[YEA]  08/05/2008: Jay from Florissant, Missouri writes: "I used apple cider vinegar to cure my cat's urinary blockage after a 1500 dollar visit to the vet the first time this occured. A neighbor suggested trying a home remedy. I found this web site and learned about apple cider vinegar to cure cat's of urinary blockage.I had a syringe from the vet for giving my cat water to help him swallow his medicine I used this 6 militer syringe to give my cat ACV BY MIXING IT WITH ONE CUP OF WATER AND GIVING HIM 1FULL syringe in the morning and 1 at night the 1st 3 days then 1/2 a teespoon of ACV to his water dish which holds 2 cups.

I am pleased to report that MAX my male cat is doing fine and is urinating normally now will keep him on this for the rest of his life. my thanks to Earth clinic"

I don't know if it was spread everywhere from us petting her or brushing her with a baby brush, or if it was absorbed through her skin and spread from there, but wow. She was always a scruffy runt, but now she's downright regal looking!"

Why isn't Apple Cider Vinegar a staple in every household? Truly a life changing remedy the doctors sure don't tell you about. Thanks a million to everyone who took the time to provide VALUABLE information on this site. I'm using it now for my cat who almost died from crystals...a urinary blockage. The vet wanted to perform a painful $1,500 surgery, but the ACV is doing the trick to regulate his PH levels. Unbelievable..."

[YEA]  05/04/2008: Tonya from Houston, TX, USA writes: "Apple cider vinegar is great for crystals and UTIs in cats.

The vets would be out of business if they recommended ACV, because it heals almost everything. In addition to all the skin disorders that cause scratching and hair loss, I have cured my male cats crystals which almost killed him 4 yrs ago. I had great success clearing another cats urinary tract infection. Wish I had known about this remedy last year when I had a house full of foster cats with upper respiratory infections. It cost a bundle having them all on antibiotics. People and their pets should have Apple Cider Vinegar everyday for many many reasons as reflected in this outstanding site. Thank goodness for the Internet, because this is information the doctors sure won't tell us. They have an expensive office visit and a toxic pill for everything.."

Thanks so much!"

So I went out and bought eye washes and eye treatments. They didn't work. so in my last efort to avoid a costly vet bill I tried the ACV. I just rubed a little into the nap of her neck. she ran off to sulk and then not more than not more then 2 hurs latter her eye had dramatically improved. I reapplyed the ACV one more time then went to sleep. I am happy to say that today Ebony ( my cat) feels and looks 100% better. I cant belive it myself but this stuff realy worked. Don't believe it just try it. the bottle only costs $1.00 or so and there is no harm to your cat. you have nothing to lose."

I am also putting some in the dogs water :)  They are drinking it too - Red (the cat) also gets it dabbed on her raw spots - within two treatments I began to see a difference.  She licked and chewed so much, she constantly threw up most of her food - she is now happier and so are we! Thanks"

[YEA]  02/23/2008: Casey from Lancaster, PA writes: "Dreading another vet bill, I looked online for a home remedy to clear up a "goopy" looking eye infection developing in one of my cat's eyes. I read that if you massage a little ACV into the scruff of the neck, it clears up within minutes.  Very hard to believe, I know - but I decided to give it a try.  I massaged some into his neck and he promptly ran off to hide for awhile.  He came back out about an hour later, running around and playing.  I looked at his eyes and honestly couldn't even tell which one had the problem.  Two days later, still all clear.  I don't know why or how it worked, but it did and I'm very thankful someone posted the suggestion and I wanted to pass it on."

I do not give her pills regularly unless I see scratching symptoms since it's supposed to cause diabetese in the long run. My other cat who is 10 years old has never had this scratching problem.  but recently she started scratching around the neck severely.  I had my place renovated and I thought it was the dust. so i gave her a bath and have been trying to keep my place clean as possible. Took her to the vet, blood test, gave her a bath, flea drops, etc. When I add vinegar to their water, they don't drink it.  So, I tried putting it on their fur.  They hate it and my other cat scrateched her face so badly that she had a reg scar that she never had before. I guess it works for some and not for others."

