Goat Milk to Keep Cat Hydrated

Posted By Anonymous (Usa) on 12/16/2010

"Goat milk doesn't seem to cure the constipation, but it keeps her hydrated and somewhat nourished when she wouldn't otherwise eat. Goat milk is easier for people to digest than cow milk, so I tried it with her. She also eats raw chicken liver, especially the blood, when she won't otherwise eat. So if your friend is not eating, maybe try that. You might also smear a little glucosamine paste onto the front foot. Mix some CoQ10 into it maybe, I think somewhere I saw 5mg was appropriate for a small cat, but check for yourself. If she tastes the medicine in her food she won't eat, but if it's smeared onto her paw she will lick it off."

"I might try your ideas. And like one poster said, I have spent a small fortune on enemas or anesthesia and extractions at our vet clinic. Max is almost 13 yrs. They’re only idea being 1/4 tsp miralax twice a day in his food. If he smells it he doesn’t eat it after awhile. Did yours take the goat milk? Where do I find glucosinate Paste? I’ve not heard of it. And does it work better than the tomlyn gel for hairballs? It’s hard to administer that sticky stuff."
