The slippery elm...Cammie seems fully recovered now. The slippery elm I used comes in powder form. I mixed a level but packed teaspoon's worth with half a cup of water, brought it to a simmer on the stove, simmered for a couple of minutes, stirring all the while, then let it cool in the refrigerator. The instructions read to give a ten-pound cat five cc. Afterward, I stored it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for a week; I covered my cup of it with plastic wrap, and stirred it when I was to use it again. I heated the syringe in a cup of warm water until it was room temperature; I figured the princess would dislike it less if it were not cold.<br /><br />Others in my rescue-group have used slippery elm to good effect. Kim at the blog Fuzzy Tales also found it useful. Angel Abbey at Manx Mnews recommends adding some regularly to a cat's food, if it will accept it.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-86205050353646937032016-01-06T15:15:43.605-08:002016-01-06T15:15:43.605-08:00Thank goodness!

Too many animal companions have crossed the bridge lately. <br />I've never heard of slippery elm for cats but I certainly plant to keep some in the house from now on. Is there a dosing scale you used? <br />Are you begining to feel at home in your new place?Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172029625828982319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-83556150701708658102016-01-06T06:10:54.614-08:002016-01-06T06:10:54.614-08:00The move may have contributed to her problem, but ...The move may have contributed to her problem, but she wasn't physically troubled by such upheavals in the past.

I've also found that having cats means constantly learning. We can know only what we discover or are told. If I realised how little I knew about these animals when I first brought one into my life, I probably never would have had the nerve.

The vet had given me meds (okay I paid $50 -$60 for them), but the slippery elm did the trick. I gave it to Nicki (as a syrup) for about 10 days, not much each time because I mixed it with his canned, but it seemed to work.<br /><br />Good luck with her, purrs from the boys!Fuzzy Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505853082591216696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-40016948806127977382016-01-05T08:24:40.527-08:002016-01-05T08:24:40.527-08:00that is so odd, this is the third cat I've rea...that is so odd, this is the third cat I've read about in the past few days that has dealt with something like this, although the other two cats were drooling.
