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

During Sage’s adulthood I vaccinated him yearly as my vet recommended. He continued to snuffle and sneeze with bouts of flu which grew more and more prolonged as time went by. He is a big cat but he never put on any weight in fact , by the time he was 7yrs old he was like a bag of bones.
He had spent many years curled up on the sofa sleeping instead of playing and food had become a real issue with him. Because of his weight (or rather, lack of it) I used to buy lots of dry different foods and put them in lots of different dishes. I would then carry him to them and try to persuade him to eat for me which he rarley did. Read More

My dear Shadow had been diagnosed with kidney problems by the time Sage reached the end of his first year. At that time there was very little treatment available for kidney cats so slowly but inevitably Shadows health deteriorated.
Sage transformed from protectee to protector and suddenly it was he that offered company, warmth, grooming and comfort to my lovely gentle Shadow. As Shadow’s condition progressed his appetite became very poor with his weight loss startlingly apparent. Read More

When baby Sage arrived he was introduced to the rest of my cat family which consisted of my dear old Shadow who was twelve-ish, Misty who was two-ish and Gypsy who was one-ish.
Shadow loved him, Misty avoided him and Gypsy hated him with a vengance. I am sure she thought he was a mouse of sorts and stalked him with the intent of harming him whenever she could get near him. I had to keep them seperated when I was at work as I was fearful she would kill him. Read More
