    Thankyou so much for caring enough about animal welfare that you take your time to make these videos for owners freely available. With the rising cost of living, it makes me worry people cant afford to take pets to vets. That you give us informed effective ways to treat minor things at home is such a blessing. I and my pets thankyou so much 🙏

    I have to say, if it wasn't for you I would not have treated my cat {who had an abscess} at home. It was a large hole in his abdomen and nasty. My tenant had a cat that was attacked and spent close to a thousand dollars at the vet. To this day you would never know my cat even had a wound. So grateful for you.

    Sounds like Lamb chop has been a Guinea Pig for amputation as well ..... Thanks for the show and tell. Could have used this last year on a stray cat 🙀 who had a golf ball size abscess on his neck. $1000.00 (got neutered too). He shows his appreciation everyday.

    I remember treating a cat abscess maybe 15 years ago. Cleaning.. check, draining check, products used, betadine and colloidal silver. We tried to wrap him to keep the wound clean.. it was on his back.. he rolled that wrap right off and lost it somewhere.

    I wish I had known this 2 years ago.
    Our neighbor refused to take their cat to seek help for his huge abscess on top of his head.
    They even threatened us if we took him to see our vet. He ended up missing, and we never saw him again. The owners said he must have run away.
    He was so neglected, and it still haunts me to this day, go what really happened to him😢.
    We fed, played, and loved him, and he loved us too. We even allowed him in our home, and we had never had a cat before. We all loved him.
    Thank you for your helpful videos!

    Eight months ago a feral kitten that stayed in my backyard had a huge abcess on her neck. I didn't know what to do since I was a first time cat owner and didn't have money to take her to the vet. I searched in UA-cam and found one of your older videos on how to treat a wound and let me tell you that your recommendations helped me a lot. I would wiped her abcess with chlorohexidine twice a day and covered it with Vaseline and she recovered perfectly. Now, she lives with me and if you see her you couldn't tell she had an abcess in her neck. I cannot thank you so much for your remedies. Continue what you're doing, you're truly appreciated 🙏🐱

    My cat got a deep bite on his wrist joint on his arm. It wasn't infected at first but very tender so he wasn't walking on it so I was doing a gentle hot compress on it but he wouldn't let me do anything else. It did get infected then and I got one hot compress that drew out the infection then he wanted nothing to do with me and hid for days. The whole area basically had opened up by the time he let me even look at him again still couldn't catch him though. Now it's all drained out and healing up he's back to his old self; walking, jumping, coming to me for pets and cuddles. Wish I could have done more to clean it out but he's kinda wild and kept run/hopping away to hid where I couldn't get to him. Just glad he's almost healed now. Thank you doctor, this info will come in handy if it happens again!

    Doctor, you are amazing. I myself get chronic abscesses. You helped me & my cat Scar. I bought 95$ worth of stuff at Walmart for surgery on Scar but all I needed was CBD oil and lidocaine patches which I cut into a 1x1 square. I gave a couple drops of CBD orally and rubbed some on the abscess. Yesterday we were hot compressed many times. I drew the pus to the middle of the abscess which deteriorated the skin in that spot. I slapped a patch there. Today when I peeled it off roughly the patch took the middle of the wound with it. I have good drainage now right where I asked for it. Keep it flowing out!

    You mention CBD for pain relief and I have been giving CBD isolate with MCT oil as a carrier to my older cats for some time. Do you have an opinion on CBG and/or CBC paired with CBD, minimal THC >0.1%? Does the “entourage effect” of pairing cannabinoids improve efficacy in cats as it does with people?
    I work in cannabis/hemp extraction/isolation so I have access to various distillates with different profiles and would like to incorporate distillates into their diet as opposed to isolates for bio availability but I haven’t found a lot of good information regarding other cannabinoids besides CBD for pet treatment?
