SUNDAY, MARCH 3


immediately following cancer surgery, but then became lethargic and showed a disinterest in food. So, we conducted a fecal analysis and complete blood profile. While awaiting test results, I prescribed the recommended nutrition therapies, along with a special diet. The next morning, the owner reported that Gus was feeling and acting much bet- ter, including showing more interest in eating. His owner was pleased with this rapid response and relieved to avoid unnecessary medication. A young Persian cat arrived in our


office with a chronic herpes virus infec- tion. Percy’s owner made an appoint- ment because the feline had a con- gested nose and wasn’t eating as much as normal. Natural treatment for the herpes virus began with the amino acid lysine and the herb echinacea, both also helpful in preventing cold and flu. Supportive care for the general malaise and lack of appetite relied on the same recommended nutrition therapies and again resulted in overnight improve- ments in the pet’s attitude and appetite; the nasal congestion left during the following week.


While antibiotics and corticoste- roids can be helpful in properly diag- nosed cases, using natural therapies can provide quick relief without the harmful side effects often seen from the use of conventional medications.
