My cat was vomiting a lot due to kidney disease. I took her to her vet who she had only seen for shots and low appetite. She did blood work gave her sub q fluids, an anti nausea shot. Two days later my cat is severely vomiting again and I noticed it was after giving her elura the appetite stimulant. She had me come back in and did two X-rays gave more fluids, another anti nausea shot and a shot to coat the stomach she did this 2 days in a row.My cat now wasn’t pooping for three days and she said don’t give her pumpkin or laxatone bring her back I need to do 2 more X-rays and see what she needs, she may need an endoscopy which is about 5 grand (which I don’t have). I said can we just try an enema for cats? Baby enemas are not for cats n toxic. She goes oh for sure I have cat safe ones it’s gonna need the X-ray n hospital stay so maybe about another 350 dollars, mind you I’m already 1 grand in bills with 3 visits for all this, I said I have no credit left on the card. She goes oh you don’t? Well give her laxatone then. Wtf? She had said no no don’t do that! But now it’s ok??? I got my cats record took her to the vet at the local pound they x-rayed n gave the enema for 95 total. Said give her pumpkin. My cat is eating fine and relaxing now almost back to normal. That vey did not ever call to ask how my cat was doing never wanted to give feedback and when she heard there was no money left she fell of the grid. We couldn’t reach her only her staff would say she’ll call and she never did. Be careful out there pet parents some vets are like the mechanic that wants you to keep coming back to drain your funds. Thank you for your kind heart and wealth of knowledge ❤
@jaxx9204 - I'm so sorry about the vet. I once experienced something similar with my dog. I did an X-ray but said I had to come back to do blood work in a few weeks because I didn't have the funds at the time. She literally turned me around by my shoulders and walked me to reception to check out. I was floored! Of course I never went back to that vet. However, for your kitty...I have had great success using a product call "Kidney Restore For Cats and Dogs". It's a bit pricey but it has been working for my kitty. She has been on it for 3 years and her blood work remains stable. I also use a phosphorus binder for her. Good Luck with your kitty. 💖
Mechanics yea for sure but better yet some of our human doctors, there's good and bad in all I know unfortunately. And it's hard when you're trying to do the best you can for a family member whether it be animal or human, scared to take the doctor's advice or maybe can't afford what there suggesting and also scared not too! Suck been there done that with human family members and animal family members and it's not pleasant at all weather money is a issue or not witch nowaday is usually is but still when it comes to a family member and like I said whether it be "human or animal" and your heart is hurting for them it just truly suck that's why it's so easy for doctors to take advantage because they know most of us would do anything when there's love involved😢 I keep saying I'm not getting any more animals because I get to attached but they keep finding me and trained me to be their caretaker. 😂 God Bless
I am so jealous of the way your furbabies allow you to practice on them. When I try to perform any type of remedies on my 2 pups and kitty, I wind up needing medical attention more than they do. Good job, Doc Jones. 🐶🐶🐱❤
I've got over 40 cats so I know exactly how you feel when trying to give them any type of remedy or medication. My arms are forever covered in scratches when I have to do it. 🇦🇺😻😽
Be careful , Benedryl changed -it’s not always diphenhydramine anymore, sometimes you’ll now see phenylephrine or other things that have replaced it or additional to it. Please read the ingredients and don’t use it if anything other than diphenhydramine is in it as far as active ingredients !
I wonder if you're referring to Doxylamine. Which, is commonly used in Sleep Aids. I'm just trying to Remember if Name Brand Benadryl has a Doxylamine Version.
The vet's recommendations for treating cats: 1. Pepcid (a/k/a famotidine, for vomiting, dose is 2.5 mg. per 10 lbs. of cat's body weight) 2. Polysporin For Eyes (a/k/a polymix and ramicide, for conjunctivitis, dose is 1 drop, 4x per day into each affected eye) 3. Chlorpheniramine (a/k/a chlortripalon, for itching/allergies, 2 mgs., 2-3x per day) 4. Chlorhexidine (for puncture wounds, mix with a little water then use a syringe to flush the area well) 5. Topical Hydrocortisone cream 1% (for red areas of inflamed skin, squirt 1/4-inch on your finger and apply to cat 2x/day for 7-14 days) 6. Benadryl (for allergies or as a mild sedative or for anti-anxiety, 1 mg per lb. of cat's body weight, 2-3x per day) 7. Robaxin (The ONLY active ingredient must be Methocarbamol - the ONLY safe OTC pain relief for cats, 10 mgs. per lb. of cat's body weight, 2x per day) Please forgive misspellings.
At the end of my little Taj's life 2 years ago, her kidney disease was giving her terrible nausea. I gave her your CBD drops which really helped her feel better and she was able to relax and rest in her final days. 😌
My mom's cat is hyperthyroid and on meds. Losing weight and often has little to no appetite. Will share this video with her to see if she wants to try Pepcid. Odd that her own vet never brought up nausea because her kidney values are getter higher.
@@gx8841 try low mercury tuna, tuna water, and tuna juice and chicken broth and bone broth (both with no onions no garlic), plain cooked chicken with no seasoning works good (it’s not nutritionally perfect and ideally would need taurine and other stuff but something is always better than nothing) and also try sardines and anchovies. Fancy feast makes a good one called fish and shrimp and you could add a few anchovies or sardines to the mix to get her to eat more and that would be better nutrient wise, plus the mixture of that particular can is low in fat so some added sardines in oil would help her not lose so much weight. Also try fancy feast baby food. It’s nutritionally dense to help kittens grow and all my cats really like it, I always feed it after surgery mixed with a bit of hot water to help hydration and to promote healing. There’s a box with all four kinds, try that one so you can rotate the choices to give her something new and tasty each time:)
I use D-Mannose powder for my cat's often UTI's. A tiny capsule sized amount of the powder in the wet food, keeps the bladder healthy and haven't had a problem since using this natural supplement. It's much healthier than any drug for humans. I'm so blessed to have a naturopathic vet!💛
Will look into the.My cat is doing much better except for occasional sneeze (once every couple or three days). I’m taking him to the vet after the holidays (bc he won’t get in until). For antibiotics and his shot …. He eats,grooms,drinks,is acting like himself (I’ve done raw honey,l lysine,humidifier runs close to 24/7, a homeopathic decongestant). He still has a dry (mostly) sneeze.
I thoroughly appreciate you & all of the knowledge you share with us. There are vets out there that are so money hungry they refuse to tell you any of these things. Taking a cat to the vet is so stressful for them it's awesome l to be able to treat a few minor ailments at home. Your a vet that truly cares and that is so refreshing to see.
Your channel truly helps a animal lover like me since I am on SS and disability and can not afford a veterinarian, it costs enough just to feed seven cats and two dogs, all my cats come from one mother and I have a hard time getting her to get fixed she is semi-feral comes home to eat, there is only one place to take her to to get fixed Pet Luv and it takes two months to get in, so now I have three more kiitens.
Thank you so much doc. With the current crisis in vet medicine it is so hard to even get an appointment with the veterinarian who will see our pets. Videos like these are such a blessing 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are an extraordinary help in this day and age when alot of us are struggling with money but we don't want to see our babies suffer. Thank you. God Bless you and yours. Please stay safe.
I was charged $300 for my cat to just walk in the door... A total of $800 for an x-ray, .03 mg of pain meds, and the sedative they gave him. That's a mortgage payment and I think it's ridiculous that vets are allowed to charge such inflated prices. I wish they had urgent care for pets. A step down from an animal hospital to treat minor ailments and injuries. The states that a vet practices in should monitor their fees.
Thank you so much Dr. Jones!!!! We put our sweet old Man, Marshall on your feline formula and cbd last year, both have made so much difference in his life it would take my own vlog to fully explain but I bless you for what you are doing both with this channel and your products! I swear I am not a bot or a paid plug (you can send me the photo test if you want, lol) Folks this guy is the REAL DEAL...he's the kind of vet you hope for when you take your buddy through those clinic doors.
Very informative. Thank you Doc. However, I wish you provided a list of the drugs in the description. That way we know the correct SPELLING of the drug's active ingredient. Thank you.
