Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I hope this is OK to ask- I am desperate. I have a cat who suffers from flea allergy dermititus. She loses the hair on her rump & itches quite a bit. I give her frontline plus monthly, it helps, but this season she is still thinning on the rump & constantly scratches. Can anyone please recommend anything that might relieve her distress? She is going to the vet next week but if i can avoid giving her chemicals, I would feel much better. I am sorry if this is considered off topic- I apologize in advance! I sure would appreciate any input- Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I used to put a tsp of cod liver oil in my cat's food, and although she went out with me on a leash, she never got fleas. I was using the oil to avoid hair balls, and I would say it was great for her over all health. She had gorgeous fur, long and very shiny from the oil. She lived for 22 years, and was never ill. On the for silver medicine, many with animals put colloidal silver in their pet/livestock water to avoid pathogens that might be causing the dermatitis. I used to have severe eczema, and my saving grace was lecithin. It relieved the itching and helped to keep my skin clear of new patches. That might be very helpful and inexpensive to use. Rubbing organic coconut oil externally will also relieve the itch, and taking it internally may help too. You can crush some garlic and mix it with an oil and rub some on her fur and let her lick it off to get some garlic in her system to repel fleas. You can also do the same with oregano leaves, put in a blender with some oil and blended into fine particles and put on her fur to lick off.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I don't know much about flea allergy dermititus, but I've had 2 cats who would have similiar reactions that I attributed to dry cat food and the consequent poor nutrition and/or food allergy. Hair would fall out, sores and lesions appear, the cat would be quite miserable. Adding some oil (I use flax or fish oil) to their food makes a huge difference, that was enough for one of them. The other I switched to a home made cat food of cooked millet with liver with nutritional yeast and some oil. Seems like there may have been something green in there too, was it an algae? There's all kinds of superfood nutritional boosts to choose from, see the files section. Can't remember exactly the recipe, it was two decades ago. 2 weeks on that and the cat would be healed up and good for a few months. It would be running around with shiny great fur then our family would get lazy about making the special food and it's coat would get dull and after a while the itching start again. One lady gets from me a comfreybased healing salve for her dog's sores that appear. There are recipes in the files section. Mine was comfrey, calendula, and plantain in an olive oil/beeswax base. She says it's magic, far better than anything the vet gave her. Don't know how that would work on a cat who would probably lick it off. That would probably still be okay, at least they are getting extra healing power internally. A nutritional approach vs. a topical approach works better in the longer run but sometimes (at least in humans) the salve is nice as a temporary measure while the diet shift is gaining it's momentum. Hope your kitty gets well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I read somewhere (here?) organic coconut oil rubbed into the pets skin/fur helps. Another good for kits (at least there kidneys) is parsley water. Easy to make by just dropping a parsley sprig into the water bowl. I've also heard fleas hate garlic but I don't know how to dose a pet with it. Best wishes to your kitty.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I hate using Frontline or anything like it, but thought I had no choice. It now is effectively NOT working, at all, for my dog or cats. I switched to a brand called Sentry Natural Defense. It's much less expensive, and seems to be working fairly well. It is comprised mainly of essential oils, in a carrier base (Isopropyl myristate). It's messy at first, but if you run it down the entire spine of the cat, it seems to disperse better that way. Just be sure to get it on the skin, not the fur so much, and hold them for a bit to keep them from licking it all off. It does not kill the eggs or larvae, but it definately kills the adults. Coupled with a bath given first with a shampoo of the same name or similar, and use of a spray or powder in your carpets, bedding, and furniture, it really does seem to calm down the biting and itching.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Try diatomacious dirt (spelling may be wrong)You can find it in feed stores It is a natural product that kills all bugs. I use it in my barn as well as on my animals. It is a white fine powder like flour. sprinkle it on your floors rugs wherever the pet may go then also on the pet. It wont hurt them and it is also a wormer. However it kills all bugs as I said so If you garden with helpfull bugs then it will kill them as well.herbal remedies , " Kimberly Smith " <k_frog100 wrote: > > > I hate using Frontline or anything like it, but thought I had no choice.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi. I didn't realize this had a name, but my cat has suffered with it on and off for a few years. I finally found something that has worked, and it's natural. Outside of doing all the flea protocol to remove the fleas from the house, (combing, vacuuming, washing their bedding, and anywhere they go regularly) What worked was sprinkling diatomaceous earth onto the carpets (letting it sit for a week then vacuuming it up), and also onto the cats (trying to avoid their eyes/sinuses, and yours) as the powder can be quite drying. The diatomaceous earth is a natural product created from fossilized diatoms. It isn't something the fleas can become immune to (like most products) because it actually dries them out, the diatoms are sharp and cut through their exoskeleton. But it isn't harmful for the cat - you can actually include it in their food (its a great source of natural silica) and it will also get rid of worms or parasites. (also a problem we had- works perfectly) We have been rotating sprinkling the powder on them with spraying them down with a combination of diluted apple cider vinegar and water. We do this weekly, first powdering, then waiting a couple of days and spraying them down with the apple cider vinegar mix. As a result my cats hair has begun to grow in nice and thick, and she isn't so itchy anymore. This is an intensive process in the sense that you have to do it regularly to keep on top of the fleas, but it does work. And once you get into the groove if it, it's very easy. I bought a huge bag of it in bulk from ebay (they don't seem to be offering it anymore this way but they do have a website. You have to be cautious about the type of diatomaceous earth you buy - it cannot be pool grade, as this is VERY toxic., it must be food grade. The website we bought it from is: www.earthworkshealth .com/ Their site is quite informative, and provides a lot of good info about how it can be used, and it's nutritional value. It would be good for us to consume as well, but outside of putting it in a capsule, the texture is really unappealing, and I haven't found an alternative way of taking it just yet. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I want to thank everyone for the wonderful & educational advice! I spoke with the vet & we've decided she has other allergies causing the hair loss, itching & occasional scab. I have an appointment set but I am going to also try all of the fantastic suggestions mentioned in this forum. The vet said she may need cortizone shots, etc etc- I really do not want to do that to her. The frontline is bad enough & i intend to change that as well. Thank you to everyone for your concern. I will keep you all updated!! Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I had a little dog that suffered from flea allergy, losing rump hair and scratching herself raw. I started putting a few drops of 35% food grade H2O2 in her water (initially this was just to keep her water clean), but soon found this fixed her allergy. No more losing fur or scratching.

I don't have a recipe, yet. I am still doing my research to discover what ratio the herbs should be used in, so I can grow and blend my own. Currently, my herbs are still getting established, and the research goes on, so I am buying from a gal from Fiasco Farms. Google that farm name and Molly's Herbals, and you'll find her farm. I use roughly a tablespoon per goat per week of one formula, and the wormwood formula used the same amount for three days in a row, every 6-8 weeks in place of the weekly formula. I have small goats, so this is a bit more than they need, but it's REALLY helped them be shiney, glossy, slick coated, bright eyed, and strong animals. I mix it up with a bit of water, and let them suck it out of a syringe. They like it so much they come looking for it. I use it with the cats and dog, too. I use cayenne pepper for the poultry.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 It turns out she has a bad case of allergies. She had not 1 flea on her. She did get a cortisone shot. She is almost compleylt healed. I plan to use the hydrogen peroxide in the future. Thanks to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
