starstarstarstarstar 		2 year old cat, chronic sneezing
by: Anonymous

So I have this 2 year old beautiful rescue boy.. didn't have the best start in life. Every spring and fall it seems he is the sneezer. His eyes don't water and he eats/drinks just fine. I've tried an antibiotic for a URI [but that wasn't it] and I've tried benadryl. Then I came across Propolis. My question is, would this help him? he has a drippy nose sometimes and even though the sneezing isn't bad, I would like to help his immune system. His sister is also here, she does not have this problem but SHE has a lot of different allergies as well.

by: Anonymous

If it is a lump on the inside of the mouth it could be stomatitis my cat had this and had it removed by the vets and was put on a steroid and it just grew back and grew bigger. I researched and found that I needed to put her on hundred percent meat no plant based biscuits. In a few weeks the lump shrunk she's never had one since, and hasn't needed to go to the vet in the last 3 years

by: Dawn

Thank you for your information. My cat seems to have an abscess, certainly a lump on one side of her jaw. She is still eating but hasn't been quite her usual self as it is starting to really bother her. If i take her to the vets it will take me weeks to fix the problems whatever they give her it causes and she is too old for that (16) otherwise she is fit and healthy. I am definitely going to try Bee Propolis as soon as possible. Thank you

starstarstarstarstar 		Bee Propolis Treats Abscesses in Cats
by: Jeanne

My cat, Callie, developed abscesses on either side of her mouth as a result of vaccinations.

After extensive research, I came upon a website that sold bee propolis extracts, but also contained articles written by the national institutes of health that stated that bee propolis as an antibiotic and an antiviral medicine, can be used to treat abscesses in animals. The site had no extracts without alcohol, which is critical. Cats cannot have alcohol in any form. Nonetheless I had no time to wait for an order from the Midwest. Callie’s life was in danger, as she had refused any food or water for two days. I found bee propolis capsules at my health food store.

My first priority was to administer fluids to Callie via a syringe (to counteract dehydration and encourage eating). Please note that I viewed videos on how to do this properly, because improper administration would have put fluid into her lungs.

She began eating a day later. I broke one propolis capsule into each serving of wet food, as there’s no dosage that can become toxic. The abscesses began to scab up in three days and were gone in seven. I continued treatment for a total of 10 days, as directed, just in case any bacteria lingered in her system.

Bee propolis and divine guidance saved Callie’s life. (Never forget the power of prayer to guide you to the best remedy for a sick cat whom you love with all your being.)

starstarstarstarstar 		Organic/ Bio ACV - Apple Cider Vinegar with "the mother"
by: Valentina

I haven't used bee propolis or bee pollen on my cats and dogs but I'll definitely give them a try. I take bee products all the time and they're a God gift !

Here I want to share my experience using organic/ bio apple cider vinegar (ACV) for all kinds of infections. I dilute the ACV with water - 50 % to 50 % and put this liquid topically or on the whole coat - you should avoid the head and the throat because they're very sensitive. If the problem is on the ears, nose or mouth you can put a small amount of this liquid - ACV + water keeping the eyes. After this procedure the cats are licking their fur so you don't have to give ACV with their food. If the problem is very harsh - virus or parasite infection, cold, hair loss ... you should give also 1 teaspoon with wet food and because of the acid taste if the cat doesn't want to eat the food you can add salmon oil, olive oil, tasty dry food, broth ... the things you know he or she loves.
You can also use coconut oil the same - on cat's coat and a small amount in food. It's really important to use homemade/ organic/ bio apple cider vinegar preferably the one with "the mother".

I myself take ACV and give it to my pets (3 cats + 3 dogs) every day because prevention is better than managing a health problem. They're in perfect condition now. My oldest cat (12 years old) had intestinal problem and loose stools. The vet did blood tests and said there's an infection and a liver problem which I'd already supposed. When I started the detox for her - ACV, spirulina powder (which is for healthy immune function), probiotics, salmon oil, beet root pulp and pineapple (which is high in vit.C and contains bromelain) I cleared the toxins and the cat recovered. The other cat had urinary tract problems from time to time and I healed her again with ACV and coconut oil.