What I find interesting is that vets are quick to treat our pets without asking us and charge us through the roof. This happened to me. Gave my cat an injection without telling me why, the prescribed my cat tablets then charged me 90 pounds. I found the tablets online for 6 pounds. And also if they loved our animals so much why don't they warn us about cat foods that poison our cats? Well... we all know the answer to that one.
The take over of Big Pharma driven university's and capitalistic, HMO pet insurance and their buying up all the private practices and controlling protocols and PRICES, AND DON'T FORGET the Vet Techs and staff who are TRAINED and required to play a pet owner's heart strings and pocket book..... want me to continue? The private practice and affordability of ownership of yesteryear is sadly GONE!
What makes me frustrated and sad is realizing that both vets and pet adoption centers do not properly educate people on what to feed our new pets. Cats should never be put on dry food. Once they are, they are addicted to it and it contributes to their leading cause of death, chronic kidney disease. I have cats I am now trying to transform to only wet cat food and it’s been very difficult for them which is completely understandable. Imagine being fed fast food your entire life and then someone steps in and tells you that you now must eat salads.
Dr. Jones, what a very special person you are and how glad we are to have found you. Our small 8 lb. Dachshund/Chihuahua mix had the cherry eye issue recently. We called around and the Vets could not see her for 3 weeks. One wanted up front money over the phone before we came in. So sad to see the greediness and ignorance in this field of animal care. Thankfully a friend told us to look up cherry eye, and we found your video. I suspected for awhile it might be the hard nuggets by ACANA that we were feeding her from time to time. She loves them, but I believe they are toxic to her now. We are looking into Farmers Dog Food as well as some Raw food companies. She is fed organic chicken, some lamb, and beef. We also give her Wellness or Solid Gold from the can. In her canned food we have been including Moringa, some enzymes, and flax oil. I have been using the Earth Animal Immune drops in her water. As soon as I quit feeding the ACANA nuggets her eye issue is gone. I did the eyewash for a few days and massaged the eye as you suggested and it works. We are so very grateful. She also had an itching problem which has lessened. I did make up the green tea, vinegar and Lavender drops as a s pray to keep her itching under control. She is so much more content, and we are so less fearful now. We are watching your videos to learn all we can to keep her healthy, safe and comfortable. We just love her so much. You are wonderful to animals and it shows. Thank you so much!
Helpful tip. I use hemp oil for my elder cat. I use to slip some in a freshly opened can of food. However , he'd often detect the bitter taste, so no go. Then, I tried a raw egg with 99.9% results! I'd crack an egg into a bowl , whip it up well. Then , twice a day pour a modest amount on a flat dish and mix in hemp oil. The egg lasted roughly 3-4 days. A life saver. Cat has no loose stool from the egg or other. Eggs have excellent vitamins, minerals for cats or people. If concerned, buy organic eggs.
Also: Miralax. My boy cat had severe constipation (a side effect of his special kidney disease), to the point where he was completely backed up. After the enema, they prescribed OTC miralax.
This was so helpful, thank you! Whenever my cats get ill, it always seems to be on Friday nights. Nice to know there's something I can give them to buy some time until Mondays.
Good video, but it would be nice if there was a white board or something visual with the names, dosage, and frequency as a summary. I probably gonna have to watch it a few times before trying to self-medicate my feline, otherwise I would probably end up harming him.
This video is very helpful and informative for cat owners. I used famotidine approximately 2.5mg or less for my 3.2 kg cat for her occasional stomach upset it works , I observe her afterwards very relieved, feeling light and peaceful . Thanks doctor so much for all this helpful information !
Thank you so much doc. My 16 yr cat, we lost her brother a yr ago, and she started peeing on my bed. I have been putting puppy pads on it. We lost 5 animals last year to old age or illness, but it was her littermate my Puffy who she shows signs of acting out. I will get these when I get paid. I have already printed your book out. I appreciate all you have done and all you do. Sandy in Northern California.
