First Holistic Visit
Puss relaxes in the office
I know several people who have used holistic vets with great success. And I've done a lot of reading on natural cat care. So I decided to take Puss to a holistic vet in addition to her allopathic vet.
I don't really connect with her very well. I expect a lot of detailed questions, but don't really get them. She asks about what she eats, and whether or not she's always "this grumpy". Which she isn't — she just hates going to the vet and being handled by the vet. And then we do some acupuncture. She thinks Puss might squak at that, but she just lays there.
In the end she recommends Puss start Pet-tinic, get a B-12 shot (which we do), start on Chinese herbs (Rehammia 6), and use the following flower essences to try to get her to tolerate the kittens better:
- Wild Rose (most important)
- Cherry Plum
- Water Violet
