Re: mixing

[Nina]

Just another thought...  I've been adding RR, just a few drops to all 
the water bowls, it might be my imagination, but it seems to help.  It 
sounds like Cotton is pretty high strung, (biting his humans, I'm 
assuming when he's had enough attention, but not giving you adequate 
warning that it's coming, fighting etc.).  I might think about dosing 
him directly with some RR on the inside tips of his ears, or a few drops 
into the side of his mouth.  Do you have any Feliway spray, or the plug 
ins?  I'd put one in the isolation rooms, or spray the heck out of them 
twice a day, esp on Cricket's and Cottons favorite napping spots.  You 
might want to even ask your vet for advice on meds to help Cotton mellow 
out.  I hate medicating for what seems like behavior problems, but it 
isn't good for him to be so stressed.  I'm sure there are homeopathics 
for this sort of thing, but I don't know enough about them to recommend 
anything.  There's a group for acute health problems and discussions on 
how/what to treat holistically.  You may want to poke your head in there 
and see if anyone has any advice for you.
