I found your site from Michelle at Boulderneigh (I think), and was immediately enchanted with your furry family. <BR/><BR/>Because I have a bit of an insider's view as far as feline medicine goes, I am in danger of spouting advice at the slightest provocation. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes, particular diets work for very sensitive cats. These diets make use of reconfigured protein molecules, making the proteins "invisible" to the immune system. The reconfigured proteins are "hydrolyzed" to change their structure.<BR/><BR/>Essential Fatty Acids have also been found to be helpful in reducing inflammation and calming immune system hypersensitivity. <BR/><BR/>Castor's case sounds very challenging, but he seems to have the perfect family situation to keep him happy and loved.~TigereyeSal~https://www.blogger.com/profile/13060331677501246437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496770677336134095.post-62477785732938446932009-01-13T17:37:00.000-06:002009-01-13T17:37:00.000-06:00We just took him off steroids.

He's allergic to the ingredients in the pill pockets, not to mention once he bit through one the bitterness of the two pills would make him foam. His diet is already mostly protein.MiniKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395914933366678553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496770677336134095.post-68862500132038357522009-01-13T10:17:00.000-06:002009-01-13T10:17:00.000-06:00Have you considered pill pockets and/or hydrolyzed...Have you considered pill pockets and/or hydrolyzed protein diets? We have had great success with each of these in our practice. Steroids also can be given transdermally, if need be.~TigereyeSal~https://www.blogger.com/profile/13060331677501246437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496770677336134095.post-61261292903105123342009-01-11T22:26:00.000-06:002009-01-11T22:26:00.000-06:00I don't think there's anything worse than having t...I don't think there's anything worse than having to give a cat a pill. :(Miz Minkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14066791877622449156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496770677336134095.post-82060276881480689462009-01-11T22:24:00.000-06:002009-01-11T22:24:00.000-06:00Sorry for the unpleasant situation.

The last time we had to medicate Pooh, it was quite a battle, then a friend recommended a pill popper so we found one at the pet store. Using the pill dispenser was less stressful for Pooh and for us.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00706380092472842786noreply@blogger.com
