I agree with these things Jamie points out. Steroids, according to homeopaths destroy the thymus gland, so long term use for palliative effects is bad. I...
Mike, I agree with Caralee. There are times when an animal's own immune system is over reacting and causing trouble. Short term use of a topical steroid has...

Well, short term use of the Pred is what we are doing. Then it is tapered off just for a few more days then stopped. But I am going to talk with another vet...
Mike, There are other methods for reducing overactive immune systems without use of steroids. Ask your vet about immune modulators - they suppress overactive ...
Good on the food. Which brand? Because there might well be something in her food that she is allergic to. Did you recently start with the Purina One? If...
Hi, With all the talk about good food, I was wondering how good Iams and Science Diet are? I have been doing alot of looking at Pet stores and trying to figure...
SD and Iams are both inferior foods, despite their marketing message. I find it interesting that the best foods don't do much marketing. None, actually! But...
She's been on Purina One for years. They do get these snack treats how ever. I am giving her Friskies canned mostly for the moment. Something I do recall is...
Pred might do that. But you might be on to something about the pesticide. But what is in those treats? Is that a new food for them? And the Friskies...
Well, will have to get back with you. It's starting to storm here. But if you can list me what foods you think I can get in my area (Central Florida). And I...
Sue -- Iams, Science Diet & Fancy Feast are not good cat foods. Look at the ingredients. . When Ogie can't smell his food I put little in his mouth and prime...

Mike, Pred can do some funny things to appetite, but it is a very good drug in dealing with imflamation. I had a cat that had herpes and asthma, so she had to...

I use Dr Pitcairn's book but cook the meat in with the oats, It is not that expensive to make, and might be a good alternative for Mike? Dianne [Non-text...
It probably is--what are the label ingredients? If you read the labels, you'll know whether the food is good or not. If you have a question about an...

Mike, good food is good food. All those mutations and permutations of food (senior, lite, hairball, etc.) are just marketing schemes. I have an 18-year-old...
Don't worry about using a food labeled senior, it's not necessary, especially considering you want a little weight on her and need extra protein. Because of...
Mike, a bit more here than my previous post . Since I think your message means you're feeding Purina ONE senior formula, here are the ingredients (below)....
Mike - I've got Ogie on canned Merrick now. It's good quality, and the list of ingredients is good. They say all of their ingredients come from the U.S....
