase </strong><strong>– breaks down fats.</strong><br />
<em><strong>Cellulase </strong><strong>– breaks down cellulose, which makes up plant fibers and tissues.</strong></em></em><strong>Probiotic Blend: Probiotics are "friendly" or "good" bacteria that contribute to the health and balance of theintestinal tract. Millions of "good" bacteria exist in the body, which support healthy immune system function, promote healthy hormone levels and support cells and enzymes to strengthen overall digestive function. EnzyGuard-D is 4Life’s proprietary technology developed to stabilize enzymes and probiotics during manufacturing, storage and activation. This technology allows probiotics to remain stable at room temperature.

<strong>Eyebright</strong> is an antioxidant herb that fights free-radical damage, especially in the eyes. The flower of Eyebright, also known as Euphrasia and Ocularia, somewhat resembles a bloodshot eye, which may have been part of what led ancient peoples to value this plant for eye problems. Since the Middle Ages, Eyebright has been a popular herbal eyewash. Today Eyebright is used more frequently for relieving eye problems such as eye strain, pink eye and inflamed, irritated and sore eyes. Eyebright contains bitters, essential oils, several B vitamins, and Vitamins A, C, D, and E. The plant has astringent properties that probably account for its usefulness as a topical treatment for inflammatory states and its ability to reduce mucous drainage. Eyebright's antibiotic and astringent properties tighten membranes and mucus surrounding the eyes, effectively strengthening and improving circulation. Eyebright also contains tannins that are beneficial for reducing inflammation. You may give it orally to your pet or use it as an eyewash.<br />
<br />
<strong>Glucosamine and Perna Mussel (green-lipped mussel)</strong> help stimulate synovial joint fluid synthesis and replenish the essential building blocks necessary to maintain healthy cartilage as well as prevent joint degradation. A necessary supplement for all Pets with arthritis. <em>Note: (Glucosamine also inhibits growth & aggregation of calcium oxalate crystals and may also have benefits for cats with chronic urinary tract disease.</em> <strong>Dose is 250-500 mg per 30 pounds of weight twice a day. COMBINATION</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Ginger </strong>has a long history of medicinal use in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic (Indian) medicine. Modern research confirms its effectiveness in relieving the symptoms of nausea, vomiting, indigestion, flatulence and dizziness. Working mainly in the digestive tract, ginger boosts digestive fluids and neutralizes acids, making it an effective alternative to anti-nausea medication, but without the usual unpleasant side effects. Give a small amount of fresh grated ginger or powdered ginger root capsules an hour prior to travel on an empty stomach.<br />
<strong>GINGKO BILOBA</strong>...Cognitive Disorder is a common degenerative neurologic disorder of aging dogs, cats, and humans. A number of causes have been suggested and several recommendations have been made for treating this disorder, including the herb gingko biloba. In addition to purportedly helping pets with cognitive disorder, this herb has antioxidant capabilities, decreases platelet clumping, and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. Gingko has a number of important chemical components including flavones, quercetin, ginkgolides, bioflavonoids, ginkgolic acids, sterols, polysaccharides and procyanidins. In pets, gingko biloba has been recommended for treating cognitive disorder, early hyperadrenocorticism (Cushings), cardiovascular disease, asthma and circulatory disorders. In pets, there is not a specific dose of ginkgo stated in the literature. However, as is true with many herbs, doses are extrapolated from those given to humans. In general, 500 mg of powdered or capsule herb per 25-50 pounds every 8-12 hours or 5-10 drops of tincture per 10 pounds every 8-12 hours. Gingko is considered fairly safe; however, caution should be used in patients receiving anticoagulants, including aspirin and NSAIDs.<br />
<strong>Hawthorn</strong> (Crataegus oxycantha) therapy was recommended for dogs and cats with cardiac diseases, including cardiomyopathy and valvular heart disease. Researchers have identified many healthful substances in the berries, leaves and flowers. One group of compounds that have been identified is flavonoids. Flavonoids increase blood supply to the heart muscle and decrease blood vessel resistance thereby reducing the heart's workload. The end result is better oxygenation of the heart tissue (and the rest of the body too). Hawthorn has the unique property of both strengthening the heart and stabilizing it against arrhythmias. Hawthorn can also have a calming effect on the nervous system, which can also improve cardiac function. Hawthorn berries are high in B - vitamins and other important nutrients. Finally, the flavonoid content of hawthorn gives it potent antioxidant properties as well.<u>Hawthorn’s action is not immediate and may take 4-6 weeks to see a response. </u>It is not going to cure heart disease. A product that contains a mixture of berries, leaves and flowers is best. If a pet has been diagnosed with heart disease but is not showing symptoms or has early signs of heart failure and is not on medication, you can try a course of Hawthorn. Side effects are rare but could consist of mild stomach upset or skin rash. Safety has not been established in those with severe liver, heart or kidney disease. If a pet is already in moderate to severe heart failure or is on conventional medications, consult with your veterinarian before starting Hawthorn. <strong>Cats and small dogs—1/8 human adult dose, Medium dogs—1/4 adult dose, Large dogs—1/2 adult dose, and Giant dogs—whole adult dose.</strong><br />

<strong>MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)</strong> is a derivative of DMSO and is found in the cells of our bodies as well as our pet’s bodies. DMSO was used for decades in veterinary medicine for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, but it’s side effects were foul odor and skin irritation. MSM is a stable metabolite of DMSO, and it possesses many of the same benefits at DMSO but without the side effects. MSM provides a source of organic sulfur. Some of sulfur’s functions in the body are to maintain cell membrane flexibility and permeability, which allows for exchange of nutrients into and toxins out of the cell as well as maintenance of connective tissue and formation of collagen. MSM provides raw materials to create new cells and it possesses anti-inflammatory properties. The concentration of MSM can be reduced throughout the normal aging processes and stress. Sulfur deficiencies have been associated with slow wound healing, immune system dysfunction, skin disorders, depression and degenerative joint problems. Most pets will tolerate MSM, but it may cause intestinal upset in some. <strong>To supplement your pet’s diet, try adding 250 mg of MSM per 15 pounds of body weight once or twice daily. </strong><span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">For arthritis treatment, MSM is best given in combination with glucosamine and is available as <strong>SYNOVI MSM </strong>from Dr. Fry.

<strong><u><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: small;">Parvovirus in a Puppy Cured with Transfer Factor by Dr. Fry</span></u></strong><span style="font-size: small;">"A four-month old Rottweiler puppy came to see me Wednesday night after several episodes of vomiting and diarrhea. She was very weak, dehydrated and unable to hold any food down. I diagnosed her with Parvovirus, a deadly intestinal infection in dogs that also attacks their white blood cells wiping out their immune system. Immediately I started her on IV fluids and conventional treatment with antibiotics and anti-emetics to control the secondary infection and vomiting. I knew the prognosis wasn’t good, but decided to try her on Transfer Factor. I dissolved the human capsules in saline and injected her with about 1200 mg a day. Most puppies succumb to the virus or spend 7-10 days in the hospital trying to recover. To my amazement, her white blood cell counts didn’t plummet to zero but steadily rose and she was able to fight off the infection. Friday night she was eating and went home happy and healthy Saturday morning. Transfer Factor was a miracle-cure for this puppy!"</span><br />
<strong><u><span style="font-size: small;">Two More Amazing Testimonials Using Transfer Factor...</span></u></strong><br />
<em><span style="font-size: xx-small;">"Dani was nearly 17 years old last summer when she suddenly became very lethargic and all but stopped eating. The entire month of July 2002 she steadily lost weight, became more and more lethargic, teetered closer and closure to Kidney failure, and became borderline hyperthyroid. She dropped from a nice healthy 10 pounds to an alarming 6.2 pounds...My regular vet said that she was giving up and was simply worn out and began preparing me for the worst. Faithfully since then, each morning I have given her 1/4 scoop of regular Feline Transfer Factor mixed with whatever food she's decided that's her favorite of the day/week. Her kidney evaluation has stayed [stable], and her thyroid is back to normal. Slowly but surely, she steadily gained weight ever since last August when she starting using TF. However, this past vet visit, she has gained a whopping six ounces in one month!!! She now weighs in at 8 lbs., 15.5 oz. I know what TF has done for Dani. She's living proof that the stuff works and I honestly believe that Transfer Factor has highly contributed, if not, saved her life. TF has added another year of *good* quality life. Her recovery from Death's Door is an absolute miracle in our eyes." Susie B.<br /><br />"I started giving Transfer Factor Plus Feline Formula to Spots, our blind, FIV+ cat on October 28th, 2001. She has had chronic upper respiratory congestion with very raspy breathing for several months which has led to a severe decrease in her appetite and she's lost about 1/4 of her body weight. She would normally eat an entire 5.5oz can of cat food at a time and lately, she hardly licks at it. She's tired and listless all the time. Within a week of starting TF, her breathing and appetite began to improve. She's grooming more and her coat is looking glossy again. Her raspy breathing hasn't cleared up entirely, but she's in much better shape now than she was just two weeks ago. Spots was pretty much back to normal after a month of the TF. She has gained back almost all the weight she lost. I think that if I hadn't given TF Plus to her, her condition would have continued to deteriorate. Spots is doing swimmingly just 2 months after starting TF. She sleeps without snoring and most of the time, her breathing is normal </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">and she has a fantastic appetite. She is doing very well now and I attribute her recovery to the Transfer Factor she's been taking. I will continue to give it to her, as it obviously is helping her immune system to keep her healthy."

