Wow! Very informative! I'm so glad I've found out about this! I'll check out our Walgreens. Since I'm pg, I'll steer clear of it, but I might have to "drug" my husband when he gets to worrying about work, his chain saw, fishing, you know, important stuff like that! :-) I seldom have trouble sleeping, but I know he does at times. This might really help him.
Also, it might help us stay asleep all night by just giving it to the kitties before we go to sleep or maybe when they first wake us up. They are so nocturnal! About 4:00 a.m. the wrestling match/rodeo starts in our house. It can be semi-crazy to all out nuts at times. I'm not sure who would need it more-us or them! Thanks for the advice everyone! Caroline: You've really gone through some rough times lately! I hope things take a turn for the better (positive thoughts!). I know how difficult sleep can be (especially with racing thoughts) during trying times. My doctor had me taking children's benedryl (sp?) years ago since it was non-addictive. I too was very against sleeping pill prescriptions. I'll take note of the other things you've mentioned for future reference. Thanks!

I am a huge fan, I have used it myself everyday since Monkee died. If you go to a Holistic Vet, they usually mix their own "Flower Essences"- which have a lot of the same things in it as Rescue Remedy, so if you are using Vet-provided Flower Essences, you don't need Rescue Remedy (unless you want it for yourself). Monkee was on Flower Essences in the weeks before he died. The last night of his life, his Holistic Vet has us giving him the Flower Essences every hour to keep him calm and try to prevent any respiratory distress. Although he left this world that night, I really think it helped him and one of the last things I did was give him a few drops before he passed. I have said this before, but immediately after Monkee passed in my arms, by mom gave me Rescue Remedy and I truly believed it prevented me from lapsing into utter hysteria (which would have been bad for Monkee as he was passing on). Once only sold at specialty, organic food stores (Whole Foods, Wild Oats, etc.), my Walgreens just started selling Bach's Rescue Remedy! Look for it in the headache medicine aisle. Bach is also making "Nighttime Rescue Remedy" (also available at Walgreens)- to sooth your "racing mind" and I use this every night before bed. I never have trouble getting to sleep! http://www.bachflower.com/Pets.htm this website is the Bach's info regarding pets. http://www.petco.com/product/7743/Richard-s-Organics-Pet-Calm.aspx And this website is for "Dr. Richard's Organics- Pet Calm." This is pretty much the same as Rescue Remedy and it's organic too. I think it's cheaper too. I bought this because my Pet Supply Store doesn't carry Bach's Rescue Remedy, but it does carry this Brand. I've been using the dropper to put a few drops in the waters I keep outside for outdoor colony cats on my street. I am trying to keep them from fighting with each other over food and it's totally working! I also put a few drops in their wet food when I feed them that. And the cat I am currently fostering- since she's a high-strung 10 month old- I also put Pet Calm in her waters and wet food. I hope this information is helpful! -Caroline _____ From: "Melissa Lind" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Miles Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2007 11:43:06 -0500 Good Luck Miles! I know a lot of the people here use something called Rescue Remedy to calm down their cats (and themselves). I've been meaning to get it for the next car ride for a few of my "scaredy" cats, but I don't know anything about it. Hope everything is okay with Miles!
