Again I turned to herbs to help Sage’s immune system and this time I decided to try Global Herbs Defenze Capsules. Being a capsule this supplement is a little difficult to give to cats, so I smear butter over it to make it slippy then push it down his throat once a day. I then syringe a little water to wash it down for him.
To help control the bacteria in his mouth I started to use Pet Dent Oral Gel and alternate it with Pet Dent Toothpaste. Both of these products contain Chlorhexadine which I have found very effective in helping to control his mouth problem. I put it on my finger and rub it over his top teeth and gums once daily, (he won’t let me put it on his lower jaw or brush his teeth). Read more

Not long after this I decided to tackle his problems from a different direction, so instead of giving him antibiotics I put him onto a supplement called Immune Plus from Phytopet in the hope of boosting his immune system. My theory was that the continual use of antibiotics had lowered his immune system, hence the frequent and longer bouts of cat flu.
I was amazed at the difference in him after a few days of using this supplement. He became less snotty and at last his appetite increased. After a few months he started to put on weight and looked healthier than I had seen him for years. He didn’t like the taste of the supplement so I used to mix it with 1/2 ml of milk and syringe it down him. Read more
