We do.  About an ounce per quart or so of 5 ppm doesn't cause our cat any
problems.

That is good.  Basically since the silver simple follows the water, they 
always
have a specific ppb in their blood stream.  For instance if you use one oz per
quart of 5 ppm silver then the water will have about 5/33 ppm or 150 ppb of
silver, and after a period of time the blood will have approximately 150 ppb 
of
silver as well.  This is much easier than weighing the cat then figuring out 
how
much to give depending on the weight several times a day.  Plus those that 
drink
more water, need more CS since they flush it out of their body quicker.  By
adding it to the water, it all comes our automatically without having to 
concern
yourself with their weight, and drinking habits.  Also it keeps the water bowl
free of bacteria and algae.

That is interesting, I wonder what the connection would be with that.  Maybe
bacteria are forming a "glue" that is making the hair clump together.

This is a matter of quantity.  Since silver does not have significant 
mobility in
the intestines it's effectivess is greatly reduced.
Also most of the silver will already be absorbed into the blood stream before
reaching the intestines.  If there seems to be a problem, cut back.  My family
has been taking 1 oz. per 100 pounds per day for over a year with no 
intestinal
problems.

CS normally works great on eye infections.  Irrigate directly with 5 to 20 ppm
CS.

Sorry, know nothing of that.

Thanks Marshall - I was hoping to hear good news like that.  I'll continue on 
doing as I'm doing.  

The hairball improvement - not sure what affect the CS has on it other than 
improving the digestive system - maybe it helps everything move thru the 
system better??   I'm bummed tho, as there was one throwup on my bedspread 
tonite - but still - only once in about a week and a half is really great.  
No complaints here.

As to my worry about CS hurting the good bacteria in the intestinal tract, 
I've been watching the litter boxes and all seems pretty normal in that area.

Thanks again for your help.