I really believe that antibiotics isn't the only solution and in most cases the don't solve the root problem. We should use natural ways because in nature there's a solution for any problem.

by: Anonymous

Hi, Looking for a solution for a street cat that has a nasty abcess that has burst, leaving an open wound. At a distance I sent a photo of the wound to a vet who feels the above is the issue. I feed the cat regularly but it will not allow itself to be caught. Therefore, it is not possible to take it to the vet. I was hoping there is a natural solution I can add to its food. Traditional antibiotics need to be administered consistently which may not be possible if the cat doesn't show up one day. I feel my hands are tied so am hoping to strengthen the cat so it can heal itself. I know it's a long shot but I can't think of another solution. Your input is greatly suggested. A street cat's life presents so many issues that domesticated cats don't experience.
Sad situation.

starstarstarstarstar 		Propolis as immune booster?
by: Suzi

How safe is it to use propolis tincture as an immune booster?

I am asking for our rescue cat.

We have had her for 2 years. She arrived with clear lungs but a nasty (outer) ear infection. She had by then already had several antibiotics courses, we saw on her chart.

Right now, at age 4, the infection is back and we think stress plays a large role. The vet says this is a bacterial infection with bacteria that we all have naturally and that we usually fight off with our immune system. Similar to a staph infection or a cold sore that plays up when our immune system has taken a hit.

We used to have a senior cat of 19, who died last month and I have been very depressed and sad because of this loss. I even had to break the cycle of sorrow by taking a short break abroad. I am doing better now, but it seems our rescue is not. In the 2 weeks I was gone and my husband cared for her, she turned out to have this infection.

I wonder how much of this has to do with mourning. Even though my now deceased cat and the rescue were not friends, they tolerated each other and I wonder if our rescue misses her or picks up on our emotions.

We initially brought her into the vet's to check on her dry cough, a good 3 weeks ago. Lungs clear, but ear infected with a bacteria that is resistent to most, but the most horrible antibiotics. Red irritation and pus deep in the ear. She got an initial broad spectrum injection and later tablets for this specific strain of bacteria. She has now finished her course but still sneezes (clear fluids) and can hardly pur because of the fluid in her nasal passage. It might be side-effects or just too much antibiotics over a short period of time. I am worried!

I use raw propolis bits on myself. Get it from a local beekeeper - I chew it to help with my mouth hygiene. It is like gum and after the gummyness is gone, I spit it out. Some of it I swallow and I tell myself it is good for my immune system. Wondering if I can use an alcohol based tincture on our rescue on a daily basis. She weighs 7 lbs so is very little.

The main problem of our rescue is that she was born and grew up in a hoarder's house. So she had a terrible "kitten-hood". It turned her into a very insecure and scared creature. After 2 years she now trusts us, but tolerates little when it comes to things like ear drops and taking pills. She will drool from stress and will twitch when we have to administer medication. So now that we are done, we are trying to love and care for her to make her more at ease. Would propolis help us get her back on a healthy track with a better immune system that can fight off the bacteria?

We are quite desperate so all help is welcome!

starstarstarstarstar 		Propolis dose for kittens
by: Maria

Hi and thank you for your wonderful information!

I am writing you from Greece. I have found 4 kittens on the street, less than 2 months old. One of them has an eye ready to come out. The vet doctor gave her many antibiotics and soon needs operation.
The other 3 have infection on the eyes, yellow liquids and they sneeze. First day I put apple cider vinegar to their neck and shoulders. Second day vinegar and homeopathic pills. No results. Third day (today) I put 1ml of water with 2 drops of propolis alcohol tincture. They jumped like crazy. They didn't like it at all. Tomorrow is the last day of their kali bichroklac homeopathic medicine.