Great information!!! This is helpful for our indoor cats but especially for an outdoor feral cat we help in the neighborhood and can't take to a vet. Murray is a gorgeous boy! 🙂🙂
You're a godsend, thank you! My sweet little cat ran head first into the bedroom door while we were playing and then not too long after seemed subdued and lethargic. I'm someone who gets headaches and migraines regularly and I'm sure she's suffering with a bad headache at the very least, though I can't know for sure... 😕 I feel desperate not knowing what I can do for her right now, but might give your suggestion a try if I can get hold of some of that pain killer for next time. For now I'm keeping an eye on her. If she's not being herself by the morning, I'll be taking her to the vets on case it's a concussion.
I had bad experience with the vet. I wasn’t able to go home for 2 months due to family health issues . My little dog got sick, cannot walk brought to the vet and he diagnosed as paralysis. I went home asap, ordered dog stroller as he was just crawling. I started to prop him up and call to follow me. One, two steps slow like a baby. Finally after 3 months he’s walking like nothing happened, he runs fast too. Never used the stroller, still in the box. I went back to the vet and showed him my dog. It’s been 6 years since and my dog is doing ok.
Thank you for this! I downloaded it on my phone so I can look it up any time. Unfortunately a couple of the meds aren't available OTC in the US, but the majority are, so I'm happy to know I can help my kitty when a vet visit isn't possible.
Thank you for cat remedies!😁 I know we can't give our cats what we could treat dogs...but I was at a loss. My girl from time to time deals with allergies, (funny when I sneeze and have watery eyes...so does my cat.🤣). I used to say to my girl "I wish I could give you kitty benadryl." Didn't know we actually can! Took notes and put this in her folder.😁
Thank you SO MUCH for answering my question 😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸 and letting people know to never give a cat aspirin or Tylenol 👌💯. MUCH APPRECIATED doctor 👏👏. Very thankful for the time you spent making this video for us feline owners.
Thank you so much. It's about $100 just to go into a vet, and they won't give you medicine without an exam. Lots of us with older cats need to be able to treat them at home with safe medicines.
Thank you so much for the tips it could save me some money and Murray is so cute and went along with your vidio like he could be an actor lol Shawna from Canada Ps can you do more cat vidios
With so many cats at home this video will come in very handy indeed. Thank you very much for always giving great advice. Take care and stay safe lots of love from your Aussie friends Ann and the other crazies from Tullamore Australia xoxo 🇦🇺😻😽

my cat refuses to take benadryl she clamps her mouth shut and bit me trying to give her the pill and the liquid i tried both. she has a stuffed up nose and eyes are watery any suggestions?
Murray cracks me up he really hates doing these videos lol and probably thinking I better get treats for this. I didn't know that cats can get Visine. I had a Labrador once that had skin allergies and the Dr said to give him Benadryl which helped and we also changed his food with Omegas in it and oatmeal bath for washing him.
Dr. Andrew isn't using Visine in his video. He's using an antibiotic eye drop,it's not available here in the USA, it requires an rx. So does the robaxin/methacarbamol, only available by rx in the USA. ( please, never put Visine in your cat's eyes❤)
Thank you for your information. I have four feral cats. One has an abscess from a bite. I cannot get him into a carrier to go to a vet. I will try some of your 7 OTC medications.
One of my street cats had huge wounds on top of the head and neck. It was red and deep. I had a zink with antibiotic oitment and home, which I use for my trouble. I applied on him daily, probably for a week, as I remember, and it healed nicely. Was I wrong? Hope not cuz it worked! ❤🐈⬛🐈 have 2 rescued from mean streets of NYC.
Has anyone ever given a cat alpha lipoic acid? I remember giving it a long time ago to a kitty who was having liver, kidney issues, and it helping greatly. A friend's kitty got into poison. I know that for poison issues it has really helped with the liver and kidneys for people. It has amazing benefits for people with bad liver issues. My friend was bright yellow, with very bad liver issues, while in long term hospital care. I started slipping him alpha lipoic acid and horsetail. His chronic, fairly hopeless liver situation cleared quickly up. Anyway, has anyone else used alpha lipoic acid on kitties? It's been so long ago for my effective use of it on a sick kitty.

