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
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.
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. 🇦🇺😻😽
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:)
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.
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.
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.
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 🙏🙏🙏🙏
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.
Be careful , Benedryl changed -it’s not always diphenhydramine anymore, please read the ingredients! If it isn’t diphenhydramine don’t give it to your baby! Usually now it’s the non name brands that use diphenhydramine now.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.😁
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! 🙂🙂
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.
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!
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 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
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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 🇦🇺😻😽
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.
My Vet prescribed fluoxetine for my cat with high anxiety and spraying all over. It was so hard for me to give him that and still is . I just felt it was too extreme but he was spraying on everything. I give him 1/4 pill (5 mg pill ) once every 24 hours - stopped spraying but was wandering your thoughts on that medication! Thank you for all the great information!
@@larsonfamilyhouse feliway didn't work at all for my cats. 🫤 3 male ex-stray ex-tom cats made for lots of stress. The "bully" cat is gone now and it's much better with the 2, and my girl. She's the only cat I have that I actually picked. Everyone else just moved in....
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.
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❤)
What would be a good dosage of psyllium powder for an 8-pound cat with constipation? I switched my cat from kibble to canned food last year and she has been frequently constipated ever since. Thank you!
Yes, as Emily said, Miralax. One of ours does great on 1/8 teaspoon a day. Another needs 1/4 teaspoon one to two times a day depending on what he needs. We mix ours with a little water and put in a syringe to administer. That way we know they get the whole dose.

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.
Is there anything for diarrhea? The vet gave a steroid but he stopped purring & started beating up his brother. Multiple vet's said he has Cancer. But this is ongoing for 5 year's. Poor guy is so skinny. He's 19 year's old. He seems happy especially when he's got my lap.
I have a question about Benadryl. You mentioned in another video to give 1mg/lb twice a day. Why do dogs take so much more per pound than humans? My Bassett has HUGE allergies and I need all the help I can get with her but I’ve always wondered this. Thank you for all your great advice. Wish I had a vet like you near me!!

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.❤️
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.
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.😁
I did not expect to find actual useful information on RUclips! 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.
My Mom once gave a cat a St Joseph baby aspirin in her food when the cat had a cold. The cat slept for most of the day & then was much better.❤
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!
Murray! Such a calm kitty. RIP❤
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.
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
Murray is so cute wished i had a genuine vet like this in Scotland
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.
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!
we have needed someone like you ❤ thank you! 🐱
Thank heaven for dedicated people like you showing us a better way..x
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.
Super! Saw the dog list, so I was hoping for list for cats! Thank you
What a wonderful and patient assistant you have! Bravo!
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
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
Thank you and God bless you!!!
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 for this great information. Murray certainly doesn't have any anxiety!
Your cat's so fluffy looking.
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
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.
Top ten OTC or/and natural supplements for your emergency first aid kit.
Yes Cats! Good to see 😀
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 😉
Thank u for all ur tips and help. God bless u. Love this please keep it up
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.
Your cat is so chill
Thank you!!❤️
Sadly, Robaxin is only available by prescription here in the US.
I hunted hi and lo for this.
You're right.
I'm bummed.
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 so much Dr Andrews for all your very valuable information!!!
Murray is such a patient kitty ♥
Dr. Jone thanks so much. More cats vides please
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.
Dear doctor, Thank you so very much for sharing your great knowledge. Your advice helped my cat’s skin. ❤
Thank you so much for this free pet care advice ❤️
Thanks for this video! Especially for the eye drops.
Unfortunately Robaxen is prescription here in US
Yeah I just found that out😭😭😭😭.
Oh Honey you go so fast and I cannot catch nor spell some of these ) : Are they written down someplace?
how much I adore you is over the top. Thanks for all those tips!
WOW!!! Thank you so much for this video!!!!! Glad I found your channel!
I found the cat one! I just watched the dog one. :) Many thank yous!
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’m so thankful for your channel, blessings to you!
Thank you
That's a big beautiful cat. Thanks Doc!
Thank you much Doc ❤
Thank you for these useful and common sense tips
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!
Murry was very happy not to be flushed😂thank you for the list.
Thank you for the great information, Dr. Jones. Robaxin requires a prescription, and I am unable to find Polysporin for eyes.
It's available over-the-counter; you can also try Amazon.
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.
MURRAY IS AMAZING! Thank you for this priceless information!
MEOW, my cat and I thank you.
Colloidal silver for eye problems is amazing.
Coconut oil is great for skin irritation.
Colostrum is great for UTI's especially along with D-Mannose.
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 🙏
Slippery elm for tummy’s and saline for eye infections and abscesses …CBD for pain.
These aren't over-the-counter in CA. 4 of these need a prescription
My Vet prescribed fluoxetine for my cat with high anxiety and spraying all over. It was so hard for me to give him that and still is .
I just felt it was too extreme but he was spraying on everything. I give him 1/4 pill (5 mg pill ) once every 24 hours - stopped spraying but was wandering your thoughts on that medication!
Thank you for all the great information!
Is the cat fixed? If he’s not get him fixed fast. I’m assuming he must be though. Try feliway, it works wonders!
@@larsonfamilyhouse feliway didn't work at all for my cats. 🫤 3 male ex-stray ex-tom cats made for lots of stress. The "bully" cat is gone now and it's much better with the 2, and my girl. She's the only cat I have that I actually picked. Everyone else just moved in....
I noticed my male fixed rescue pees out side of the litter if the box is fif the litter is scooped he is good.
Thank you dr jones
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.
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.
Last I heard, Robaxin is prescription-only in the US.
...and UK I wonder what the alternative is?
The video pic at the beginning lol he's a very expressive feline lol adorable
What would be a good dosage of psyllium powder for an 8-pound cat with constipation? I switched my cat from kibble to canned food last year and she has been frequently constipated ever since. Thank you!
Human miralax 1/8 tsp sprinkled on canned food daily, and I give my cat 1/2 tsp laxatone once a week.
Yes, as Emily said, Miralax. One of ours does great on 1/8 teaspoon a day. Another needs 1/4 teaspoon one to two times a day depending on what he needs. We mix ours with a little water and put in a syringe to administer. That way we know they get the whole dose.
Thank you so much for safe & effective human OTC's that I can use for my cats ❤🐈🐈⬛🐈❤

Thank you!
Thank you Doctor!! I needed this for my cat!! Your cat is so precious!! I have a 10 pounder!! Great video!! 🤗❤🐾
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. 😂
Is there anything for diarrhea? The vet gave a steroid but he stopped purring & started beating up his brother. Multiple vet's said he has Cancer. But this is ongoing for 5 year's. Poor guy is so skinny. He's 19 year's old. He seems happy especially when he's got my lap.
I have Children's Benadryl (Diphenhydramine hcl) Liquid 12.5 mg/5 ml...What would be the dosage that I could give to a cat?
THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU DO A GREAT JOB. AND HAVE A BLESS WEEK.
Same to you :)
I have a question about Benadryl. You mentioned in another video to give 1mg/lb twice a day. Why do dogs take so much more per pound than humans? My Bassett has HUGE allergies and I need all the help I can get with her but I’ve always wondered this. Thank you for all your great advice. Wish I had a vet like you near me!!
Thank you very much
