Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Hi all, It's been stressful 2 months now since I have been working with my cat, Will, on this supposed nail fungus (it was never really diagnosed), but the symptoms led me and others to believe that was it. Anyway, I am happy to say, my cat has made a fantastic breakthrough and his toe (one toe was really bad, and the others had minimal brownish gunk at the base of each toe) is finally starting to heal! Here's what turned everything around (I am only mentioning brand names because that is exactly what I used, and not because I am trying to push these brands, as probably any good pet enzyme would do and there are probably other GSE's and probiotics as well on the market): 1. Started Prozyme enzymes a few weeks ago, and he threw up a 4 " hairball last week (he had been hacking off and on for several months, and I kept thinking, " gee he's on raw food, why is he hacking? " ). So, his digestion is now a lot better since he got rid of that huge hairball, making his immune sytem better able to fight off that fungus, or whatever it was. 2. Started diluted NutriBiotic Grapefruit Seed Extract per Neil Ingram's (Raw Pet Food Nutritionist) recommendation on the sides of each toenail with a q-tip. Used gauze to wipe off any excess. 10 drops in 1 tablespoon of purified water per instructions on the NutriBiotic flyer. 3. Started Will on Jarrow PetDophilus a few days ago; 1/4 tsp in his am food. I believe it was the combination of these three things, although Neil seems to think that the GSE was the main one, as he says GSE is a powerful anti-fungal agent. I believe the GSE is a miraculous remedy for fungal infections; however, getting rid of that hairball via putting enzymes in his food got the ball rolling, I believe! I would love to hear your opinion based on the above information. Oh, originally, I took him to a regular vet, where he got antibiotics and a cream. That did nothing. Then, I took him to my holistic vet, where he got silica homeopathic remedy and calendula cream. That also was not effective. Also, when I started the GSE, his toes got worse for a day, then better, which is normal, as one detoxifies, etc. It did not take long at all once I started the GSE (within 24 hours, I saw a difference)! One other thing. Will does not like for me to Q-tip his toes with GSE, so if I do it too long, and he gets mad, he sneaks downstairs later on and pees in MY SHOES next to the front door! Not on the couch, not on the chair, but inside my shoes! I had to move all my shoes that were by the door into the garage! I had a nice talk with him telling him how much better his feet are, etc, and I think he understands! So, my shoes have to go in the washing machine! Ha!