1. Should I continue the propolis tincture? For such baby kittens?
2. What about the other one? Should I continue the antibiotics and eye drops? Now she also starts to lose hair, alopecia around her body.
3. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thank you for your time.

Yes, I would continue the antibiotics plus the propolis. BUT you should source a propolis tincture that is alcohol free. The alcohol will be very harsh on the eye.

starstarstarstarstar 		propolis for 18 yr old kitty w tooth issues?
by: Julia

Hi Angela,

We truly hope you can help!
Our 18 y/o cat has been of marvelous health up until last month when we noticed he would keep his mouth slightly open. In a few days, his tongue started sticking out. We took him to a vet who prescribed antibiotic, and he finished a 10 day course 2 weeks ago. He's gained back some weight through our efforts, but his tongue has not settled back and keeps hanging out. This comes with drool, which he's upset about. Because he has trouble with his dry food, I started blending wet food with chewy vitamins, aloe vera, coconut/olive oil, and sometimes even CatSure milk.

He has a healthy side and the unhealthy side. The unhealthy side is visible "taller" than the other, and is a darker black color. Which product do you recommend we try to help maintain our kitty's condition as much as we can without traumatic/ scary vet visits? We don't want the black gum spreading further and infecting other parts.

Thanks so much in advance,
Julia.trakhtenberg@gmail.com


Angela's Comments:

Hi Julia,
Very sorry to hear about your cat's health challenge. I would recommend trying Propolis with him. You could use a powder and mix it in the food you are preparing or use a liquid tincture that is alcohol free. We sell a popular one that is fruit flavored and used by many pet owners. I would use the dropper to squirt drops directly into the mouth.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

by: Anonymous

You should probably take her to a vet to get proper antibiotics for her upper respiratory infection. If it goes on long enough it can cause secondary symptoms such as pneumonia, which can be difficult to treat. Ear mites are not affected by antibiotics (its a mite not bacteria) and can be difficult to get rid of, she will probably need to (in the least) be put on revolution (a very reliable flea and heartworm prevention that can prevent ear mites if used with milbemite) that can only be purchased from a vet office. Serious problems should be addressed by a vet, not by alternative measures.

I hope she gets better soon!

by: Lynn

I have been giving my 5lb cat a 1/4 tsp of bee propolis via her ears, twice a day. The cat had ear mites but she also has symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. Am I doing the right thing, or should I be putting the bee propolis in her food? I am thinking that it is absorbed through the skin, and also makes it's way via her ear to her throat.

Angela's comments:

Hi Lynn. I recommend both, both in her food and topically or in the ear. Just be careful with the propolis you administer topically. If it is an alcohol base, this can be harsh on sensitive skin. Better to use a non-alcohol based tincture.

by: Daphne

Hello I'm looking for natural remedies for my cats mouth and discovered bee propolis and your page. He was diagnosed with bartonella and finished his antibiotics and pain meds several months ago and unfortunately I do not have the funds to take him back to be retested. His mouth was severely infested due to his swollen gums and the vet recommended a full extraction of all of his teeth once his antibiotics were done. At this point his mouth again is in pain and due to his bad breath I believe he has an infection. Until I can take him to the vet again, would it be safe to give him liquid bee propolis and if so how much? He is a 6 year old 9lb tabby.

Give him 1 - 2 drops to start. Increase to 10 over a couple of weeks if tolerance is good.

Currently he is being medicated with Simplicef to prevent infection. The have also prescribed a shot-term Prednisolone therapy. He is also taking a mild sedative to keep him quieted and not scratching the area as it heals.

Propolis sounds as though it would help with protecting the wound while it's healing. Your thoughts and recommendations on this would be appreciated. Are vets using this product in the US?

Propolis dosage and duration for cats?

