About Theresa
Theresa from Minneapolis was born and raised in the inner city, always wishing she had been raised on a farm.
Her love for creatures great and small began at an early age, starting with caterpillars - which continues to this day, along with an interest in all insects and 'creepy crawlies'.
Theresa's interest in pet health started with a bird keeping hobby at age 14, where she learned from another hobbyist that the simple addition of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in a bird's drinking water kept fungal infections away; she was able to share this with her avian vet who in turn prescribed it to her own clients; Theresa was surprised to learn that she could teach her vet a thing or two. This important lesson - that each of us can be a teacher - was a turning point for Theresa, and fueled her quest for the knowledge held in lore, and remedies passed by word of mouth. That quest for knowledge continues to this day, as new and old remedies alike are explored. She may not have experience with a particular issue, but she will research it to the best of her ability and share what she finds freely, in the hopes that you can heal or improve your pet's health.

Also...does anyone know how to use chamomile tea for conjunctivitis in cats? I find conflicting info from site to site, some saying chamomile is toxic to cats, others saying it's fine to use as an eye wash. My cat, Cee Cee, has had terrible conjunctivitis for three months now, and the antibiotic eye salve the vet gave us doesn't really help.
Would appreciate some guidance.

Carol, my cats, if they have pink eye get a few drops of my midstream urine twice a day for two or three days. But it works immediately and stops the pain. The rest is follow up. Om

Hi, I'm sorry, I have read this post 3 x's and am confused...did you say you used URINE on your cat?? Was wondering if you misspelled a word or something or if you actually meant, urine.I have never heard of this method and if this is what you meant to say, where did you find this treatment method?
How does it work and where do you put your umm urine?
EC: HI Delilah,
Yes, Om has written about Urine Therapy in a number of posts on Earth Clinic over the years. Please type "Om, Urine Therapy" into our search engine box at the top and you'll read more of her posts on the subject. Unfortunately, she hasn't posted on EC in a number of months and might not reply.

I'm an RN for 35 years. I asked a doctor one time 30 years ago in an elevator if urine of my own urine would cure my pink eye. He thought about it for a minute and he said happy yes, it would. Yes, you can use your own urine for your own cat. Two or three drops two or three times a day. Your own urine can work miracles you need to look into it. I bought an eyewash cup, and every time I went to the restroom, I caught my urine washed my eyes with the eyecup pink eye gone. It Works!

You can try the ACV remedy for conjunctivitus from EC:
Home Remedy Ingredients
- Unpasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar - 2 Teaspoons
- Filtered Water - 1 Cup
Mix 2 tsp of unpasteurized apple cider vinegar in a cup of water. Dip a cotton pad or soft cloth in the solution to wash the eyelid inside and out. You can place a few drops of the water mixture in the eye as well. You should repeat this treatment every few hours until the conjunctivitis is completely healed. Usually that will take from 2-3 days.
You can also try the advice from another poster [scroll down for original post]:
12/08/2013: Bluejade4 from Houston, tx: "I used a drug called Pink Eye Remedy for humans on my cat. You can get this at any drug store. My cat is 1 year old and she had eye redness with swelling very teary and little yellow puss like discharge at the corner of one eye. And just redness in the other eye. She was not playing much and would hide and sleep most of the day. I tried the Apple Cider Vinegar and the Neosporin they helped a little but was not effective enough. I bought the pink eye remedy cleaned her eyes with a wet warm face cloth. Held my cat down had my daughter drop 2 drops per eye. I did this twice daily for three days. My cat is all better now she is playing and is her old self. Her eyes are clear bright and normal."

Have you ever taken your cat to the vet to find out why your cat has reoccurring eye infections?
Conjunctivitis - pink eye - can be bacterial in nature or viral. If he is being contaminated with bacteria, he needs to be kept out of whatever is causing the reinfection.
Its also entirely possible he has Feline Herpes - which manifests as a viral form of conjunctivitis, and if so the eye infections may be life long/chronic and additional nutritional support such as lysine is likely indicated.
