the scratching and the itching got worse and worse..
she always wears the e-collar except mealtime, bathroom time, and playtime.
we keep close eye on her when she does not wear it.
she sure happy to be free and starts to play, then groom her.
we know she loves to groom herself, and cats can relax when they groom themselves.
so we let her do it, and we stop her when she starts groom around her eyes,,,
but.. she just can’t help to scratch…
only a few scratches made her eyes red..
we will visit a vet tomorrow…
Seeing a holistic (or naturopathic) vet might help. I use a holistic vet for my girls and it made a huge difference.
A Google search for naturopathic vets in NY…

i’m so glad i have this blog! =^v^= and you found us =^_^=
after visiting the links that you sent us,
maybe the raw food diet is the best way for ash (and noa), too.
((( i want them to live healthy and happy at least 20 years old or longer!!! )))
i’ve sometime fed them some boiled vegetables, but not a fresh meet.
i was afraid to feed them raw meat, because of salmonella, or other bacteria.
like the Cat Nutrition.Org said
“if you want to prepare a homemade diet good for you BUT DO IT RIGHT.”
yeah, i need to read them carefully and i’ll make the transition to a new diet slowly..
i haven’t read them all, so when i finish reading, yes! i might ask you some questions!!
Thank you meow much again =^o^=
we’d like to see your girls, too!!!
