If you are using Peroxide I recommend that you dilute it 50/50 with water. That is what we recommend to our clients at the Animal Hospital I work at. Peroxide can be damaging to tissue. Good luck! Tanya --- On Mon, 3/29/10, Laurieskatz lauriesk...@mchsi.com wrote: From: Laurieskatz

[Felvtalk] how to treat a cut in FeLV cat

Hello everyone, I've been on the list for several months but haven't posted anything. My neighbor and I are taking care of 4 FeLV cats. Their mother was a stray cat in our neighborhood and had kittens in our garage. I was just trying to cut a mat out of one of them, just under her front leg,

Oh, I forgot! A holistic vet recommends Calendula Gel. It heals things very quickly. I used it on an infected spay incision (cat) and cat bite (me). It's amazing. L -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of

Thanks a lot. I feel better. Can you get the Calendula Gel at a health store? I imagine drug stores don't carry it. - Original Message - From: Laurieskatz lauriesk...@mchsi.com To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sunday, March 28, 2010 10:42 PM Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] how to treat a

Re: [Felvtalk] how to treat a cut in FeLV cat

You know--A D Cream (not ointment) works really great too--comes in a tube-usually in baby dept at drug store. But I'd let it air out a bit after cleaning w. Peroxide. Christiane Biagi Cell: 914-720-6888 ti...@mindspring.com Volunteer-Friends of the St. Bernard Parish Animal Shelter
