I have a friend who has to give her kitty cat sub-q fluids each day. As we were talking about it the other day she said she was concerned about the pain of the area where she has to insert the needle getting sore and aggrevated. I suggested I would find out of there is some kind of ointment or whatever that I could put together for her to put on it so that it could help minimize the pain for her kitty and maybe increase the bodies ability to heal those areas so that each time she injects her it is not more and more painful.

Any ideas?

Hi Caroline,

Just curious but why is your friend giving her cat sub-q liquids every

day? What kind of fluids/liquids is she giving her cat? I would think

that a comfrey salve wouldn't be too good here as there really isn't

much of a wound from a hypo needle. Why is she administering this

substance in the same place every time? A cayenne oil or salve would

help to bring blood to the area and cayenne does have some pain fighting

abilities. I am a little hesitant to suggest any herbs for animals as I

know too little about their metabolism but I might suggest

calendula/cayenne infused oil or salve with maybe St. 's Wort. This

would probably be my best guess on this and I wouldn't hesitate to use it.

Peace, love and light,

No = I'm not sure what is wrong with him. He did seizure a couple

times this winter but nobody has witnessed a seizure lately. I

really don't know and I cannot affort the vet. The raw has been a

huge help in his overall health. I don't beleive in diseases per

say and after seeing what raw has done I do beleive he can only get

better.

Hmmm = no crystals. I say that because I bathed him yesterday and

he peed in the blue tub(modified horse trouph). I held his tail up

while he squirted out about a cup or so, but didn't see any

crystals, nor does his urine smell bad and it is a lighter yellow,

almost clear.

There is miles of stuff on this here is a short clip from

the www.holisticat.com page

3. SUPPLEMENTAL FLUIDS. We can give subcutaneous fluids here, or teach you how

to give them at home.

This is the least intrusive and most beneficial treatment you can give your cat.

Cats in chronic

renal failure drink a lot of water, but they cannot drink enough to compensate

for the loss of

water through the kidneys. Subcutaneous fluids are a good way to help keep the

toxins flushed

out of the bloodstream and make the cat feel much better. If the cat is sick or

not eating,

it may be necessary to hospitalize it for a few days for intravenous fluid

therapy, followed

by subcutaneous fluids at home as needed.