[YEA]  01/29/2008: Arif Jinha from Carleton Place, Canada writes: "Our cat was suffering from raw patches of skin and loss of fur, and one spot that likely started from scratches from the other two cats that she had licked raw to the point that it was a scarlet red wound, slightly crusted with a lot of hair loss. We used a few drops in the water, and sponged the affected areas with ACV. In less than two days, we are happy to say her skin is healing, her coat is healthier-looking and the bad scratch has begun to heal, no more brigh red.  miraculous! I tried to find any journal articles from peer-reviewed veterinary medicine journals but could not!  We were even advised by a pharmacist that using ACV was a silly idea.  This has convinced me that we really have a problem in the way traditional science evaluates these remedies. So many anecdotes of success, but researchers ignore it! thanks!"

[YEA]  01/26/2008: Marcella from Petaluma, CA writes: "ACV for Cats: Three Cheers! My seven-month-old rescue kitty came into my home with an upper respiratory infection and later developed some conjunctivitis in his left eye. Following the advice on this page, I gave him a dropperful of ACV right into the fur on the nape of his neck and massaged it down into his skin. Some of the liquid ran down the sides of his neck, where he licked it off. Within 90 minutes of his first dose, the conjunctivitis started to clear up, and his energy perked up considerably. He is now free of both the upper respiratory issue and the eye infection, with no vet visit needed. I know give him a maintenance dose every few days and yes, he's a little stinky from the vinegar, but happy and healthy nonetheless. I've also started taking the ACV myself. Good stuff."

[YEA]  01/05/2008: Tricia from Hamilton, On, canada writes: "A couple of weeks ago I responded re ACV remedy, I was very pleased with the results. I am sending my comments again because when I think of the money I spent at the vet which did not cure the cats ear infection and this simple solution of ACV worked so well.  Its a wonderful solution, our cat seems to be completely healed, no more scratching what so ever."

[YEA]  12/18/2007: Tricia from Hamilton, On writes: "I have a seven year old indoor siamese, have been having trouble with his ears getting dirty for the last year and a half, vet has treated him with clavamox and prednisone and even though the scratching stops it returns as soon as the meds are finishedl. I recently read the article re apple cider vinegar and the dirt in his ears is basically almost gone and the scratching has stopped, obviously this method is working but I still do not know what is causing the dirt.  The vet said it was an infection and the clavamox would cure it but it did not.  I have to say I am extremely impressed with the acv remedy.  Hopefully in time this will cure him completely."

[YEA]  12/12/2007: Karen Chafe from Melbourne Beach, Florida writes: "I have a female feral cat who has always had upper respirtory problems along with crystals in her urine. Morgan wrote in saying her cat also had crystals, was wondering if the ACV has cured this. Also if it will help with the respirtory problems this cat has. When they do put her on antibiotics her breathing gets better - the rest of the time I can always hear her breathing as she always seems stuffed up. She sneezes on a regular basis to help clear her nose. She does seem to smell with no problem despite this. She is 6 yrs old and the only one of that feral batch that has this problem."

It has gotten to the point that he scratches all his hair off his neck and he has scabs all over the area.  He does not have fleas.  I have tried every pet spray, wipes, drops there is.  I did not want to take him to the vets, only because to him, it is tramatic and I can't stand to see this cat act like he does at the vets, and I did not want him to be on any steroid treatment.  So looking on the web one night hoping to find a "miracle" for this cats condition, I stumbled across something about apple cider vinegar.  I decided I would try it, what could it hurt?   I decided to put a few drops in his water and mark his water bowl to see if he drank any.  I was never so excited when I came home from work and found out that not only did he drink some of his water, but the scratching and CONSTANT licking has stopped!!!  I came home to a very playful, happy cat.  I am thankful I read about apple cider vinegar.  Don't be afraid to try it.....it really works and its very safe to use on animals!!!!"
