I am totally new to the idea of using Iodine in treating an illness or disease. I have an otherwise healthy and robust 17 year old cat that has had a chronic nasal infection for a year, and with the most recent culture, it came back as pseudomonas. His nose is either very snotty and and runny, or it sounds dry and inflammed, with stuffy-sounding breathing. It rotates between the two.
With the earliest cultures, they indicated sensitivity to the Antibiotic Baytril, so he was on that a month. No change. Then Clavamox. Nothing. Then with the latest diagnosis of pseudomonas, it indicated a sensitivty to Amakacin. I injected him daily for one month, with no change. Vet said "let's try another antibiotic", but my feeling is that I am going to go gung-ho with Colloidal Silver (with the assistance of a CS forum member), and see what happens. The vet has told me that it is pretty well an established fact in vet medicine, that feline pseudomonas "can not be cured" due to the intricate bacteria-hiding nasal passages of a cat.
It was also recommnded to me that put Iodine into his water, which will also have Colloidal Silver added. DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT I ADD Iodine to his CS water??
Should I just for now go the Colloidal Silver route and see what happens?

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,255,390both would do the trick. actually, the CS is great but i would save that for heroic measures only. the vet is full of crap. the cat needs iodine, as does any and every mammal on the planet. ask a real country vet or a farmer. there is no doubt.
if, after some iodination, the cat does not respond, then by all means, the CS. i have seen CS work miracles before in dogs and cats. interesting, because they cant get a placebo effect, yet i not seen one case fail to be helped. and i mean flat cured and back to whatever that kind and age of animal would be doing.
no, i wouldnt mix the two.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,255,412In the vet's defense, everything that I google about feline nasal infection and feline pseudomonas, do say that it is incurable, due to the ability of the bacteria to "hide" in the nasal passages. I have taken the cat to two vets, and they both concur with what I googled. They say the "best" that I can expect, is to provide palliative care for the cat, and treat him symptomatically. Because of the failure of the Antibiotic treatments to provide palliative care, I am seeking "alternative" methods.
My concern is that I do have other healthy cats that would be drinking from the same water bowl, so if I were to add Iodine to the water, would I be asking for trouble, seeing that cats are prone towards getting hyper-thyroidism?
How would I proceed? I know absolutely NOTHING of iodine, which to buy, how to administer, etc.- incurable? HarmonicCharge

This is a reply to # 1,255,417when health conditions are deemed "incurable" by doctors this really means that it may be curable with iodine.

This is a reply to # 1,255,453I have been doing some research on how to rid of sinus infections and what is coming out now, in new patents, is using Iodine in the nasal spray. The Iodine must be diluted and buffered to avoid irritation to the nasal mucous memebranes. The reason why antibotics do not work a lot of times is that the infection may have been bacteria but turns into fungus. Hope that you get that kitty healthy again. I have a 16 year old, silver tabby

"we're stumped, sorry"
Nothing's incurable. But the relationship doctors/vets expect (and that people usually acquiesce to) is that they have the Answers and we accept their complete authority in all things medical.
If they run into a health issue for which they don't have a drug that can eliminate the symptoms entirely, their default Answer is "It's incurable."

This is a reply to # 1,255,417i see we have some savvy posters giving you advice.
lugols or SSKI would be fine. you can seperate the cats or offer water with and without and let them chose. animals are a lot smarter than people on this. you could even offer all three, including one with CS in it.
iodine is not harmful. all of your cats need it.

This is a reply to # 1,255,390Just read your post on psuedomonus, I have an 8 yr old that has been dianosed with this same Bacteria, I have almost same route as you with the Antibiotics , he is not any better. His symtoms are the same as your cat. My Vet now wants me to take him to a specialist to have a scope done of his nose, I think that is a bit extreme just yet. I don't know what else to try. I was wondering how you made out with the Iodine or the cs treatments. If they worked could you tell me where I could get some info on them

I too have a cat with Pseudomonas. I got her from a hoarder, which is how she aquired the disease. I am interested, did you do the iodnine therapy? Did it help? We have been to 6 vets, 5 of which have given up on me, but I ham determined not to give up. The one vet who has not given up studies Chinese herbs. Daisy is on an herb called "Nasal Damp Heat" and it has REALLY helped. She also gets nebulizer treatments daily with a human Antibiotic called Timentin put into the nebulizer for her to breathe. With these 2 things, she breathes clearly although it is not a cure. It just keeps us snot free and nasal passages open. It's the best we can figure out. I am going to ask her about the Iodine though.