<strong><span style="font-size: small;">HOMEOPATHY...</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The science of Homeopathy is based on the principle of <strong>"like cures like."</strong> In other words, if a healthy person (or animal) takes a substance which causes specific symptoms when taken in larger quantities, that same substance can be used to treat a sick person (or pet) with the same symptoms when used in a diluted amount. Therefore, rather than focusing in on the disease itself, homeopathy is centered around encouraging the body to heal itself naturally. The strength of a remedy is denoted by a number and a letter: the higher the number, the higher the strength. A common example would be 30X. The letter 'X' in this example is the method of dilution and means 1 part remedy is mixed with 9 parts dilutant which equals a 1:10 ratio. The number (in front of the letter) indicates the number of times a product is further diluted and successed or vigorously pounded. ‘C’ is a ratio of 1:100 and ‘M’ is a ratio of 1:1000. Homeopathy can be used to treat pets as well as people and has been used by many with great success. Below are a few examples of some common homeopathic remedies...</span><br />

But in the meantime, it's a major issue in the raw feeding movement. This step-by-step approach, and patience, will work for nearly every cat.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Kittens need no transition; they take to raw food like ducks to water. Special kitten food is not necessary. They eat the same food as adult cats, just more of it and more often. Kittens need about twice as much food per ounce of body weight as an adult. All that growing to do! Their stomachs are small, so they need to eat more often than adults, about every 4 to 6 hours. If you're getting a kitten(s), start them off right with a raw diet, and you won't have to worry about transitioning them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Kittens should also be introduced to raw meaty bones, so they learn to eat them when they are young. Most kittens will readily tackle a chicken wing if offered. If you already have an older cat that will eat raw meaty bones, be sure to let the kittens learn from their older housemate. The kittens will copy the behaviors of the adults around them.</div>

We'll look at this in three stages:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">From canned to raw</li>

</ul>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

The key to any transition is patience. The transition can be fast or very slow. In my household, transitioning to raw took about 5 seconds for some of them to three whole months for another. I have read about cats that took a year to transition. However long it takes yours, stick with it, it's worth it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The transitioning tips below use the slow, gradual method. It usually works. Usually. For some cats, nothing seems to work. Give these methods a try and don't give up too soon. I thought Kai would never switch. Gearing myself up for feeding him separately forever, I turned around one day, after three months, and found him with his face buried in a plate of raw rabbit! I don't usually advocate using hunger to help transition your cat, other than the normal mealtime hunger of 12 hours or so, but you can try it if your cat is particularly stubborn. If your cat is adult, healthy and not obese, you can wait her out longer if she refuses to eat either canned or the raw. I wouldn't go longer than 36 hours though. This has worked for some people. Be aware that any cat, especially an overweight cat, is at risk for <span class="mytool" style="color: #56863c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><abbr style="border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">hepatic lipidosis</abbr></span> if they don't eat every day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Whatever your cat eats at present, it's always worth a try to just offer her some raw. She may surprise you. See if she will eat some cut up raw chicken or turkey, or some raw chicken liver. If she does…well, this may be easy.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">From Dry Food to Grain-Free Canned</strong></div>

Cats get addicted to dry food, so this may be the hardest step, especially if your cat doesn't also eat canned food.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

For cats that will only eat dry food:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

First, stop free feeding dry food. Your cat does not need to have food available at all times. Eating two or three meals a day is fine, as is going 12 hours between meals. You want your cat to associate food with a person — you — not a place.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Start bringing out their food at regular mealtimes. Cats will learn the new routine very quickly. Leave it out for 30 minutes, and then put it away. At first, you may have to have more than two mealtimes a day. Cut back to two or three per day after a week, once your cat gets used to the whole idea of mealtimes. Put out one bowl for each cat, in separate rooms if necessary, so each cat feels relaxed about her meal.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Nothing enhances a meal more than having an appetite. Just make sure each cat does eat, every day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Once they seem used to mealtimes and are coming to you for their meals, start offering canned food. Choose a quality, grain-free canned food. Avoid foods with fish, as these are overly strong flavors which cats can get addicted to — to the point of refusing other flavors. Fish is not an ideal food for cats and should be fed sparingly as an occasional treat only. Try putting their dry food on a flat plate with a little of the canned food on the side. If they won't eat the quality canned brand you chose, try a different brand of canned. Even a lesser quality type if needed, as the goal at this point is to get them eating canned at all. They may ignore it completely, but it will get them to start associating the smell with dinner. Give this a week or so.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

If they still aren't interested, next try putting out a plate of canned food with some of their dry food on top, whole or crushed a little. Being a little hungry makes them more likely to try something new. They may just pick the dry food off — that's okay. They will be getting just a taste of the canned food with it. Keep at this, even if you end up throwing away the canned food. Try different canned foods; your cat may like one more than another. If it looks like your cat is nibbling at the canned a bit, try putting out just the canned next time and see what happens. Some cats can be tempted by the gravy in some canned foods, and lick all that off. That's a step forward for a confirmed dry food addict.</div>

Try some meat baby food. Some cats will eat this even if they refuse canned food. Try letting them lick it off your finger. If they will eat it, put a little on top of their canned food.</div>

You can try putting a little canned food on your finger, and putting a little in your cat's mouth. Only do this if it won't stress out or frighten your cat, as you definitely don't want them to have bad associations with the new food or be afraid of you.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

You can also try topping canned food with a dehydrated meat treat. Cats love Halo LivaLittles® freeze dried chicken and <a href="http://www.wildsidesalmon.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #56863c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Wildside Salmon®</a> treats. Both of these are 100% meat, dehydrated into cubes. These products appeal to dry food eaters as they are similar in texture, and the taste and odor are irresistible to most cats. Keep in mind that it's a treat, not a meal. Another good "bribe" topping is shaved bonito flakes. Mine love Kitty Kaviar®, which I used on raw food when transitioning them. Again, use fish products sparingly and not routinely.</div>

Plain or with a bribe topping. Don't give up, no matter how long it takes. Even if it takes months and months. Really, it's that important for your cat. Eventually, they will figure out that this really is food.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Keep any dry food you have closed up as much as possible. Put it in an over-sized Ziploc®, or a large Tupperware® type container and then in a room the cats can't get into. When they get hungry, they will try to get to it. Once your cats are eating canned food, get rid of the dry food completely. Out of the house. Cats have an excellent sense of smell; if it's in the house, they'll know.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Don't get discouraged if your cat turns her nose up at something she liked just the day before. This isn't unusual. That's how cats got that reputation for being finicky. Just try it again next time. Also, it isn't unusual for a cat to act ravenous one day and not be overly interested in eating the next. Don't worry about it if it happens occasionally.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Here's a tip: Take notes. Especially if you have more than one or two cats. Note which cats like which foods, and which flavors. You may have to try a lot of different kinds, and it helps to have a record. It's okay at this point if your cat only likes one kind; getting her off dry food is what's paramount. Always try to get your cats eating a quality grain-free canned food, but it's acceptable if at first they will only eat a lesser quality food. Just be sure to transition to a quality grain-free canned or raw for the long run.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Once your cat is off dry food, and is used to mealtimes, give her at least a couple weeks on this new diet, and then start on the transition to raw.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

First try out some cut-up raw chicken or turkey, or chicken liver on your cat. Some cats go for it immediately. Most of my cats took to raw right away, but it helped that they were young. Kittens take to raw with no problems. The younger the cat, the easier the transition will probably be.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

For your first try, either buy some commercially prepared raw food, or make some homemade. My cats liked most of the different types of meat I tried: chicken, turkey, pheasant, quail and duck. Their hands — sorry — paws-down favorite is rabbit. This makes sense, as this is probably the closest to what they would be eating naturally. Or they know it's more expensive than chicken. Vary what they get so that they don't get fixated on just one food.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Don't give up!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Make sure the raw food is warm. Think mouse body temperature. Don't microwave it. Microwaving cooks the food and will reduce the nutrients you've been so careful to obtain. Put the food in a Ziploc® type baggie and place it in a bowl of warm water for 5-15 minutes, depending on how thawed it is. It is sometimes easier to then cut the bottom corner off the baggie and squeeze the food out.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Put their canned food on a plate rather than in a bowl, and put a little raw next to it. They probably won't eat it, but that's okay. The idea is to get them used to the smell of it, and to start associating that smell with their meal. As you may have noticed, fresh raw meat has a very slight, subtle odor and cats that are used to smelly canned food may not recognize it as edible at first.</div>

Mix a little of the raw with their canned food. With my reluctant Kai, I started with ¼ teaspoon mixed into his meal. This is a <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">tiny</em>amount, and he would still sometimes eat around it. I kept it at this amount for a few weeks, and then upped it to ½ teaspoon for another few weeks. I kept offering it to him plain also, on the side, but he never touched it. I increased it to about 1 teaspoon and kept it there. Hey cat, I can keep this up forever! He surprised me after three months by suddenly changing his mind and eating a plateful of rabbit. Unless this happens with you, just keep increasing the percentage of raw, slowly, until it's all raw. Keep giving your cat the opportunity to eat a plain raw meal. Be patient. This is a big adjustment for your cat; let her guide you as to how fast you should go.</div>

Once your cats are eating raw, be sure to introduce chunked meat into their meals, if you haven't already. For their dental health and for their jaw muscles, cats need to chew, using the sides of their jaws. Cats who have only ever eaten canned haven't had to do much chewing, so you may have to start them gradually.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

I add chunks, usually chicken, to all my homemade food and most of the commercial raw food I buy. It's more time consuming, but my cats are worth it. I hope to forestall expensive dental problems down the road. I add small pieces, about ½ inch square on average, but some twice that size. At first some of the cats ate around them, but shortly they were all chewing away, and none of the chunks was ever left over. Start small, and gradually increase the size up to the biggest your cat will eat. The lack of chunks is probably my only complaint with commercial raw foods, but you can always, and should, add your own to any thawed food.</div>

Cats can eat small whole raw chicken parts or other small birds. Getting them to do it is sometimes the problem. I have one cat, Thodin, who is crazy for chicken wings. She will go nuts when I take any baggie out of the fridge, thinking she's going to get a wing. She picks it up in her mouth, and runs off to a favorite spot in the kitchen and chomps away. She eats almost all of it, usually leaving only a small bone piece. She'll pretty much eat as many as I'll give her. I'm getting so I love to hear the sound of bones crunching from the next room!</div>

If your cat has been eating dry or canned food for a long time, it may take a little time for their jaws to work up good chewing muscles to be able to tackle raw meaty bones. Start with boneless chunks in her ground food. Once she's had some practice chewing on hunks of meat, try her out on a small chicken wing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

I didn't have to teach Thodin to eat meaty bones, but the others had to be enticed, encouraged and taught. Here are some ideas to try:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #6c3c04; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18.72px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<ul style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 18px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Try introducing raw meaty bones when your cats are hungry. They are more likely to give it a try.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Roll a chicken wing in a "bribe" food you know they like, to encourage them to try it. I had some success with finely cut bonito flakes. Put the flakes in a baggie, add a chicken wing. Sort of like Shake 'n Bake® without the bake! A few of the cats would just lick off the flakes, but I got one to start chewing away on it on the very first try.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Add smaller meaty bones to their regular meals if they are already used to eating chunks.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Try other small game birds or rabbit. They might hate chicken but love Cornish game hens or quail.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Use your cat's natural instinct to copy. If you have one cat that will eat raw meaty bones, give it one when all your cats are hungry and let the others watch. They know that cat has something good. After they show some interest get out another and see if they'll go for it. I know this sounds a bit unusual, but I've seen it work.</li>
</ul>

Acid Reflux</h1>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Acid Reflux, in dogs, cats, and other pets, is often referred to as GERD</strong>, which is the abbreviation of its more technical name – gastroesophageal reflux disease. Veterinarians often refer to this condition in animals as esophagitis. Although sometimes confused with gastritis, or esophagitis, and can be related, there is an important difference. This article will help to clarify this, as well as explain Acid Reflux in pets, the symptoms, and treatment options.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">

It may be surprising to learn that some of the things we suffer from as humans are identical to what our pets are experiencing, and may require similar remedies as well.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Technical Description:</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">GER, or gastroesophageal reflux</strong>, occurs when the contents of liquid and/or food flow backwards from the stomach, and into the esophagus, the muscular tube connecting the mouth to the stomach. Gastric acids, which contain hydrochloric acid, are formed in the stomach, and when Acid Reflux occurs, the gastric acid mixed with food and/or liquid is what can cause irritation to the esophagus.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
This involuntary and uncontrollable reversal of stomach content can be a result of many things. When the sphincter muscle in the lower esophagus close to the stomach is weakened or damaged, this leaking of stomach contents can be more predominant. Along with hydrochloric acid, the flow of content may also contain bile salts, and other GI juices that add to irritation.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">GERD is the disease attributed to regular irritation due to Acid Reflux</strong>. As a periodic, or possibly chronic condition, various degrees of esophageal inflammation may result, from mild inflammation, to severe damage to deeper layers of the esophagus. The inflammation, identified by the “-itis,” in gastritis and esophagitis, is specifically the condition of damaged tissue, swelling and inflammation caused by the Acid Reflux.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
What causes Acid Reflux?:</h2>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
The list of potential causes for Acid Reflux is extensive. The more common ones range from professionally administered treatments, to daily diets.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Any procedure requiring anesthetic application that allows the sphincter muscle of an animal to relax should be monitored carefully by a professional. Proper positioning of the animal during the procedure is also critical. Also, proper fasting prior to anesthetic procedures is very important.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Certain breeds of dogs and cats can have a genetic predisposition to Acid Reflux</strong>. For instance, Brachycephalic breeds, which have short noses and flat faces (dogs – Bulldogs, Terriers, Boxers; cats – Himalayan, Persian. Etc.), are more susceptible to GERD.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Actual physical conditions, such as a hiatal hernia in the upper portion of the stomach, or megaesophagus (See Megaesophagus for more information), which alludes to an enlarged esophagus and improper functioning of the esophagus muscles, can result in Acid Reflux.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Diet is always a concern</strong>. A meal that has very high fat content, or a similar regular diet can trigger the reflux process. As well, the problem can be the result of simple overeating.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
One must keep in mind that persistent vomiting is also associated with life-threatening diseases such as intestinal obstruction and peritonitis. Seek professional consultation in all cases where the cause of persistent vomiting is not known.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Symptoms and Signs:</h2>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
The easiest signs to recognize do not necessarily mean that your pet has GERDS or Acid Reflux. The following are things that may pertain to your animal’s condition that may be attributed to Acid Reflux, and can be readily observed.</div>
<ul style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 23px 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Loss of appetite</li>
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Weight loss</li>
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Regurgitation of food or chronic vomiting</li>
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Gagging after eating</li>
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Burping</li>
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Lethargy and inactivity after eating</li>
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Excessive Salivating or drooling</li>
<li style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Eating grass, plastics, and other unusual substances</li>
</ul>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Your dog, cat, or other pet may not be able to convey their problems to you the way people would. However, with diligent observation a lot can be determined. For instance, your animal may be having pain when swallowing, or it could be ongoing, resulting in crying, whining, or howling. They may be lethargic, and noticeably inactive after eating. You may find them with their heads hanging over the food or water bowl, but not partaking. They may be wandering nervously for no apparent reason, or pacing back and forth. Hence, any behavior that is abnormal may be held in suspicion, and could be an indication of an Acid Reflux issue.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Hopefully, you will know your pet better than anyone, and will spot any “red flags,” or obvious signs of distress. But, it is best not to jump to conclusions, or rely on non-professional diagnosis. Any symptoms should be considered as alerts for seeking professional help.</div>
<h2 style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Diagnosis:</h2>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Taking the next step to determine if your pet has Acid Reflux will be to arrange an appointment with your veterinarian. Your vet will start with a simple examination. However, if there is suspicion of an Acid Reflux problem, your vet may suggest a range of tests, including blood and urine analysis, or a chest x-ray. If these tests are still inconclusive, and advanced testing is required, a vet may perform a fluoroscopy (x-ray), or esophagoscopy (viewing scope), to get a better look at the conditions of the esophagus for determining the cause of symptoms.</div>
<h2 style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Treatment:</h2>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Irvine Compounding Pharmacy recommends a treatment called <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Cisapride</strong>, which is a medication for dogs and cats. For Acid Reflux, <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Cisapride can help with the regulation of motility</strong>, or regular pace of muscular contractions that control the passing of food in the stomach, allowing for better digestion, and a decrease in excess acid generation. Barring anything unusual, such as a hernia, or a foreign body lodged in the stomach, intestines, or elsewhere, the <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Cisapride</strong> treatment can be very effective, and is often complimented with an adjusted diet. Invariably, a low fat, low protein diet is recommended. Reducing the fat consumption encourages the strengthening of the sphincter, while reducing the protein limits the generation of excess stomach acid. It also may require a change in feeding schedule, frequency and quantity. Smaller portions given more often will help the healing process. Also, specific attention to food composition will be essential. Some vets prescribe antacids in the diet. However, some animals are allergic or sensitive to these.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The presence of Acid Reflux in our pets can very elusive to recognize. Imagining a cat encountering a hairball, or a dog having issues with digesting a bone are much easier than conceiving of more complicated problems. Let’s remember to let the qualified professionals do the official diagnosing, while we stick to adding the love and devotion in exchange for the purring and wagging tails.</div>

While there are plenty of well-known dog stories, perhaps (heh purr-haps?) it’s time to talk about how it’s cats who really rule fiction. Our fine feline companions take center stage not only as major players in these books, but in many of them, they’re the narrators, telling stories about their lives as cats or the lives of humans through their points of view.</div>

In honor of our feline overloads, here’s a round-up of cat-centric fiction not aimed at young readers (not that those are bad or not worth checking out, but it’s a whole different….animal). Interesting to note how many of these books are also titles in translation.</div>

If you have ever lived with cats you know how cunning, tender, ferocious, underhanded, ingenious, foolish, and completely adorable they can be. The same words can be used to describe the hero of this novel, Sugar. This is the story—a love story of epic dimensions—of Sugar, a cat with a keen wit and a reflective nature, and his human, Madamigella, a writer with a frenetic and impossibly dispersive life.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px;">
In this his seventh life, Sugar has countless stories to tell and a remarkable talent for telling them. But his real area of expertise lies in his preternatural ability to domesticate his humans—whatever you do, don’t even suggest that we are the ones who domesticate him and his feline relatives!</div>

Richly allegorical and delightfully readable, <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;">I Am a Cat</em> is the chronicle of an unloved, unwanted, wandering kitten who spends all his time observing human nature – from the dramas of businessmen and schoolteachers to the foibles of priests and potentates. From this unique perfective, author Sōseki Natsume offers a biting commentary – shaped by his training in Chinese philosophy – on the social upheaval of the Meiji era.</div>

In Paris’s Pere-Lachaise cemetery lie the bones of many renowned departed. It is also home to a large number of stray cats. Now, what if by some strange twist of fate, the souls of the famous were reborn in the cats with their personalities intact? There’s Maria Callas, a wilful and imperious diva, wailing late into the night. Earthy, bawdy chanteuse Edith Piaf is a foul-mouthed washerwoman. Oscar Wilde is hopelessly in love with Jim Morrison who sadly does not return his affections. Frederic Chopin is as melancholic and deeply contemplative as ever, and in honor of the tradition of leaving love letters at his tomb, he is now the cemetery’s postmaster general. Last but not least, Marcel Proust is trying to solve the mystery behind some unusual thefts – someone has stolen Rossini’s glass eye and Sarah Bernhardt’s leg. Told in a series of amusing set pieces and intercepted letters, this is a delicious tale of intrigue, unrequited love, longstanding quarrels, character assassinations, petty spats, and sorcery that builds to a steady climax at the cats’ annual Christmas pageant.</div>