Murray is awesome!! What a patient and easy going kitty! In the US, Robaxin and the eye drops shown are RX.
Makes sense as to why I didn’t think I’d seen either. Thanks for the comment and for saving me time
I have a human doc who prescribes the stuff for me then I put it into the freezer for future use
I am so glad to have watched this video. My cat Kitten says thank you. Wish other vets had the knowledge and courage to think outside the box.
Thank heaven for dedicated people like you showing us a better way..x
Your cat is so chill
Dr. Jones, what a very special person you are and how glad we are to have found you. Our small 8 lb. Dachshund/Chihuahua mix had the cherry eye issue recently. We called around and the Vets could not see her for 3 weeks. One wanted up front money over the phone before we came in. So sad to see the greediness and ignorance in this field of animal care. Thankfully a friend told us to look up cherry eye, and we found your video. I suspected for awhile it might be the hard nuggets by ACANA that we were feeding her from time to time. She loves them, but I believe they are toxic to her now. We are looking into Farmers Dog Food as well as some Raw food companies. She is fed organic chicken, some lamb, and beef. We also give her Wellness or Solid Gold from the can. In her canned food we have been including Moringa, some enzymes, and flax oil. I have been using the Earth Animal Immune drops in her water. As soon as I quit feeding the ACANA nuggets her eye issue is gone. I did the eyewash for a few days and massaged the eye as you suggested and it works. We are so very grateful. She also had an itching problem which has lessened. I did make up the green tea, vinegar and Lavender drops as a s pray to keep her itching under control. She is so much more content, and we are so less fearful now. We are watching your videos to learn all we can to keep her healthy, safe and comfortable. We just love her so much. You are wonderful to animals and it shows. Thank you so much!
Would love to see a re-make updated video for this one Doc! Also any upper respiratory recommendations for an adult cat? Love your videos! 🙌🏼
Thank you so much for these extremely helpful tips as I rescue cats and taking them all to the vet is quite a task and heavy on the pocket
Helpful tip. I use hemp oil for my elder cat. I use to slip some in a freshly opened can of food. However , he'd often detect the bitter taste, so no go. Then, I tried a raw egg with 99.9% results! I'd crack an egg into a bowl , whip it up well. Then , twice a day pour a modest amount on a flat dish and mix in hemp oil. The egg lasted roughly 3-4 days. A life saver. Cat has no loose stool from the egg or other. Eggs have excellent vitamins, minerals for cats or people. If concerned, buy organic eggs.
Also: Miralax. My boy cat had severe constipation (a side effect of his special kidney disease), to the point where he was completely backed up. After the enema, they prescribed OTC miralax.
This was so helpful, thank you! Whenever my cats get ill, it always seems to be on Friday nights. Nice to know there's something I can give them to buy some time until Mondays.
What a wonderful and patient assistant you have! Bravo!
Good video, but it would be nice if there was a white board or something visual with the names, dosage, and frequency as a summary. I probably gonna have to watch it a few times before trying to self-medicate my feline, otherwise I would probably end up harming him.
Thank you nay God bless you. I take many stray cats in and can’t afford vet care you are a good man for telling us this
You are most welcome! You can get a copy of my free book at www.veterinarysecrets.com
This video is very helpful and informative for cat owners. I used famotidine approximately 2.5mg or less for my 3.2 kg cat for her occasional stomach upset it works , I observe her afterwards very relieved, feeling light and peaceful .
Thanks doctor so much for all this helpful information !
Wow Murray is so easy going while your handling him. My cat would have turned me into a bloody mess. Lol
One of my cat's nicknames is Claw Monster!
Well deserved
Lol!
I'm a pharmacist and I give my cat a ( lysin - choline - taurine and multi vitamins) syrup ( 1 ml ) once a day with a meal
we have needed someone like you ❤ thank you! 🐱
Thank you so much doc. My 16 yr cat, we lost her brother a yr ago, and she started peeing on my bed. I have been putting puppy pads on it. We lost 5 animals last year to old age or illness, but it was her littermate my Puffy who she shows signs of acting out. I will get these when I get paid. I have already printed your book out. I appreciate all you have done and all you do. Sandy in Northern California.
