Diane,
Have you tried the raw liver shake yet?
Even tho it's primarily used for anemia, it's
supposed to be very healing (was developed by
a holistic vet in Hawaii). My kitties always
seem to like it whenever they've been under
the weather. It's listed in the archives, but
if you have trouble finding it, I can forward
another copy to you.
