Subject: Re: OT: Regarding Rescue Remedy/Pet Calm
It definitely should. I didn't think I would be able to sleep when Monkee
died because he slept with me every night. But Rescue Remedy Nighttime and the
supplement Melatonin (it's in with the Vitamin Supplements at any store), kept
me sleeping fine. It was the waking up that was hard because I'd wake up to
the realization that he was gone and we always had these cuddle sessions in the
a.m. that I missed!
You should try Melatonin too. It really works and I am not kidding. I have
to split the pills with a pill splitter, or else I would never be able to wake
up. During the week, I usually take a 1/4 of a pill every night. Works
wonders. I have taken it for a year now and I NEVER have difficulty sleeping
and I have been through some things this year that should have disrupted my
sleep (losing my job, breakup with long-term boyfriend, Monkee's illness,
etc.). My mom thought I would need Ambien or something like that when Monkee
died, but I told her "no way! I'd never wake up!" because I was fine with my
Rescue Rem and Melatonin.
I use the spray for me (a few squirts on the tongue- it's like using a spray
breath freshener) and the droppers for the cats.
*I forgot to add that if you touch the dropper to your cats' mouth when
dosing, don't put it right back in the bottle...rinse off with warm, mild soapy
water, then replace. If you put it right back in, you get "essence of cat"
into the mixture, which can mess up the whole thing!