I bought washable “welping” pads (Amazon)
So sorry for the loss of your babies.❤️
Great information!!! This is helpful for our indoor cats but especially for an outdoor feral cat we help in the neighborhood and can't take to a vet. Murray is a gorgeous boy! 🙂🙂
I agree I have 3 stray cats. And there is no way I can even get them to the vet.
I did not expect to find actual useful information on TH-cam! I thank you and my 10 rescues thank you! 🥰
I have 10 resues also. I can't even get some of them in a carrier let alone all the way to a vet I can't afford to pay for.
Thank you for sharing this! So informative and straight to the point. Blessing to you and your family!
You're a godsend, thank you! My sweet little cat ran head first into the bedroom door while we were playing and then not too long after seemed subdued and lethargic. I'm someone who gets headaches and migraines regularly and I'm sure she's suffering with a bad headache at the very least, though I can't know for sure... 😕 I feel desperate not knowing what I can do for her right now, but might give your suggestion a try if I can get hold of some of that pain killer for next time. For now I'm keeping an eye on her. If she's not being herself by the morning, I'll be taking her to the vets on case it's a concussion.
That's a big beautiful cat. Thanks Doc!
Thank you and God bless you!!!
Super! Saw the dog list, so I was hoping for list for cats! Thank you
I had bad experience with the vet. I wasn’t able to go home for 2 months due to family health issues . My little dog got sick, cannot walk brought to the vet and he diagnosed as paralysis. I went home asap, ordered dog stroller as he was just crawling. I started to prop him up and call to follow me. One, two steps slow like a baby. Finally after 3 months he’s walking like nothing happened, he runs fast too. Never used the stroller, still in the box. I went back to the vet and showed him my dog. It’s been 6 years since and my dog is doing ok.
Wow that’s terrible, makes you wonder if the poor dog had sciatica pain
Thank you Dr. Jones for another valuable information! Really good to know we can use these safely on the cats😊
I don't have any pets & yet i watch to this channel ❤️❤️❤️thank you doc
I’m so thankful for your channel, blessings to you!
Thanks doc! Good to see your videos again! Though I don't have any cats, this is very helpful! I'll share this with my friend who does 😉
Thanks!
Dear doctor, Thank you so very much for sharing your great knowledge. Your advice helped my cat’s skin. ❤
Thank you for this! I downloaded it on my phone so I can look it up any time. Unfortunately a couple of the meds aren't available OTC in the US, but the majority are, so I'm happy to know I can help my kitty when a vet visit isn't possible.
Thanks for this video! Especially for the eye drops.
Thank you so much Dr Andrews for all your very valuable information!!!
Yes Cats! Good to see 😀
Thank you!!❤️
Thank u for all ur tips and help. God bless u. Love this please keep it up
Thank you so much for this great information. Murray certainly doesn't have any anxiety!
Thank you so much for this free pet care advice ❤️
your cat is so beatuiful and well tempered
Your cat's so fluffy looking.
Thank you for cat remedies!😁 I know we can't give our cats what we could treat dogs...but I was at a loss. My girl from time to time deals with allergies, (funny when I sneeze and have watery eyes...so does my cat.🤣). I used to say to my girl "I wish I could give you kitty benadryl." Didn't know we actually can! Took notes and put this in her folder.😁
Thank you SO MUCH for answering my question 😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸 and letting people know to never give a cat aspirin or Tylenol 👌💯. MUCH APPRECIATED doctor 👏👏. Very thankful for the time you spent making this video for us feline owners.
Your assistant Murray is a chunky floof ❤❤❤❤.
He's a beloved member of our team. 😊
Robaxin is a prescription in the United States where I am and all over the counter
Yes, I take robaxisol and robaxicette to the USA 🇺🇸 from Canada 🇨🇦 .
And even in Canada I have only seen straight carbamethosol by prescription.
Thank you so much. It's about $100 just to go into a vet, and they won't give you medicine without an exam. Lots of us with older cats need to be able to treat them at home with safe medicines.
how much I adore you is over the top. Thanks for all those tips!
Thank you so much for the tips it could save me some money and Murray is so cute and went along with your vidio like he could be an actor lol
Shawna from Canada
Ps can you do more cat vidios
WOW!!! Thank you so much for this video!!!!! Glad I found your channel!
MURRAY IS AMAZING! Thank you for this priceless information!
With so many cats at home this video will come in very handy indeed. Thank you very much for always giving great advice. Take care and stay safe lots of love from your Aussie friends Ann and the other crazies from Tullamore Australia xoxo 🇦🇺😻😽
I could not get over how cute your Murry is🤩🥰
I agree Elena!
Top ten OTC or/and natural supplements for your emergency first aid kit.
Cat is a paid actor. ❤ So cute.
Is Gabapentin safe for pain relief for 10yr old? It is constantly prescribed, she hates it being forced in mouth & does not ever seem to help her with pain.
We wish YOU to Add anytime soon at least 10 MILLIONS ** New Subscribers ** you DESERVE those Numbers of Admirers SIMPLY Because You have EARNED & DESERVED 🐕🐅🐕🐶🐶🐈
Thank you so much for safe & effective human OTC's that I can use for my cats ❤🐈🐈⬛🐈❤
The video pic at the beginning lol he's a very expressive feline lol adorable
What’s the name of remedy for conjunctivitis ? I don’t get the name clearly asap thanks
MEOW, my cat and I thank you.
I want to hug that cat.
Unfortunately Robaxen is prescription here in US
Yeah I just found that out😭😭😭😭.
Thank you dr jones
Thanks duder
my cat refuses to take benadryl she clamps her mouth shut and bit me trying to give her the pill and the liquid i tried both. she has a stuffed up nose and eyes are watery any suggestions?
Murry was very happy not to be flushed😂thank you for the list.
Thank you
Thanks for the tips, as always; Murray videos are favorites! You should do a workout video for us, "Lifting Murray" would be a fun one!
Murray cracks me up he really hates doing these videos lol and probably thinking I better get treats for this. I didn't know that cats can get Visine. I had a Labrador once that had skin allergies and the Dr said to give him Benadryl which helped and we also changed his food with Omegas in it and oatmeal bath for washing him.
Dr. Andrew isn't using Visine in his video. He's using an antibiotic eye drop,it's not available here in the USA, it requires an rx. So does the robaxin/methacarbamol, only available by rx in the USA. ( please, never put Visine in your cat's eyes❤)
@@feedwinnie Oh. Okay thanks. Looked like visine to me.
Thank you!!!
This is great info!!!
Also props to your props assistant!
Thank you sooooo much for this video and the one you did for the dogs. Thank you 🙏
Thank you much Doc ❤
Thank you for your information. I have four feral cats. One has an abscess from a bite. I cannot get him into a carrier to go to a vet. I will try some of your 7 OTC medications.
Thank you for these useful and common sense tips
One of my street cats had huge wounds on top of the head and neck. It was red and deep. I had a zink with antibiotic oitment and home, which I use for my trouble. I applied on him daily, probably for a week, as I remember, and it healed nicely. Was I wrong? Hope not cuz it worked! ❤🐈⬛🐈 have 2 rescued from mean streets of NYC.
I meant AT home, I don't have a home, just an apartment. 😂
Dr. Jone thanks so much. More cats vides please
Thank you so much for this information x
Has anyone ever given a cat alpha lipoic acid? I remember giving it a long time ago to a kitty who was having liver, kidney issues, and it helping greatly.
A friend's kitty got into poison. I know that for poison issues it has really helped with the liver and kidneys for people.
It has amazing benefits for people with bad liver issues. My friend was bright yellow, with very bad liver issues, while in long term hospital care. I started slipping him alpha lipoic acid and horsetail. His chronic, fairly hopeless liver situation cleared quickly up.
Anyway, has anyone else used alpha lipoic acid on kitties? It's been so long ago for my effective use of it on a sick kitty.
Sadly, Robaxin is only available by prescription here in the US.
I hunted hi and lo for this.
You're right.
I'm bummed.
