Title: Two questions - grass and rescue remedy
Post by: Maddiesmum on June 01, 2008, 10:47:23 AM

Hiya

Know I can rely on you lovely clever peeps to answer!

1) Charlie eats grass every morning before breakfast.  He isn't sick after it.  Is this normal?

2) How much rescue remedy should I use on Charlie and how often?

Cheers

Not sure about the eating grass daily, but it can help them for roughage as well as emptying their tum.
Think you can use 4 drops of RR up to 4 times a day in cats, but I generally only use it once or twice a day.

Alice always passes grass rather than being sick. I think that if it's wide, rough grass there is a better chance of sicking it up.

1) I have heard of cats eating grass regularly. If he does it every day and comes to no harm, I guess for him it is normal and nothing to be concerned about?

2) If it were me, I would save my money  :innocent:

All 4 of my cats regulairly have a grass dinner and yes most everyday, kocka use to as well.

All mine get sick cos they use it to bring up any fur they may have as they are all long haired.

Sasa I am not sure is sje gets sick cos its hard to keep tabs on her.

When I was in garden this morning Franta brought up his grasss breakfast and when I came in Oooooooooooo what a horrible grassy mess had been delivered by Misa on my puta chair.

Grass eating is quite normal but wish they wouldnt do it before and after food  :rofl: :rofl:

Milly is the only one that tends to be sick but thats just her. I have to feed her 4 small meals as an empty tummy isnt any good. More common in dogs i was told  :-:
