Guest guest Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Hello Everyone, Hope this finds you all well and your Saturday was an enjoyable one. As I previously mentioned, I have two outdoor cats. Peep is 7 years old. He has suddenly developed terrible matting and he will not let me brush him at all. I am concerned that this is medical rather then a grooming issue.I wanted to know what herbs I could give to him even on a daily basis for his health. I feed him partially raw and he gets a little digestive enzyme and a tinge of preventative C daily. He had this before and I cannot for the life of me remember what rectified it. I was putting alittle organic flax oil in his food but ran out. Maybe that was the stuff that helped? He is my love and I hate to see him uncomfortable. I hope it is okay to ask something about cats here. Thankyou all so much....as always Blessings, Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Toni, Animals are welcome... Got any olive oil.. you could put a bit in.. I don't really know about the matting unless it is due to burs, etc... if you don't get an answer - check a cat group...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Hi Suzi, Thankyou. I am putting olive oil and I got some flax meal though not sure if that is any good or not. I have been trying to get onto the computer for the past 11.5 hours. I am so stressed I feel like I am having a stroke. 85K files gone and finally on here starting from scratch again. Breaks my heart...lol oh well. Anyway, I am researching herbs and cats. Read that dried nettles is very good as a mineral supplement. Was it that gave the cat slippery elm for the runs? Read it is good for their constipation. Guess just like humans things work differently for each other. I appreciate the help. I will let you know what happens. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day Blessings, Toni ----- Original Message ----- From: Suzanne health Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2005 11:32 AM Subject: Re: kitties and herbs Toni, Animals are welcome...