The “war with no name” has begun, with human extinction as its goal. The instigator of this war is the Colony, a race of intelligent ants who, for thousands of years, have been silently building an army that would forever eradicate the destructive, oppressive humans. Under the Colony’s watchful eye, this utopia will be free of the humans’ penchant for violence, exploitation, and religious superstition. The final step in the Colony’s war effort is transforming the surface animals into high-functioning two-legged beings who rise up to kill their masters.</div>

Former housecat turned war hero, Mort(e) is famous for taking on the most dangerous missions and fighting the dreaded human bio-weapon EMSAH. But the true motivation behind his recklessness is his ongoing search for a pre-transformation friend—a dog named Sheba. When he receives a mysterious message from the dwindling human resistance claiming Sheba is alive, he begins a journey that will take him from the remaining human strongholds to the heart of the Colony, where he will discover the source of EMSAH and the ultimate fate of all of earth’s creatures.</div>

Combining two distinct yet interwoven parts—one set in ancient Jerusalem, one in contemporary Moscow—the novel veers from moods of wild theatricality with violent storms, vampire attacks, and a Satanic ball; to such somber scenes as the meeting of Pilate and Yeshua, and the murder of Judas in the moonlit garden of Gethsemane; to the substanceless, circus-like reality of Moscow. Its central characters, Woland (Satan) and his retinue—including the vodka-drinking black cat, Behemoth; the poet, Ivan Homeless; Pontius Pilate; and a writer known only as The Master, and his passionate companion, Margarita—exist in a world that blends fantasy and chilling realism, an artful collage of grotesqueries, dark comedy, and timeless ethical questions.</div>

<em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;">Kafka on the Shore</em>, a tour de force of metaphysical reality, is powered by two remarkable characters: a teenage boy, Kafka Tamura, who runs away from home either to escape a gruesome oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister; and an aging simpleton called Nakata, who never recovered from a wartime affliction and now is drawn toward Kafka for reasons that, like the most basic activities of daily life, he cannot fathom. Their odyssey, as mysterious to them as it is to us, is enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerizing events. Cats and people carry on conversations, a ghostlike pimp employs a Hegel-quoting prostitute, a forest harbors soldiers apparently unaged since World War II, and rainstorms of fish (and worse) fall from the sky. There is a brutal murder, with the identity of both victim and perpetrator a riddle – yet this, along with everything else, is eventually answered, just as the entwined destinies of Kafka and Nakata are gradually revealed, with one escaping his fate entirely and the other given a fresh start on his own.</div>

This enchanting story and classic of cat literature is drawn from the true adventures of Tom Jones, May Sarton’s own cat. Prior to making the author’s acquaintance, he is a fiercely independent, nameless Cat About Town. Growing tired of his vagabond lifestyle, however, he concludes that there might be some appeal in giving up his freedom for a home. Finally, a house materializes that does seem acceptable and so do the voices that inhabit it. It is here that he begins his transformation into a genuine Fur Person. Sarton’s book is one of the most beloved stories ever written about the joys and tribulations inherent in sharing one’s life with a cat.</div>

Secure in a world of privilege and comfort, the kitten Tag is happy as a pampered house pet–until the dreams come. Dreams that pour into his safe, snug world from the wise old cat Majicou: hazy images of travel along the magical highways of the animals, of a mission, and of a terrible responsibility that will fall on young Tag. Armed with the cryptic message that he must bring the King and Queen of cats to Tintagel before the spring equinox, Tag ventures outside.<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;" />But had ancient Majicou somehow misjudged? Tag barely knows his own backyard and is scarely equipped for a quest out into the wide world! But ready or not, Tag is catapulted into the unknown to face danger and win allies in the wily urban fox Loves a Dustbin, and the far-seeing magpie One for Sorrow. Along the way, others will join their quest: Cy, the strange little tabby; Sealink, the globe-trotting cat with an eye for a handsome tom; and Mousebreath, wise in the ways of the world. Together, this band of frightened yet courageous animals will brave the wild road to seek the King and Queen.<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;" />But finding the royal pair is only half the challenge, as an evil human known only as the Alchemist doggedly pursues the Queen for hisown ghastly ends. For the Queen, a descendant of the legendary line of Golden Cats, holds the key to an ancient prophecy that foretells enormous power for those who control this rare and extraordinary breed.<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;" />And if the Alchemist achieves his goal, the world can never be safe again.</div>

Grace the Cat is not at all like me, as she is forever bent on mischief. But because I am an older and wiser cat, she looks to me for counsel, and so I have allowed Grace to prevail upon me to set down the story of my life as a housecat in the human world. . . .</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px;">
As the irrepressible Foudini M. Cat regales us with his adventures, an exciting story unfolds. After his valiant but frail mother leaves him in search for food and never returns, the starving kitten is taken, hissing and spitting, to a frightening room with cages and men in white coats. Facing the specter of eternal sleep, the homeless cat is adopted by a woman he later calls “Warm.” (“All cats like to make up strange names for things.”)</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px;">
From here Foudini enchants us with splendid tales of his unlikely but ultimately poignant friendship with Sam the Dog; their trips between Cold House in the city and Mouse House in the country; his mystical experiences with famous felines of the past; his near-death in a raging river that leads to a profound act of sacrifice; and his introduction to a silly young thing named Grace, which evolves into something completely unexpected.</div>

A couple in their thirties live in a small rented cottage in a quiet part of Tokyo; they work at home, freelance copy-editing; they no longer have very much to say to one another. But one day a cat invites itself into their small kitchen. It leaves, but the next day comes again, and then again and again. Soon they are buying treats for the cat and enjoying talks about the animal and all its little ways. Life suddenly seems to have more promise for the husband and wife — the days have more light and color.</div>

Jim Qwilleran is a prizewinning reporter who’s been on the skids but is now coming back with a job as feature writer (mostly on the art scene) for the Daily Fluxion. George Bonifield Mountclemens, the paper’s credentialed art critic, writes almost invariably scathing, hurtful reviews of local shows; delivers his pieces by messenger; lives with his all-knowing cat Koko in a lushly furnished house in a moldering neighborhood, and has a raft of enemies all over town.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px;">
He offers the newcomer a tiny apartment in his building at a nominal rent, and Qwilleran grabs it, surmising the deal will involve lots of cat-sitting. Meanwhile, a gallery whose artists get happier treatment from Mountclemens is owned by Earl Lambreth. The acerbic critic has praised paintings there by a reclusive Italian named Scrano; the junk assemblages of Nino, who calls himself a “Thingist,” as well as works by Lambreth’s attractive wife Zoe.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px;">
It’s Zoe who, one night past closing, finds her husband stabbed to death in the vandalized gallery. Days later, Qwilleran, guided by an insistent Koko, finds Mountclemens’s knifed corpse on the patio behind his house.</div>

And my experience in both the emergency room and general practice has clearly shown that prior awareness is crucial to helping pet owners to be prepared and preventive so that they can best protect the cats and dogs they love.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Well, when it comes to our cats, few emergencies are more serious, and few are less well-known amongst cat people than the dreaded <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">urethral obstruction (UO)</strong>. Also known as “urinary obstruction”, cases of UO are extremely distressing and painful for the affected cat (not to mention the distress, heartbreak, and financial strain it takes on the people, too).</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
What’s most frightening though is that <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">a case of UO will quickly progress to death without prompt and appropriate treatment</strong>. So please, whatever you do today, be sure to read and share this post, regardless of whether or not you have a cat, but especially if you have a male cat!</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Overview of feline urethral obstruction</strong>:<br />Cat kidneys make urine in an effort to, amongst other things, regulate the levels of certain compounds and substances within the body. These compounds and substances include water, electrolytes, minerals, and a host of other things. The ability of the cat’s body to then move that urine from their bladder to their litter box is vital to their survival. The urethra is the thin muscular tube that is responsible for carrying urine from the bladder to the “outside world”. Sadly, and with quite disastrous consequences, the urethra can become blocked, preventing a cat from excreting their urine. This is urethral obstruction and it’s definitely a condition you should be familiar with, and one that you can easily take steps to prevent.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">How do you know if your cat is “blocked”</strong>:<br />Cats with a case of UO will typically exhibit a variety of outward signs, the degree and number of which will depend on how long they’ve been blocked, and whether it is a complete blockage or a partial one. I’ll list several of the possible signs below, highlighting some of the more concerning and/or obvious ones. But please note that the list below is not exhaustive. <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If you are seeing any of these signs, get your cat immediately to the vet</strong>. Do not wait “until morning” or “after work” to do so, if your cat has a UO, time is truly of the essence and there’s nothing you can do at home to help them.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
• Multiple and frequent trips to the litter box that result in little or no urine<br />• Howling, crying, or otherwise vocalizing when attempting to urinate<br />• Excessive licking of their back end<br />• Hiding in the closet, under the bed, or elsewhere<br />• Loss of appetite<br />• Vomiting<br />• Ataxia (walking like they’re drunk)<br />• Collapse</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Now you know what <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">urethral obstruction</strong> is and how to recognize it, but this blog post is just a brief overview of this horrible condition. Please don’t stop learning here. There’s a lot more information, including the vitally important and simple steps you can take to help prevent your cat from getting a UO, on my blog here… <a href="http://preventivevet.businesscatalyst.com/the-preventive-vet/cat_can-t_pee-_feline_urethral_obstruction_part_3_-_be_preventive#.UhQsRazD_3h" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #70258b; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Feline Urethral Obstruction: Part 3 – Be Preventive</strong></a>.