I have a household of kitties - 5 in all. One of which is quite elderly and has recently suffered an ulcer in his mouth. I have treated him with antibiotics as reccommended by the vet and have given him coloidal silver periodically and some vitamin C to help with the healing. My other 4 cats live seperatly from him, but they run the risk of the occasional sneeze and watery eye. One of them is FIV positive, so I want to give them and especially him the best defence to ward off illness. I have recently come accross the information on bee propolis and was interested in the dosage and how long to give to a cat that has the cat cold. I currently give them 250mg of L-Lysine daily and increase it to 500mg if there are signs of cat cold. Just curious if all things "Bee" can help, if it's something administered daily for maintenance, or just in times of need, and how much to give.
Thanks so much for your help,

Susan

Hi Susan,
Yes, you certainly can give cats propolis. I would recommend either the water based tincture or the powder/capsules (open the capsules and dump the powder into their food) As for the tincture, 1/4 dropper full should be sufficient and for the capsules, a quarter capsule is plenty to start with.

Hope that helps with your furry friends!

I have one kitty who is FIV +. She is approx. 10 - 12 yrs. old (She was a stray when she found me). In Aug. 2012 she was diagnosed w/ a nasal tumor. Prior to diagnosis she kept having a bloody nose and the bridge of her nose would fluctuate between swelling and subsiding. She has been on multiple rounds of various antibiotics, for both fungal or bacterial infection. (Trying to eliminate all possibilities). I had her sinuses flushed and tissue samples taken. She is currently taking 10 mg of Padilla 3x/wk, along w 5 mg. Methamozole 3x/day and Prednasolone every other day. He nose has started to swell again. It is currently draining though an open wound. I would like to try the natural antibiotic, bee propolis. What is your opinion? She weighs 6.6 lbs. Her appetite is good( I feed her wet Blue Buffalo anytime she wants). Her stools are good and she is active and still plays with toys. Your opinion, please.

Is bee propolis safe for pregnant cats?

I have a pregnant cat that is also suffering from several small partially healed wounds and abscesses on her hip that she got from scratches as a result of mating. We want to treat the injuries with bee propolis, both internally and on the exterior of the wounds. Is it safe for her gestating babies?

We ordered the alcohol tincture before we knew she was pregnant. If it is safe to use, how much should we give her as an oral antibiotic, and how many drops are right for the external application?

Angela's Comments:

I'd certainly be cautious using the alcohol based tincture with a pregnant cat. You might want to consider using a water based product instead.

I just don't know how the alcohol will affect the babies as I don't have much experience using propolis in cats, let alone pregnant cats. Always better to error on the side of caution.

Bee healthy,
Angela

starstarstarstarstar 		Cat on prednisone
by: Sandy

I have a 17.5 year old cat that has lymphoma, kidney failure, and teeth issues. Needless to say, I am saddened. However, I want to prolong his life as long as possible, but with as best of a quality of life he can have. I read about the benefits of green propolis for potential cancer fighting affects, as well as fighting bacterial infections and increasing appetite. He is on prednisone right now and I want to take him off of it and replace that with the green propolis. With the differences in green propolis versus other propolis, can cats have green propolis as well.

Yes.

The instructions on the bottle says to mix the propolis with honey. Can i use it straight in my cats food and if so how many drops to start off with?


Angela's comments:

Yes you can. Begin with one drop to ensure tolerance. Increase up to 3 drops per day if your cat tolerates it well. Always inform your vet of the supplments that you are giving your animal.

starstarstarstarstar 		Bee propolis for possible infection
by: Anonymous

I feed a few feral cats on my property. One showed up this morning with quite a limp. It doesn't look broke so I figure an infection due to a fight. I'm unable to get near him let alone capture him. Would bee propolis be a decent alternative treatment for such a wound to give in food, and how much for how long would be recommended? Thank you so much.

Angela's Comments:

Yes it would. 50 - 100 mg of an opened capsule would be sufficient for 1 - 2 weeks.
