ABFE - Emergency essence
I've heard they can be effective when added to their water dishes too. The nice thing about flower essences is there is no adverse side effects, according to the research I've done so far, they are completely safe. I ordered it and another one called "Relationship" from Earth Spirits, http://www.earthspirits-herbals.com/ I started looking into a fe that might help with Starman's itch. I suspect he has some sort of allergy that is making him crazy. Phaewryn, if I find something that works for Star, I'll let you know for your little half bald baby.

It's like liquid valium for Phelix. Trouble with the flower remedies though is that it's hard to get them into a kitty who has totally gone insane. I try to put it in the water and I've heard you can apply behind the ears. The Feliway does seems to be making a difference - and I'm very glad it came before the neighborhood turns into a 4th of July artillery zone. In a message dated 7/4/2006 12:08:20 A.M.

My alternative vet tells me to put drops on their heads (or as close to them as possible). The Royal Princess Kitty Katt let me put them on her when I could not get her to take meds or supplements or anything. She seemed to know they were meant to help. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

They are absorbed well if you rub them on the skin inside the ear, where you would put transdermal meds. Michelle In a message dated 7/4/2006 5:34:36 P.M.

Re: ABFE - Emergency essence
Patches does this from anxiety. it is not an allergy with her, it is anxiety. But she does not do it anymore, because I put compounded transdermal benadryl in her ears twice a day. If I stop doing that, because I run out or something, she picks right up and starts at her belly and legs again. But if she gets it twice a day, the hair all grows back and she doesn't do it. The benadryl just takes the edge off, I guess. Even though benadryl is not a prescription, you need your vet to call in a prescription to a compounding pharmacy to get it compounded to transdermal. Don't use the benadryl cream from the drug store-- that is topical cream, not transdermal. Michelle In a message dated 7/4/2006 7:57:06 P.M.

Re: ABFE - Emergency essence
Thank you for telling me this - and the explanation of the difference. I'll talk to my vet this week. Fortunately there is a compounding pharmacy just up the road. elizabeth In a message dated 7/4/2006 5:00:39 P.M.

Re: ABFE - Emergency essence
Something that has helped Starman is using corn starch baby powder on the inflamed areas, it seems to sooth the itch better than any cream or salve I've tried. I try to avoid it, but when things get really bad I give him 1/2 to a whole antihistamine, (Star weighs close to 20lbs, is Phelix the cat with "big bones"?) . The vet recommended Chlorpheniramine over the ingredient in Benadryl. I'll certainly pass along anything I find that helps relieve itching.

Re: ABFE - Emergency essence
Thanks. I'll definitely give that a try. Phelix isn't the big one but he does weigh 17.5lbs so he's a good sized kitty. In a message dated 7/4/2006 8:49:58 P.M.
