pet remedies/older cat sensitive skin

[Guest guest]

Cats DO have very sensitive skin and essential oils are not recommended.

Their livers can not process them. I would have her research a raw diet

for cats. The raw cats list on is a great place to really learn

from the pros. Their files have some very valuable info.

 

Just like with people I would look at diet first and any chemicals.

Besides getting off a kibble or cooked food diet I would learn how to

make the correct food for the cat raw and slowly transition. This will

contain the nutrients the cat needs. For now you could buy the Master

Nutrient Formula Feline formula and sprinkle on the food. My cat gets

this and Udo's Greens, nettles, raw vegetables and whole raw meat, organ

meat, bone in the correct ratio.

 

We (my son and I )use their human formula and my four yr old calls it

" candy " His favorite meal is plain organic whole milk yogurt, with raw

almond butter and the Master Nutrient Formula Omega 3 basic.

 

)I have no connection to or interest in this company or their products

btw. I think Udo developed them originally and then there was a falling

out of sorts years ago...they renamed it and he created another company.

Something like that...around 1998 for what it's worth so it's a little

confusing name wise now...)

 

I'd also make sure she is not using harsh shampoos etc. The cat could be

sensitive to something in the environment or just be chemically over

loaded from years of cat fod and possibly vaccinations too. There may be

allergies. Even to carpeting and such.

 

Omega oils and a real balanced diet will really help. My cat was so

malnourished and sick when we got him. He is practically bionic now!

Mega healthy. It's worth a try even at this age.

 

That " snot " formula is egg and oil correct? That could be helpful- also

eggshell. But, I would not approach it piecemeal. I would begin with

elimination and slowly transitioning to a raw cat diet.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Love,

Elizabeth

Hydrosols could be used, and aloe may be soothing -but best to begin

" inside- out " approach...the skin is the filter.

 

If she'd take a small amount of raw apple cider vinegar in the water

this is also good.

Ok...

 

Good night all.

Love,
