It is so incredible to get some new ideas to try! I have the dish thing covered. Glass only and very clean. I wash in hot water and bleach everything I use for her and wash again in hot water so no bleach remains(I don't want to reinfect her) like her comb and brush .She has been on an antibiotic for over a month also once for a shorter time. I will add lecithin to her yogurt. I am also giving her acidophilus I will find some Dreamcoat and Vitamineral and try that. I actually saw the thread on it last winter. It is so good to know that people have had sucess with it.She turned one year old last november and has had this since August. Does thes skin condition have something to do with kidney disease. I thought it was a fungus type thing (one of the vets I took her too tested it and told me that..But all the meds and treatments made absolutely no change, and it has cost lots of money with no help. Is it a genetic thing for Persians? I did have her spayed thinking it might have something to do with hormones but... My cats don't go outside except on a second floor little screened in porch I made them that they love. Too much traffic for kitties. I know it's their nature to hunt, I don't like for them to kill birds and eating them could give them diseases. Thanks again everyone!!!
