The ones that I found most helpful were The
Veternarians' Guide To Natural Remedies For Cats and
Keeping Your cat Healthy The Natural Way. There is
also a book meant for holistic veternarians which my
mother owns (it cost $94 and beyond my means)and I
posted what I got out of it to this list. Take a look
in the recent archives of this list. It should be
there.
