WHITE FUR CLEANER
FORMULA FOR EYE FUR CLEANING SOLUTION, NOT FOR USE IN THE EYE, JUST AROUND THE FUR AND NASAL SKIN FOLD, KEEP THIS IN THE REFRIGERATOR.
ONE CUP DISTILLED WATER
500 MG AMOXICILLIN OR TYLAN
ONE TEASPOON BORIC ACID POWDER
ONE TABLESPOON WITCH HAZEL
MIX TOGETHER AND KEEP IN A SEALED BOTTLE REFRIDGERATED. THIS SOLUTION IS TO CLEAN THE FUR AROUND THE EYES AND NOSE FOLD. DO NOT GET IT IN THE EYE, IT IS NOT AN EYE DROP AND CAN CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE EYE… SATURATE THE FUR AND WIPE OFF. THE SOLUTION WILL KEEP FOR A MONTH OR TWO IN THE FRIDGE. I PUT MINE IN A CLEANED HAIR DYE CONTAINER WITH THE NIPPLE APPLICATOR SO I CAN JUST APPLY ON Q-TIPS TO THE FUR. YOU CAN BUY FISHMOX…FISH AQUARIUM AMOXICILLIN AND USE THAT IN THE SOLUTION
THE PERSIAN BREED IS PRONE TO TEARING….SOME COMMON CAUSES ARE FLEAS, EAR MITES…THE BUGS DRINK THE TEARS AND IRRITATE THE EYE CAUSING TEARING, A LOW GRADE INFECTION THAT MAY BLOCK A TEAR DUCT, CONJUNCTIVITIS/EYE INFECTION, UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS, EYE ULCERS, HAIR FALLING IN THE EYE AND RUBBING IT, EXPOSURE TO DUST/POLLEN AND INJURIES, ALSO CHANGES OF SEASON/WEATHER, CHANGE IN ENVIRONMENT AND HEATING SYSTEMS.
WE TRIM EYE LASHES AND THE HAIR AROUND THE LIDS…A GROOMER WOULD HAVE TO TEACH YOU TO DO THIS.
RED TEARS ARE ACTUALLY IRON IN THE TEAR AND SALIVA AND RED YEAST. THERE IS NO REAL TREATMENT TO REMOVE THIS. SO YOU MUST MAKE SURE THE DUCT DOES NOT BECOME CLOGGED WITH A LOW GRADE INFECTIONS CAUSING A BLOCKAGE OR FROM IRRITATION CAUSING SWELLING AND BLOCKAGE.
IF YOU HAVE A PERSIAN WITH THE THICK BLACK CRUSTY LIDS/DRAINAGE...YOU CAN TALK TO YOUR VET ABOUT A COURSE OF AN ANTIBIOTIC ...BUT YOU NEED YOUR VET'S EXAMINE OF THE CAT AND TREATMENT. THERE IS ONE STRONGER ANTIBIOTIC THAT WILL STOP THIS BLACK CRUSTY MESS...AND YOU CAN FOLLOW IT UP WITH THE SAME MED IN A ONITMENT THAT IS AVAILABLE YOUR VET COULD CHOSE TO PRESCRIBE.
USE THE FUR CLEANING SOLUTION ABOVE TO CLEAN THE FUR WITH.
WHEN WE CLEAN EYES, USE A WARM DAMP WASH CLOTH AND WIPE INSIDE TO OUTSIDE TO REMOVE ANY DEBRI ON THE LIDS, A FLEA COMB WORKS GREAT ALSO…WE THEN TRIM EYE LASHES JUST IN CASE HAIR IS CAUSING A PROBLEM,
FLUSH THE EYE WITH LIQUIFLIM TEARS AND INSPECT THE EYE FOR ANY INFECTION/INJURY/IRRITATION. IF THE CORONA IS CLEAR AND BRIGHT, WE ADD A DROP OF OPCON-A AND A TRIPLE ANTIBIOTIC ONITMENT….TERRAMYCIN IS THE CHOICE FOR CATS AS IT HAS BETTER EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST THE HERPES VIRUS.
USUALLY THREE TO FIVE DAYS WILL CLEAR UP MINOR IRRITATIONS…
IF YOU SEE A CLOUDY CORONA OR A SPOT ON THE CORONA, YOU NEED TO GET YOUR KITTY TO YOUR VET IMMEDIATELY FOR TREATMENT…..
BLOOD SHOT VEINS ON THE CONJUNCTIVA INDICATE IRRITATION OR INFECTION, IF THEY DON’T RESOLVE AFTER ONE TREATMENT OF THE ONITMENT YOU NEED FOR YOUR VET TO TAKE A LOOK AND PRESCRIBE A TREATMENT FOR YOUR CAT.
ANY RUNNY NOSE AND TEARY EYES THAT HAS COLOR TO THE DRAINAGE NEEDS TO BE SEEN BY THE VET AS IT INDICATES A UPPER RESPIRATIORY INFECTION……….CLEAR DRAINAGE FOR A DAY MAY JUST MEAN EXPOSURE TO DUST OR POLLEN OR A BIG CLIMATE CHANGE..SO WATCH YOUR KITTY.
IF YOUR KITTY EVER HAS A PROBLEM WITH FELINE HERPES…YOU CAN GIVE PAPAYA EXTRACT TO THEM ONCE A DAY…WE USE GNC PAPAYA CHEWABLE TABLETS… YOU CAN CRUSH THEM AND JUST SPRINKLE THEM ON THEIR DRY FOOD…LYSINE 400MG A DAY WORKS ALSO, DO THE SAME, CRUSH IT AND SPRINKLE IT ON THEIR DRY FOOD….
PAPAYA IS BETTER TO WARD OFF HERPES OUTBREAKS…MOST VETS WILL RECOMMEND LYSINE BUT OUR HOLISTIC VET RECOMMENDS THE PAPAYA AND WE ADD TO ALL OUR CATS FOOD.