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Many cats are picky eaters, so they’re less likely than dogs to be attracted to certain human foods. Nevertheless, it’s important to be aware that some foods can be dangerous to cats.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span class="blue-header-large" style="color: #4978a1; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Bread Dough</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Raw bread dough made with live yeast can be hazardous to cats. When a cat swallows raw dough, the warm, moist environment of the stomach provides an ideal environment for the yeast to multiply, resulting in an expanding mass of dough in the stomach. Expansion of the stomach can be severe enough to decrease blood flow to the stomach wall and affect breathing. Also, as the yeast metabolizes the sugar in the dough, alcohol is produced. The alcohol can be absorbed, resulting in alcohol intoxication. Affected cats can have distended abdomens and show signs such as drunkenness, disorientation and vomiting (or attempts to vomit). In extreme cases, coma, seizures or even death from alcohol intoxication might occur. Cats who have abdominal distention or seem drunk should be monitored by a veterinarian until they recover. All rising yeast dough should be kept out of reach of cats.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span class="blue-header-large" style="color: #4978a1; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Chocolate</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Most cats don’t have a sweet tooth. However, some will eat foods containing chocolate, such as chocolate candy, cookies, brownies and chocolate baked goods. These and other chocolate-flavored treats can cause chocolate intoxication in cats. The compounds in chocolate that are toxic are caffeine and theobromine, which belong to a group of chemicals called methylxanthines. These compounds cause stimulation of the heart and nervous system. The rule of thumb with chocolate is “the darker it is, the more dangerous it is.” White chocolate has very few methylxanthines and is of low toxicity. Dark baker’s chocolate, on the other hand, has high levels of methylxanthines. Plain, dry unsweetened cocoa powder contains the most concentrated levels of methylxanthines. Depending on the type and amount of chocolate a cat eats, the signs can range from vomiting, increased thirst, abdominal discomfort and restlessness to severe agitation, muscle tremors, irregular heart rhythm, high body temperature, seizures and even death. Cats showing more than mild restlessness should be seen by a veterinarian immediately.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span class="blue-header-large" style="color: #4978a1; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Ethanol</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol and drinking alcohol, can be very dangerous for cats. Due to their small size, cats are far more sensitive to ethanol than humans are. Even drinking a small amount of a product containing alcohol can cause significant intoxication. Cats are often attracted to mixed drinks that contain milk, cream or ice cream (e.g., White Russians, alcoholic egg nog and Brandy Alexanders). Alcohol intoxication commonly causes vomiting, loss of coordination, disorientation and stupor. In severe cases, coma, seizures and death can occur. Cats who are intoxicated should be monitored by a veterinarian until they recover.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span class="blue-header-large" style="color: #4978a1; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Moldy Foods</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
A wide variety of molds grow on food. Some molds produce toxins called tremorgenic mycotoxins, which can cause serious or even life-threatening problems if eaten. Cats tend to be finicky, but they can eat molds that grow on dairy products, like cheese and cream cheese. The signs of tremorgenic mycotoxin poisoning generally begin as fine muscle tremors that progress to whole-body tremors and, finally, convulsions that can lead to death in severe cases. Left untreated, these tremors can last for several weeks. Fortunately, they usually respond well to appropriate veterinary treatment.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span class="blue-header-large" style="color: #4978a1; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Onions and Garlic</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
All members of the onion family (shallots, onions, garlic, scallions, etc.) contain compounds that can damage cats’ red blood cells if eaten in sufficient quantities. Garlic tends to be more toxic than onions on an ounce-for-ounce basis, and cooking does not destroy the toxin. While it’s uncommon for cats to eat enough raw onions and garlic to cause serious problems, exposure to concentrated forms of onion or garlic, such as dehydrated onions, onion soup mix or garlic powder, can put cats at risk of toxicosis (poisoning). For example, some sick cats who are fed baby food containing onion powder develop anemia. The damage to red blood cells caused by onions and garlic generally doesn’t become apparent until three to five days after ingestion. Affected cats might seem weak or reluctant to move, or they might have pale gums. Their urine can be orange-tinged to dark red. Cats with any of these symptoms should be examined by a veterinarian immediately. In severe cases, blood transfusions may be necessary.</div>

Dr. Melissa Shelton’s Initial Exposure to Essential Oils</h2>
<blockquote style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 38px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

Dr. Shelton initially became interested in essential oils not for animals, but for her own children.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
They had specialized health needs that prevented use of traditional medications, as well as dyes and other additives.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Melissa saw an announcement for a community education class for natural remedies for coughs and colds and other minor illnesses, so she decided to attend.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As it turned out, the class was about using essential oils to cure ailments, and that’s how she became interested in the subject.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Shelton had already turned away from the use of chemical air fresheners at home and at her veterinary clinic. This was in part due to the bloodwork abnormalities she was seeing in pets exposed to a lot of air fresheners in their environment. When the air fresheners were removed, the bloodwork values returned to normal.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So she was excited about the possibilities for essential oils, because in addition to being safer than chemical air fresheners, they also smelled really nice! </div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Shelton began investigating whether she could use essential oils in her vet clinic safely, but to back up just a bit, she’d actually first been exposed to them years earlier – when she was able to cure her husband’s warts with an essential oil.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
She and her husband had tried many different things to try to get rid of the warts. Eventually they tried clove oil, and it worked. And 10 years later, Melissa still has that same bottle of clove oil!</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Coincidentally, I was also introduced to essential oils almost by accident.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As some of you know, I’m a wildlife rehabilitator. Twenty years ago, the woman I apprenticed under said,</div>
<blockquote style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 38px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

<em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“You know, if you have really stressed wild animals coming in, just put a few drops of very pure pharmaceutical grade lavender oil on a cotton ball, tape it outside of their cage, and you will see an overall calming effect.”</em></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I have done this trick with lavender oil for years. It’s tremendously effective. But suddenly I had people gasping and saying, <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Oh my gosh! There’s not a cat in the room when you’re doing that, right?”</em></div>

A Controversial Treatment</h2>
<blockquote style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 38px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

I started to get a little panicky thinking I might be causing harm with my use of lavender oil.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I asked Melissa if she’d received feedback from others in the veterinary community about the supposed dangers of using essential oils around animals.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Shelton’s experience has been similar to mine. She’s contacted regularly by others in our profession with questions like, <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“How dare you even recommend that you could do this [use essential oils] around cats?”</em></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Melissa has been using essential oils in her practice for about three years now, but before that, she was cautious about even using a diffuser at home with her own cats (she has over a dozen at the moment!).</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
She would watch her kitties very carefully for reactions to the diffuser. And she ran tons of bloodwork to reassure herself they were healthy.</div>

Then Dr. Shelton noticed that her Munchkin cat spent a lot of time at the diffuser, lying next to it. In fact, she actually delivered a litter of kittens right next to it. And it occurred to Melissa that her cat was certainly smarter than most humans when it came to how her body responded to the oils in the diffuser.</div>

But Melissa continued to check blood and urine in her cats and monitor them closely. Over time she felt confident no abnormalities were developing and she began to relax with the idea of essential oils around cats.</div>

Then it occurred to her the kitty probably didn’t lay next to the diffuser just because she liked it, and that there were certainly more compelling reasons driving her to be close to it.</div>

The Quality of the Oils is Paramount</h2>
<blockquote style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 38px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

I asked Melissa whether she thinks the information about essential oils and animals comes from those who are simply misinformed, or is there an element of fear mongering involved.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
She believes it’s a little of both. She’s done her own research on reports of toxicity from oils, hoping to learn why some people can successfully use them and others are so dead set against them.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And from her research, she has determined it comes down to an issue of the quality of the essential oils used – just as many things in veterinary medicine come down to quality. For example, pet food. When we see pets that have become ill thanks to a poor diet, we recommend the owner upgrade the diet as soon as possible. We don’t outlaw all pet food because there are low quality brands on the market – we just pick a better food.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Shelton says it became very obvious to her that there are just as many variations in the quality of essential oils as there are in brands of pet food. She has her own brand preferences based on the quality of the oils. As a holistic vet, when she finds a product that is safer or more effective, that’s the one she uses and recommends to clients.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When it comes to essential oils, what Dr. Shelton has found is a lot of people jumped on the bandwagon initially because it was a natural remedy. But the majority of those folks had no knowledge of essential oils, or how to distinguish a high quality grade from a lesser grade of oil. She has discovered even companies that are big warehouses for essential oils don’t understand about testing the quality of the oils, or how to evaluate an oil at all. They just warehouse them.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There’s a lot of misinformation out there was well. Dr. Shelton has spoken directly to people with cats that have been damaged by essential oils, so it does happen – just not as often as many people think.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Melissa has met or knows of thousands of people who use essential oils successfully, and only a few that have had major problems with them.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I asked her if in her experience, problems from use of essential oils were primarily a purity or potency problem, or a mishandling problem.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Shelton believes it’s a quality problem (for example, a five-dollar bottle of essential oil purchased from the local drug store is mostly likely a poor grade oil), and also a mishandling problem when the person gets the oil home. She can usually trace a problem with an essential oil back to it being a synthetic oil, a poor grade oil, or a situation of misuse by the consumer. For example in one instance, a bottle spilled and a cat wound up basically covered in essential oil.</div>

How Dr. Shelton’s Passion for Essential Oils Developed</h2>
<blockquote style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 38px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

I wanted to know if Dr. Shelton’s passion for essential oils for animals developed gradually, or rather suddenly.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
She says she was always drawn to them but initially thought she couldn’t be around them much because of her own sensitivities to odors and inhalants. In fact, she actually thought she was allergic to them.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then she was exposed to very high quality oils, and she was instantly energized. She began devouring books on essential oils and became very passionate and a huge advocate.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sometime after that, she had a patient at her vet clinic that had her stumped. She felt there was nothing more she could do for the animal – there was nowhere else to turn. Every veterinarian is faced at some point in their careers with such a patient.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But Dr. Shelton suddenly found herself with several of those patients almost simultaneously. The pets’ owners were telling her, <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Look, I’m not giving up on this animal, so you better come up with something else.”</em></div>

