I’m a little late with this
if you’ve goggled it you’ve discovered no one really has a clue what it is - including vets. Firstly It’s not dangerous or a fungus, it’s a fairly rare form of keratinization. I’m sure you know that cats claws are made of Keratin and are constantly growing and...
Your input on this subject is important, this is such a new product that all opinions are completely valid. Personally it has every chance of working, charcoal is a true and tested product that neutralizes toxins. Porus 1 has been designed to not just remove toxins, it’s purpose is to trap them...

No, do not do the enema at home. I’ve had cats for decades and I’d still never attempt it, there’s so many things that can go wrong, physically as well as bacteria infections. We share the same digestive system but our anatomies are completely different proportionally. I’m guessing you’ve never...

A feline skin condition can be a bit of a challenge. The pictures show a combination of dermatitis and over grooming, which doesn’t really help that much because finding the reason behind them is the hard part. Was he wearing a cone 100% for the time the Vet recommended? Most owners (including...

If your in the US some advice that may be good to know - if your Vet will write a prescription, pet meds are much cheaper to buy from the Canadian online pharmacy’s. I looked up an example for you : Leukeran 2mg 25 Tab = $75. The only stipulation is you have to buy a 90 day supply
