For our pup's hot spots I put some Colloidal Silver (20ppm) in a spray bottle, and sprayed it on the sore. My poor husky did not like it at first, but she settled down right afterwards. I noticed it scabbed over the very next day! For cats with infections, the typical dosage that most cat owners discuss is one standard eye dropper full of 10 ppm colloidal silver, up to three or four times a day, for a brief period, usually no longer than a week. Cat owners can administer 10 ppm colloidal silver to their cats up to three or four times each day with a plastic syringe for no longer than a week. You are most at risk of argyria if you’re taking a silver-containing dietary supplement or work in a job that exposes you to large amounts of silver ( 14). The biggest risk associated with chronic exposure to colloidal silver is a condition known as argyria, whose name comes from the Greek word “argyros,” meaning silver. Veterinarians follow these general steps when using antibiotics (either synthetic or natural) to treat pets:

With your veterinarian’s blessing, natural antibiotics for cats can sometimes form part of a safe and effective course of treatment. Cat infections In the meantime, this list is only intended as an insight into the natural antibiotics which are of most interest to the scientific community at the moment. 1. Manuka honey Not knowing any better, I had bought an expensive one pound bag of slippery elm powder that will probably last my lifetime. Unless you just need a pound of it for ongoing use, I’d recommend this smaller container of it: http://amzn.to/2u4DSIa

Whether diarrhea is caused by infection or food poisoning, colloidal silver is a useful remedy. In addition to using colloidal silver, plenty of fluid (water, broth or children’s oral rehydration solution) should be given to prevent dehydration. 6. Vomiting Echinacea is a naturally occurring herb that stimulates immune system function, giving it a potential role when your cat is fighting off an infection. Argyria is a condition that turns your skin a blue-gray color due to the buildup of silver metal particles in your body and skin. Silver deposits may also occur in your intestines, liver, kidneys, and other organs ( 14). While not approved by the FDA as a ‘medicine’, but instead as a ‘nutritional supplement’, manufacturer’s are not allowed to claim any healing properties. However, the consensus from all the research I did, as well as my own experience, is that colloidal silver clearly does have healing properties. This is despite the FDA making it difficult for the manufacturers of colloidal silver to advertise their products that way. I hope this was useful information and again, if I can be of any more assistance at all, please don’t hesitate to ask. <3 CC

Apply colloidal silver topically for skin problems. Good for almost any kind of skin infection, including ringworm, cuts, bites, wounds and even burns. CS helps to repair tissue damage and soothes the skin. I researched possible ingredients that could be causing the issue, like carrageenan that has been used in labs to cause gastrointestinal inflammation in animals, so I avoided those foods. I added pumpkin and slippery elm, all with little to no improvement. During more research, I tried some liquid herbal blends, some clay-type products and spent hours online reading forums and posts about diarrhea in cats.

Hopefully you feed wet food as well, since that makes it easier to put the colloidal silver in and kibble is horrible for cats (they aren’t designed to eat dried food, they are carnivores–meaning they eat mice, rabbits, birds, etc., for their food and water). The cats that came to me from a diet of eating kibble have tartar buildup on their teeth. Those that were young that I fed canned and then switched to raw or have been completely raw fed, have none. Just something for you to consider since tartar and plaque can lead to awful health issues later down the road. 🙂 Colloidal silver is a wonderful holistic pet care immune system booster. It can it be used to treat a number of immune issues and just to keep low-lying pathogens out of the system. It can treat respiratory issues as well, such as asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia, using a nebulizer. In low concentrations, silver is extremely effective in preventing and curing infections when applied externally. Although no scientific studies have been conducted on cats till date, similar studies on mice have confirmed these claims. We cannot of course just apply the same results to cats. So, use your judgement to make a sensible decision. Important Factors to Remember When Using Colloidal Silver for Cats In addition to hydrogen peroxide, manuka honey contains other antibiotic compounds which help suppress bacterial growth even more, and kills some strains all together.