Cowboy the Cat and Essential Oils</h2>
<blockquote style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 38px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One such patient is Cowboy the cat. Cowboy has upper motor neuron damage to his bladder and can’t urinate. Dr. Shelton hospitalized him over and over and over again, but his owner refused to give up. She’s willing to do anything to help Cowboy – surgery if there was any that would help, taking him wherever she needed to, to have his bladder drained safely on a regular basis, or whatever was required. She was willing to do anything.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Shelton kept gently suggesting it might be time to euthanize Cowboy, but his mom’s response was always, <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“No! No! No!”</em>So Melissa eventually decided that if Cowboy was human, she would try certain essential oils, and his owner agreed.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So try they did. And while Dr. Shelton had every intention of weaning the cat off the essential oils after a period of time, Cowboy’s mom insistently continued with the remedy. Dr. Shelton was sure she was going to see bad news in his bloodwork from the ongoing use of essential oils, but his test results came back perfect. And she was more convinced than ever that “these things really work.”</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
She convinced Cowboy’s owner to back off the oils to every other day … and the cat had a relapse.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Melissa continues to follow Cowboy’s bloodwork. And for over two years now he’s been getting essential oil treatments twice a day, topically, using a mixture of several oils. His bloodwork is, in a word, spectacular. In fact, he’d just been in the day before our interview. Dr. Shelton re-checked his blood values and it seems Cowboy is actually regaining some neurologic function!</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Cowboy is an amazing case, of course, and one of Melissa’s all-time favorites.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I wanted to know if Cowboy can urinate on his own now all time. Dr. Shelton says not completely. His bladder is still slightly enlarged, but it releases urine more easily than before. In fact, it releases when he sleeps, which indicates improvement in the neural tone.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And Cowboy can actually urinate in a small puddle instead of just dribbles these days. He’s also showing a small panniculus response when he’s petted, which is a bit of twitching of the hair and skin down his back – also a good sign. And he can twitch his tail ever so slightly.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When Melissa first started seeing Cowboy, he had to be hospitalized almost monthly to relieve the urinary blockage. His bladder would be the size of a cantaloupe. It was horrible for the cat – being catheterized and hospitalized until he was feeling better – then sending him home only to see him the next month to do it all over again.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Since he’s been on the essential oils, he’s gone over a year without a hospitalization. <a href="http://mercola.fileburst.com/PDF/HealthyPets/Cowboy'sStory-CatsOilsHope.pdf" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; color: #0869bd; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">Read more about Cowboy here.</a></div>

The Miracle of Dr. Shelton’s Very First Feline Essential Oils Patient</h2>

I told Melissa I assumed Cowboy’s mom just be ecstatic to see her pet get so much relief and improved quality of life from an inexpensive, non-invasive therapy. Dr. Shelton says the client has spent only a fraction of just one hospitalization on essential oil treatments.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I asked Melissa if there was a specific case earlier in her career as a vet that sparked her interest in sort of going against the grain of traditional treatments toward incorporating alternative remedies like essential oils in her practice.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
She responded that actually it was her own cat who was her first essential oils patient. She was an outdoor ‘farm cat’ (the Sheltons do cat rescues). One day she came stumbling up the driveway with clear signs of a severe neurologic problem. Dr. Shelton actually prepared euthanasia solution because she assumed there was no hope for the poor cat.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Before she could use it, however, her husband suggested – since she’d wanted to try essential oils with cats – that she try them first before euthanizing the kitty.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So with literally nothing to lose, Melissa decided to try treating their farm cat with essential oils. She did what is called a “kitty raindrop.” Within two doses the cat was 100 percent back to normal.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It was such an amazing result – and also, remember, her first experience using essential oils on an animal – that Dr. Shelton wondered whether it was truly the oils that helped or whether the cat would have recovered on her own.</div>

Getting Started with Essential Oils for Pets</h2>

I next asked Melissa if she has advice for people interested in getting started very safely using essential oils with pets.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Shelton’s opinion is that first and foremost, the quality of the essential oils must be very good. She has evaluated the oils from about two dozen different companies. There are some good small companies that provide what she calls medical-grade oils (because she uses them for medicinal purposes). But she has found that just because a company has some very good quality oils doesn’t mean all their oils are of the best quality.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It’s important to be very cautious when it comes to the quality of essential oils. Dr. Shelton has a brand she uses made by a company that consistently researches products for medical-grade quality. Their oils are tested multiple times in independent labs.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Shelton has a website at <a href="http://www.oilyvet.com/" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; color: #0869bd; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">www.oilyvet.com</a>. She’s so passionate about essential oils for animals she created the site specifically for the purpose of educating pet owners. She answers many of the questions she’s been asked by pet owner after pet owner about essential oils for dogs, cats and other companion animals. She also discusses the brand of essential oils she uses and provides a link for people interested in ordering their own oils.</div>

The goal of Dr. Shelton’s website is to get information out to as many people as possible through videos and other educational materials. Prior to launching the site, people would drive from other states to her vet clinic just to get information on essential oils. Melissa realized many people are curious and others share her passion for the subject, so her website evolved to get information into the hands of those people.</div>

Essential Oils to Treat MRSA</h2>
<blockquote style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 38px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

I’ve become keenly interested in essential oils as one of the few effective treatments for MRSA, and other antibiotic resistant bacterial infections. I really believe one of our last resorts to successfully treat these horrible infections lies with essential oils.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Shelton agrees. She has MRSA patients who have responded to essential oils when nothing else worked.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The beauty of essential oils is plants change, and so every single distillation of essential oils is slightly different from its predecessor. This is a benefit we don’t receive from pharmaceutical drugs. Every batch of a medical drug must by law be identical to the batch that preceded it.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Plants, on the other hand, adapt and change with the tiniest variable in their environment, for example, a change in the water supply. So essential oils, created from ever-adapting plants, never reach a point where pathogens become resistant to them. They stay at least one step ahead – which makes them much smarter than anything we can create in a laboratory.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Shelton says she’s reached the point with essential oils where she thinks, <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Boy, if somebody tries to take them away from me, I don’t know if I’d want to practice veterinary medicine anymore.”</em></div>

She compares it to how we view the issue of nutrition in animal health. We are both huge proponents of the importance of nutrition in the lives of our patients and all animals. If we couldn’t modify a pet’s diet as part of our healing protocol, our jobs would become incredibly difficult.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Shelton sees them as a pair, diet and essential oils. She always starts with the diet. If she’s not able to convince a pet owner to make necessary dietary changes and she also meets resistance using even a small amount of essential oils, it gives her an empty feeling. She feels that strongly about the benefits of good nutrition and the use of essential oils in pet care.</div>

Essential Oils – True Holistic Healing</h2>

One thing that adds to the amazing power of essential oils is they work at emotional and cognitive levels as well as at the physiologic level. Many pets have dramatic improvement in their response to stress and anxiety with the use of oils.</div>

They affect animals down deep, at the cellular level, positively impacting neurochemistry and biochemistry. This, of course, makes for more balanced, happier patients who are also regaining physical health.</div>

Melissa uses essential oils to help with behavior modification in pets as well. In fact she has a video you can watch at her website about Emmett, a parrot with a horrendous case of papillomatosis – a viral form of avian warts that can affect the entire GI tract. Emmett had growths in his mouth, down his throat, and all the way to the other end of him. The condition was so advanced it caused the bird to breathe so loudly he woke up his owner from several rooms away in the middle of the night.</div>

Once again, euthanasia was on the table in order to end Emmett’s suffering. But Dr. Shelton remembered she’d gotten rid of her husband’s warts with essential oils, and wondered if they would work for poor Emmett.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
With great trepidation, because birds are so exquisitely sensitive and fragile, Melissa began to treat Emmett with essential oils. And guess what? The papillomatosis greatly improved. But that’s not the end of the story.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As it turns out, Emmett had watched his previous owner die and then laid in the bottom of his cage for several days before anyone found him. Now, remember Dr. Shelton was primarily focused on the bird’s physical problem, the papillomatosis, and hadn’t given much thought to his emotional state.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Because the essential oils had worked so remarkably on Emmett’s disease, Melissa wanted to take some photos of him for an upcoming presentation. She used another blend of essential oils on Emmett that were intended strictly for photo op purposes … and the bird’s emotions changed. You can actually see it happen on the video posted at her website.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Emmett came out of his cage on his own for the first time in over two years. And Melissa was stunned to realize she’d been largely overlooking the emotional component in her use of essential oils on animals. <a href="http://www.oilyvet.com/uploads/26-2010_Emmett_s_Story_-_Essential_Oils_and_Birds.pdf" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; color: #0869bd; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">Read more about Emmett here.</a></div>

This is one of the most exciting things about essential oils to me – they promote healing on every level – spiritually, energetically. They are the essence of a holistic approach to healing – mind, body, spirit. As Melissa puts it, essential oils “connect all the dots.”</div>

So Why All the Negativity?</h2>

I’ve been thrilled to watch Dr. Shelton expand her educational process in essential oils. She is helping to change the negative opinion many people have about them.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I’m not by nature much of a cynic, but I’ve often wondered who or what is really behind the bad reputation essential oils have acquired in the last 10 years.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Is the bad press coming from pharmaceutical companies that don’t want the public to learn just how beneficial, broad-reaching and inexpensive essential oil therapy can be? Are the forces behind the ‘negativity movement’ afraid pet owners will find out just how cheaply and successfully we can treat the minds, bodies and souls of companion animals?</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Wherever the negativity has come from, I just want to say I’m a huge admirer of Dr. Shelton’s work in overcoming it. She’s out there helping pet owners and others challenge their fears of essential oils in a logically sound way so that they can open their minds to a totally natural, very effective form of healing for animals.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; margin-bottom: 16px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I just really appreciate everything Melissa is doing, and I want to thank her for spending some time with me today discussing her work and amazing success treating animals with essential oils.</div>

