I also have a cat with Feline hyperthesia. Every vet I have seen so far looks at the symptoms and not the disease, even though I live with him, and told the vet I work for now about how he fits every single symptom. I have been told it is everything from skin allergies to seizures due to head trauma which he does have. No one can explain his bursts of energy, his dimentia, his self biting at his hindquarters. I even printed out information on feline hyperthesia. I have now contacted another vet, who I have already talked to about this, and she actually understands!



What I do for Marley, he is siamese mixed by the way, is I got Dr. Ackermans siezure & epilepsy medicine. You can buy it online at the Only Natural Pet store.com, and the stuff works great! He has only been on it a week now, but it is helping with every symptom. The poor guy is no longer biting himself, he is not doped up, this is all natural. the valerian root, helps calm him. Also at Purely Pets.com, you can buy something else they have, it is a tonic that has alomost all the same ingredients in it.

They also have wonderful articles on this. I refuse to put him on any chemical meds, I have stopped his chemical flea control, they is info on natural flea/tick control with The Only Natural Pet Store.

For heartworms, I use essential oils like lavender in his shampoo, you can also use lavender pure, and just groom it on him, which can be hard with their sensitivity. I can hardly groom this cat, he is actually afraid of the brush, and it is a soft one.
