I gave her the borax+h2O2+water treatment for 4 days, and it was quite an interesting business.

I could hardly get any food in her, unless I was out the room. She was in a raging heat from the day we got her until I finished with Ted's mange remedy, and there was a pause on the third day. I gave her vit D3, A, a tiny bit of E, and some K2 in olive oil on her skin, and her heat symptoms subsided a bit. Her skin was of course quite dry, so it seemed a smart choice.

Which ended up in.. a playful, less heat-y kitty- she was right on her cycle for the full moon, which makes sense, but the fourth day was of interest when..

.. When I completed applying Ted's mange remedy. She was hiking up her butt and trilling for sex again with hormones out the wazoo. We've been keeping her in the bathroom.

On the fifth day she got a rub in of vitamin A and olive oil again, and yes, the rampant heat cooled right down afresh.
Fits just right with your old posts about vit A and hyperactive menstuation, Gina. (M'pretty sure that was you)

Her furless areas started scabbing over and growing new hair on the third day, and her scabs and gunky areas are almost entirely gone. We've been combing and brushing her thoroughly..

Skin is looking a -lot- better, and her appetite is right on track here after the fifth day. She does little circling dances and trills when we approach her foodbowl! She spent a half hour as a snoogled-in-catlump in hubby's arms after dinner. She's still adjusting to the sight, smell and slow, calm blinks of two other neutered toms in this castle of a home.

Re PS: She hasn't gotten more selenium, just the 100mcg on the first day, and a dilute Lugol's and butyrate solution on the skin, rubbed in where it still shows through. She drank water with very dilute dead Sea Salt s on her own in the first three days (!), which is also a boron, potassium chloride and magnesium chloride (+trace mineral) supplier, though I threw it out later.

Tried giving her the fat-soluable vits and Bs in egg yolk on the third day, but she was still too hormonal- her appetite was near null, so the mix went uneaten. ( :< ) To try again another morning, that's the business!

I got fortunate, I went into the vetstore to look for wild salmon oil, and went home with a free 500g bag of 60% animal protien food (a promotional item) for free. So she's been munching that. With gusto.


Mange or no is the question, but she's scheduled for the vetty business of sterilization on thursday. We were able to get more detail on her history- the previous caretaker was suffering paranoia and kept all the windows heavily curtained (no vitD for kitty!), and the heat off all winter (rough!). She was also alone in the apartment for much of the time.
That points out hormonal imbalances and stress to me, so we've been emphasizing positive activity and some training (not to hop up onto the kitchen table and surfaces, etc), exposure to the tomcats within reason (they are observed, but free to trade words and looks).

Tips and pointers on care immediately post-operation appreciated, plans are to continue as first begun, transdermal iodine, butyrate, access to food, isolation in bathroom with floor heating and fresh water, wild salmon oil in food.


She has gained herself the nicknames Squink, Squonk and Squiggle, as she does all three interchangebly when in the presence of le humans, Especially if bellyrubs are a possibility.