Can I use Essential Oils for Cats?</h1>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Essential oils for cats is a highly controversial topic but it really is an argument that boils down to the quality of the oil once again. I can assure you that 90% of the oils I recommend and sell on this site have been used for cats on a daily basis.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
But besides the fact that <a href="http://www.experience-essential-oils.com/therapeutic-grade-essential-oil.html" style="color: #c898c8;">therapeutic grade oils</a> must be used there are other precautions that can be taken to assure that your feline can use the oils safely. Dr. Melissa Shelton, DVM, a holistic veterinarian has used Young Living Oils for over 3 years in her practice safely and effectively. Her <a href="http://www.experience-essential-oils.com/pet-home-remedy-books.html" style="color: #c898c8;">book documents the uses of oils for animals</a>. So, please purchase it and read it if you have concerns.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>Unfortunately, I can not stand behind other oils for essential oils for cats. Please do not use anything on your cat but therapeutic grade oils that can be taken internally!</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>Why are Cats sensitive to Synthetic Products?</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Cats are sensitive to most synthetically made products and "natural products" as well as some essential oils. Even if we don't know about it!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
I say that because a lot of us have sensitivities to food, household cleaners and, hair and skin products. But we <b>don't recognize</b> it because most of us are just not that tuned into our bodies and our environment. Often times, we only recognize a change, when we stop using a product or eating a particular food item!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Seriously, where is your pet when you bomb the house full of synthetic air fresheners, household cleaners or carpet cleaner?</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
They are right there with us <b>breathing it in</b> and taking it in! Honestly, this is<b>not good for us</b> and <b>NOT good for our pets</b>. Toxicity is a huge problem with us and OUR PETS! They are half our size or less, yet their bodies have to tolerate a huge amount of man made toxicity.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
I seriously believe that many of the health problems we are having along with our pets is a <b>toxicity issue</b>. But there is something we can do about it!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Make a <b>commitment</b> to using <a href="http://www.experience-essential-oils.com/going-green-in-your-home.html" style="color: #c898c8;">green cleaning supplies</a> and diffusing healthy essential oils in <b>our home and work place</b> for ourselves and our pets. Notice, I don't say natural, because natural these days pretty much means anything goes! So, check what you are putting on your animal and make sure it's not<b>hurting</b> them rather than <b>helping</b> them.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>So what else can we do for our Animals?</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Essential oils are a perfect solution for us and our animals. Use essential oils for cats, dogs, horses and any other living creature. There are certain oils that we can not use on certain animals, cats included, so please do be careful and learn the ins and outs.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>Why can't we use certain oils on Cats?</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Cats metabolize and excrete things very differently than the rest of the animal family. The reason behind this is the cats liver. It does not have the liver enzymes to break down certain chemical as effectively as the rest of us, and sometimes it can't do it at all!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>So what Happens?</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
When the liver (and the body) does not recognize a substance, as with most synthetic compounds, it <b>immediately stores it</b> somewhere until it can figure out what to do with it! This leads to toxicity, tumors, disease and extreme imbalances of the body.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
For cats it can be a slow build up over time and led to <b>illness</b>, or it can be so<b>quick</b> that it leads to death, so <b>please be cautious</b>. By the way, while humans and other animals do not have to be this cautious, the toxicity issues result in the <b>same</b> problems!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Animals can not tell us what they are feeling and they are constantly<b>bombarded</b> with our <b>lifestyle choices</b>. So we must learn to look for and recognize the signs and symptoms of toxicity in our animals!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>What are the signs of Toxicity?</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Here are some <b>common</b> signs -</div>
<ul style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px; margin: 0px 0px 8px 10px; padding-left: 40px;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 8px 5px;">There is a change in their sleeping or eating habits<br /></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 8px 5px;">Behavioral changes such as lethargy, lack of energy, or not wanting to be play<br /></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 8px 5px;">Digestive imbalances such as vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, or<br /></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 8px 5px;">Confusion and light headed.</li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
There are several more as well. My dog, Lexie, has a hard time going up the stairs and doesn't really want to eat when she has had a good dose of toxicity. I usually can trace it back to some kind person providing her with an unnatural treat or spraying her with a synthetic product unknowingly. But I know the signs and I know its time to detox her liver!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>What else is different about Cats?</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Cats seem to have a disregard for strong odors and definitely have thin skin. So again, when you are diffusing oils in your home, <b>remember your pets</b>. Also make sure you use the oil correctly and with high dilution.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>So What Supports the Cat's Metabolism?</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Supporting the cat with <a href="http://www.experience-essential-oils.com/ningxia-red-wolfberry-juice.html" style="color: #c898c8;">Ninxgia Red Wolfberry Antioxidant Drink</a> and/or Enzymes is the best way to ensure that your cat can metabolize essential oils. This is not always necessary for most young or healthy cats, but it does help any cat so therefore it is recommended.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>What Essential Oils for Cats can we Use?</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
First, let's start with the essential oils for cats that we should use with <b>caution</b>. Meaning make sure these oils are diluted; and if you have a cat with liver issues, choose an oil that has similar properties that does not challenge the liver to such an extent.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Cats are particularly sensitive to a group of oxygenated compounds called<b>ketones</b> and <b>phenols</b>, and some <b>monoterpenes</b>. It is the <b>thujone</b> content in ketones and <b>carvacal</b> in phenols that seem to create most of the problems when not used with enzymes. Carvacrol is a byproduct of d-limonene which is found in all citrus fruits and in many tree oils.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Examples of essential oils for Cats that should should be used with caution meaning highly diluted are shown below. I say cautiously because all of single oils are fine when used in a professionally made therapeutic blends or supplements (more below); and when used correctly!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
And just as with humans, each <b>animal's chemistry</b> and <b>blood type</b> is different so the response is different!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>Examples of Phenols</b> – Wintergreen, Anise, Birch, Clove, Basil, Tarragon, Fennel, Oregano, Thyme, Mountain Savory, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Calamus, Cinnamon Bark, Citronella, Marjoram, Nutmeg, Eucalyptus citriodora, Parsley, Ylang Ylang. These all contain greater than <b>8%</b> phenols.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Please note that I have performed Raindrop Technique on cats which include many of these oils---so there are many factors to evaluate when using essential oils for cats.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>Examples of Ketones</b> – Western Red Cedar, Idaho Tansy, Marigold, Spearmint, Thuja, Hyssop, Davana, Sage, Dill, Yarrow, Peppermint. All these oils contain greater than <b>20%</b> ketones.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>Example of Oils containing D-Limonene</b> - Grapefruit, Bitter Orange, Orange, Tangerine, Mandarin, Lemon, Celery Seed, Lime, Bergamot, Angelica, Dill, Neroli, Blue Tansy, Citronella and Nutmeg.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>Examples of Oils containing Alpha-pinene</b> – Cypress, Cistus, Pine, Douglas fir, Juniper, Myrtle, Rosemary Verbenon, Silver Fir, Angelica, Nutmeg, Eucalyptus, Dill, Spruce. These are all monoterpenes that have alpha-pinene concentrations greater than <b>15%</b>.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Here is a list of single oils that I use infrequently or not at all with cats in particular: Black Pepper, Cardamon, Carrot Seed, Celery Seed, Cinnamon Bark, Citronella, Clove, Galbanum, Ginger, Juniper, Melaleuca species (use with extreme caution and monitor cat), Palmarosa, Petitgrain and Western Red Cedar.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Once again, any blends that contain these oils I rarely avoid.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
I did not give you that list to scare you, but to provide you with more information. When we have good information it is <b>easier</b> for us to make <b>better choices</b> for our self as well as our pet.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">

And many more!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>Can I use any Kind of Essential Oil for Cats?</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Essential oils for cats need to be therapeutic grade essential oils. <b>This is extremely important!</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Most of the problems associated with essential oils whether they are for human or animal use stem from the fact that people use <b>perfume quality oils</b> in the same way that they use therapeutic grade oils. These are <b>totally different</b> and cause <b>more harm</b> than good! Particularly with cats!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
For instance, there are many people who I know that use <a href="http://www.experience-essential-oils.com/melaleuca-alternifolia-essential-oil.html" style="color: #c898c8;">Tea Tree</a> (<i>Melaleuca alternifolia</i>) and <a href="http://www.experience-essential-oils.com/uses-of-eucalyptus.html" style="color: #c898c8;">Eucalyptus</a> oils routinely on their cat and have no problems. But it is cited in most aromatherapy books not to use these essential oils for cats. And they give examples of where the cat is rushed to the vet!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>Did you know that there are many veterinarians who recommend the professionally made blends on this website?</b> Yes, they are used routinely in their practice and they contain many of the oils that are not for use on cats. One example is <a href="http://www.experience-essential-oils.com/peace-and-calming-essential-oil.html" style="color: #c898c8;">Peace & Calming</a> blend which contains many different citrus oils. Another one is <a href="http://www.experience-essential-oils.com/melrose-essential-oil.html" style="color: #c898c8;">Melrose</a> that contains clove and tea tree oil that is excellent for cuts and disinfection.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
If your animal has a <b>serious medical condition</b> or if you are <b>not sure</b> about applying any essential oil to your animal please <b>consult</b> your vet. There are holistic vets who routinely use essential oils in their practice with great success!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>What is the Difference in Essential oils for Cats?</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
It is the quality of the oil. If the oil is adulterated which means cut with synthetics, of course your animal is going to have a reaction! I'm not saying that certain oils should not be used, but this should be the first factor when deciding to use an essential oil or not.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>How do I use Essential Oils for Cats?</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Essential oils for cats should be <b>highly diluted</b> with a high grade pure vegetable oil. Dilute essential oils for cats (and all other smaller animals) at least<b>50:1</b> (fifty drops of dilution oil to one drop of essential oil). Dr. Mary Hess, DVM, recommends that Peace & Calming be diluted at <b>80-90%</b> for felines.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Place a drop of the diluted oil on the inside of the paw or location of say cut or injury. Place some in your hands and pet your cat gently ears to tail.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Diffusing oils is a great way to use essential oils for cats. Lastly, you could place a few drops in a sprayer with some water, shake it up and gently mist--but most cats usually don't like this method of application.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
<b>I heard of using Hydrosols, can I Use them? What are they?</b></div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">
Hydrosols are the water based byproduct of the essential oil distillation. They are also called hydrolats or floral waters. They are perfectly safe to use for cats. But again, just like with essential oils, it is <b>NOT</b> the oil or hydrosol; it is the <b>quality or source</b> of the essential oil!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">

