I come to this forum for help with my cats and kittens, but I'm also wondering if anyone knows of some good forums similar to this one that would focus on ways to treat cats using natural remedies.
Currently, I keep losing kittens and some of my adults who are young. I was told by a woman at the Humane Society that my house might have this bacteria which lives on surfaces for a long time. So I bought a Hypochlorus Acid (HOCI) generator for disinfecting as I understand that it can kill the AIDS virus. At least this is what my chiropractor said. I've just started spraying it into my cats' faces. Cats don't like to be sprayed at all, but I have to do it. I just lost two kittens yesterday.
The heat also seems to be taking a toll on everyone. My central AC went out in May and we've been relying on two room units for the entire house. It gets extremely hot where I live as I'm in Phoenix, Arizona. It was 115F last week. I couldn't afford the AC repair until just recently but I do things like placing 300 lbs of ice around the house in buckets to help cool the place. We have lots of fans, but it still can get up to over 100F inside my house.
Right now I have a boy who is only 3 years old and I was giving him CD once or twice a day before meals. His eyes have always had a lot of gunk in them. For a while I couldn't give him CD because he would disappear when he saw me coming with the large glass syringe. So I know that had to have hurt him immensely because he's struggling to breathe now and this just started yesterday. I think it might be his liver as I've had problems with my liver backing up and then I have trouble breathing. I have to fast sometimes because only the smallest meals could be tolerated. I take CD a few times a week, but especially if I start to have trouble breathing. It works better than my inhaler. But I digress.
I just started using HOCI on my cats as I somehow didn't integrate some of the info from
CLO2
in the past. I have made solutions with the HOCI generator and it was very easy to do. I think I overthink things too often and worry about doing something wrong and harming my pets. I was using it only to disinfect but realized she said I could also breathe it in. I have a diffuser, but I don't know if the HOCl would destroy it as it's only made for essential oils. I've read that essential oils are harmful to cats, so I don't use the diffuser with the oils at all. I may just try it anyway with HOCI as the diffuser isn't getting any use anyway. As for my cat, Leo is 3 years old.
Leo is struggling with breathing and I think it could be his liver. It's so hard to listen to him wheezing. I've been giving him CD more often, but he's in pretty bad shape. He's not eating and just moves around to find a more comfortable place where he can breathe more easily. I've recently been cleaning a lot and trying to get my house more organized, so I wonder if that could be moving energy and causing problems. I'm certain the heat isn't helping, but Leo spends most of his time in my bedroom which has an AC unit, so it is fairly cool.
I realize I always have a lot to say, so hopefully someone will read through this post and have more info on resources for pets. I don't take my cats to vets anymore due to the exorbitant cost compared to a helpful outcome.
