My fiv boy, Starman, has a problem with itchy dry skin. The least

I'm so sorry. Marley is in my thoughts and prayers for a quick turn

First, I'm so sorry to hear about Tiny. What an awful shock that must

I've seen Missy's pictures before, everytime I do I get this huge smile

I'd go with the vitamin C, and a good all around high calorie
vitamin-mineral supplement, like Vita-Cal or Nutri-Cal, since she's doing
chemo, she could probably use the additional easy to access calories.
Neither of them are expensive.

I think fish oil, coq10, and essiac tea would probably be the best in terms
of fighting cancer. These can all e expensive, but there are sources to get
them pretty cheaply as well. For dogs, they think that arginine, an amino
acid, helps fight the lymphoma and make them feel better, and Hill

No, you can give benadryl in it's pill form, get the tablets, not the

tablet, or 12.5MG is the usual cat dose.

Phaewryn, what about children's benadryl it's liquid and you can give it with

Children's benadryl is so diluted you have to give such a large amount to a