Use warm olive oil with lavender and clean the ear. Use it inside and outside of the ear. Dilute as described above.</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">

Bath the cat in lavender and roman chamomile. Remember the dilution requirements!</div>
<div style="color: #747474; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.6000003814697px; line-height: 16.7280006408691px;">

Make a dilution of <a href="http://www.experience-essential-oils.com/cedarwood-essential-oil.html" style="color: #c898c8;">Cedarwood</a> and <a href="http://www.experience-essential-oils.com/benefits-of-lavender-oil.html" style="color: #c898c8;">Lavender</a> oil and brush it into the cat. If not to bad, make a spray mist with water and gently spray the cat to deter fleas. Go to the natural flea remedies section for more information.</div>

By night, this cat eliminates anywhere but the box. </span><br /><br /><input name="checkbox2" type="checkbox" value="checkbox" /><span style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Behavioral </span><br /><input name="checkbox3" type="checkbox" value="checkbox" /><span style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Medical</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Answers</span><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1) <strong>Behavioral.</strong> The minimum amount of litterboxes in a house should be one box per cat plus one extra. Keep the litterboxes in different areas of your home; if you have multiple cats, one cat might prevent others from approaching the litterboxes because they are located within his territory.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">2) <strong>Behavioral.</strong> This situation points to middening, the act of marking territory with feces. When cats do this near doorways to the outside, they could be apprehensive of stray or neighborhood cats and want to claim their ground. A declawed cat is more prone to feel like she has fewer defenses at hand.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">3) <strong>Medical.</strong> Bladder stones can prevent cats from eliminating properly because they cause pain during urination. Blood is sometimes visible in urine when stones occur, another sign that your cat needs veterinary care.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">4) <strong>Behavioral.</strong> This is spraying, also known as urine marking. Neutered cats, even intact and spayed females, aren’t immune to marking, which often occurs when cats are not getting along in a household or when an indoor cat sees a stray through a window or door. Rarely, a cat frustrated by not being able to do something or having problems with a human to whom it is attached may spray.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">5) <strong>Medical.</strong> If your cat is spending extra time in the litterbox this could be a sign of either urinary tract problems (infections, stones, inflammatory disorders, kidney disease) or lower gastrointestinal problems (colitis, megacolon). Please see you veterinarian as soon as possible to have a thorough physical examination, blood work and a urinalysis performed.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">6) <strong>Behavioral.</strong> A move to a new home can traumatize cats, who are territorial creatures of habit. After eliminating any possibility of a medical condition that would cause this behavior, begin retraining your cats to use litterboxes in your new home by keeping cats in a sanctuary room and reintroducing them to the house.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">7) <strong>Medical.</strong> Leaving feces uncovered indicates a colonic condition, and the malodorous feces could be the result of the carbohydrate in your cat’s diet. Bring your cat to a vet and talk about switching your cat’s diet.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">8) <strong>Behavioral.</strong> Litterbox location is key to maintaining good habits. A litterbox that isn’t well lit at night could be difficult for your cat to navigate. Keep your box in lit areas far from heavy household traffic but not tucked in limited access areas.</span></div>

<br />
I feed my kids with chunks of raw chiken breast aprox.
2cm x 2cm or bigger that I let in <span lang="RO" style="background: white;">lukewarm</span><span lang="RO"> </span>water
for a few minutes. This time the meat absorbs water (and I let in their plates
some water over the meat). If the meat is very cold, than the water is warmer
so that the cats do not get cold. I do not use a knife to make chunks, but a bigger
inox scissors that I used to cut paper.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1-2 meals a week I gave them raw chicken gizzards,
hears and liver. Liver has many vitamins; althought the excess of liver is not
recomanded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I add to their meal
the skin from the chicken breast and bones from the chicken breast cut In small
pieces. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I give them 2 meals a
day. Usualy they eat 130 g -160 g / day, less in summer and more in winter. To
those who are not greedy, I let them eat
as much as they want.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is not recomanded
to feed cats with dry food and with raw in the same time as the dry food
stays a very long time in the stomach
and the raw meat , that usualy is digested very quick, can be alterated in the
intestines mixed with dry food.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This method of feeding
has these advantages:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- cats do not get fat
and I can control very easy their weight<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- they do not need to drink
extra water as the meat is full of water <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- with this menu the
acidity / ph of their urine is between 6 - 6.5. so that the risk of making struvites
stones decreases. I control time to time
their urine ph and it is between this limits. The ph increase only if they are
ill. That is very important specially for the tomcats.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- the pops smell much
less ! this is quite incredible! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- they are healthier
as the canned and dry cat food is fool of additives. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- they will not made
diabetis as they do not eat cereals (cats are not recmanded to consume cereals
that most cat food contain)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- their furr is very
healthy, all my visitors are astonished of their shiny furr<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
If you intend to feed your cat with raw meat you have to be prepared for a big stroke. As the canned and dry food have a lot of additives, the cat will refuse to eat something else for 2-3-4 days. But don't be affraid, she will not die before eating raw food :) .</div>

<br />
Published by catingtonpost<br />
<br />
Cats are like potato chips – you can’t have just one!<br />
So, how do you keep the peace with more than one curious, outspoken, opinionated, crazy cat all occupying the same space? It takes time, patience, training, understanding, and a bit of creative home décor to prevent feline turf wars.<br />
<br />
How Can I Keep the Peace?<br />
Though some cats may never become the best of friends, most all of them can learn to peacefully co-exist. They will eventually establish a hierarchy among the group and will learn to accept their position within it. But until multiple cats learn to co-exist with their siblings, they may relentlessly stalk, block access to the litter box, or otherwise terrorize each other.<br />
<br />
You’ll need to make some unique adjustments to your home environment and your daily routine to accommodate multiple cats.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have enough resources and space for all the cats. You wouldn’t dare live with 7 cats in a studio apartment. They would be on top of each other (and I don’t even want to think about where you'd put enough litter for all of them!).<br />
<br />
These are some adjustments you’ll need to make if you’ve got multiple cats in your space:<br />
Litter Boxes:<br />
The rule of thumb is to have a litter box for each cat. Litter boxes should be spread out throughout the home, not all in the same area. If one cat is nervous about passing a more aggressive cat to get to the litter box, you may start finding that little angel urinating somewhere that he feels more comfortable. Like on your expensive living room rug.<br />
<br />
Create a Multi-Cat-Friendly Environment:<br />
There might be one really comfy, warm chair in your living room that all the cats love, and they will probably bicker over who gets to sleep in it. Provide lots of other cozy spots to reduce squabbles. Padded window perches, warm beds, and blankets everywhere will give your gang plenty of comfortable options.<br />
<br />
This is important. Give your cats multi-level spaces to sit and sleep. Cat trees, bookshelves, and window perches – anything will work – as long as they are at varying heights. Not only does cat furniture increase the vertical space in your home giving the cats more space, it allows your furkids to maintain their pecking order.<br />
<br />
<br />
They’ve got plenty of space but they’re still growling! What now?<br />
Help those cats blow off some steam with exercise! Help relieve tension and smooth relationships with intense play sessions. Your cats will focus on a toy instead of each other. Play with your cats all together but also make an effort to play with each of them one-on- one to build their confidence.<br />
<br />
Give them separate resources. You’re halfway there by providing plenty of litter boxes in various places, but try feeding them in their own separate spaces to make sure none of your cats are stressed or intimidated by others at feeding time. This will also help those of you who have cats that like to “scarf and barf”.<br />
<br />
<br />
Try pheromones or homeopathic remedies to reduce stress in cats that don’t get along. Feliway diffusers might be useful to calm your kitties. They emit synthetic facial pheromones into the air that can help some cats.<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"> <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=feliway+diffuser&_from=R40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40&_osacat=20737&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR6.TRC1.A0.H0.Xrescue+remedy&_nkw=rescue+remedy&_sacat=20737"><b>Rescue Remedy</b></a></span> is a homeopathic solution that is also known to help relieve stress in some cats. Both can be found online and are worth a shot.<br />
<br />
Wait it out. If growling is your only problem, try giving it time. <br />
<br />
If your problem is more severe, you may need to enlist the help of an animal behaviorist or your veterinarian. </div>

In mai multe orase exista de ani ori adoptate de curand HCL-uri prin care se conditioneaza detinerea de animale de companie, caini si pisici, de acordul locatarilor sau asociatiei de proprietari. Cu precadere in ultima perioada, in baza acestor HCL-uri multi cetateni au fost hartuiti si amendati.</div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 1em 0px 1em 0cm;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 1em 0px 1em 0cm;">
Un asemenea HCL a fost adus la cunostinta Federatiei Nationale pentru Protectia Animalelor - FNPA, precum ca functioneaza cu mult “succes” si in Targu Mures, un caz de notorietate fiind cel al unei familii amendate de 25 de ori in decurs de 4 luni, caz pe care l-am adus si in atentia Comisiei Europene.</div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 1em 0px 1em 0cm;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 1em 0px 1em 0cm;">
Dupa ce am parcurs caile normale si legale, diplomatice, ca si etape initiale, Primaria a sustinut in continuare acest HCL asa ca FNPA a atacat in instanta cateva prevederi ale hotararii, printre care desigur si aceasta. Tribunalul ne-a dat castig de cauza doar partial, am facut recurs impotriva Hotararii Tribunalului Mures, iar la Curtea de Apel am castigat pe deplin, pentru toate prevederile atacate!</div>
