Hi Allison! You’re welcome for the post and thank you for rescuing! Unless your vet specifically did an allergy test, they probably won’t find any food allergies or intolerances, which could be what Deputy is suffering from. First of all, I would try to avoid any dry food of any kind. Deputy is probably already dehydrated because of the diarrhea and with no moisture in it, dry food is terrible for even the healthiest of cats. In the wild, cats eat fresh foods with lots of moisture, so that’s what their bodies are designed to eat and will help keep their kidneys untaxed like dry food does. Feeding raw can be scary and intimidating, but don’t let it be. No two raw feeders feed the same and yet we get the same good results. Feeding raw isn’t an exact science. For example, each cat doesn’t need an exact amount of liver and/or bone at every single meal. It just has to be included in their overall diet. I just put some of each powder in an old spice jar and lightly sprinkle it over the food as I cut it up and put it into 24 oz. containers. I very lightly sprinkle it after the container is half full and also on top. Not knowing any better, I had bought an expensive one pound bag of slippery elm powder that will probably last my lifetime. Unless you just need a pound of it for ongoing use, I’d recommend this smaller container of it: http://amzn.to/2u4DSIa Colloidal silver is an inexpensive and effective holistic solution to viral and fungal maladies, too. Colloidal Silver can even be used topically as a natural remedy for rashes, hot spots, and ringworm. Colloidal silver is an available OTC treatment for felines and can aid your pet in many health issues. Some common health issues in which Colloidal silver is used for cats are listed below. 1. Colloidal silver for Cats Skin Issues
As far as feeding, all of my cats are raw fed. Quality canned food became too expensive when I took in a young male cat with a big appetite several years ago, so I switched to raw and have been pleased with the results. I don’t feed (or recommend feeding) any kibble because it is basically carbs and junk that can cause obesity and diabetes, plaque and tartar buildup, plus is hard on a cat’s kidneys since they are designed to eat moisture-rich fresh food like birds, mice, rabbits, etc. Spending the money on better quality food will keep your cat healthy and out of the vet’s office later. My oldest cat came to me older and with bad teeth, which I suspect is a result of his prior home feeding him kibble, which caused a lot of plaque and tartar on his teeth that has caused him issues and that I’ve had to work on. My younger cats all came with plaque/tartar-free teeth and they’ve remained that way on the raw/natural diet. Colloidal silver is a suspension of silver particles in distilled water that acts as an antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal agent. It’s been used for centuries as an antimicrobial agent. In the meantime, this list is only intended as an insight into the natural antibiotics which are of most interest to the scientific community at the moment. 1. Manuka honey Let us now look at the different benefits of using colloidal silver on cats. Benefits of Colloidal Silver for Cats As research into use of natural antibiotics in veterinary medicine continues, more potentially valuable natural antibiotics are being tested and studied.But did you know the synthetic medication we call “aspirin” was originally developed from the bark of willow trees? Since then, the FDA has not approved any new colloidal silver drugs on the market. However, this product is still commonly sold as a dietary supplement ( 1, 2). Furthermore, veterinarians say use of antibiotics too early in a kitten’s life brings a risk of destroying valuable intestinal “good” bacteria that is not fully formed yet. Ideally, affected skin is sprayed 3-4 times a day. Colloidal silver does not need to be covered after applying it to the skin unless there is a reason to cover the skin. (For example, if the dog is scratching or chewing on the skin.) Most cat lovers who regularly administer colloidal silver to their adult cats either squirt an eyedropper full into the water bowl or add a tablespoon. Kittens can be treated the same way. Cat owners may administer colloidal silver orally to adult cats when they exhibit overt signs of infection. They can do this using a regular eye dropper or a plastic syringe.
I will try not to get too technical and keep my response as simple as possible. When using a nebulizer, you want to use ionic silver. Ionic silver particles are safe for lung intake. The smaller particles disperse into the lungs more effectively and then throughout the body via the bloodstream. Colloidal silver is needed for ingestion because the larger particle size won't break down or combine with the salts in the stomach resulting in a useless, ineffective dose. I have used both forms topically.Typically, colloidal silver products are sold as homeopathic remedies. Homeopathy is based on the premise that very low doses of a substance can produce health benefits, though little research supports this ( 7). Some veterinarians are beginning to use oil of oregano (diluted for safety) to treat ear and oral infections, fungal/bacterial/parasitic infections, wounds, burns and rashes, abscesses and boils, and for cold and flu-like symptoms. 5. Echinacea Melo, A.D., et al, “Antimicrobial effect against different bacterial strains and bacterial adaptation to essential oils used as feed additives.,” Canadian Journal of Veterinary Research, 2015. Colloidal silver can be used to treat vomiting in pets. It should be given in small frequent amounts to reduce the risk of the dog or cat vomiting up the remedy. However, overdose is not a risk, so if the dog or cat vomits up the colloidal silver, simply repeat the dose, slowly and gently.
