Rest in peace my love, Sai, the best cat in the world ever and never again.
Many years ago I posted my story on here about my cat whom the Vet said was on her way out due to old age and kidney failure and that I should put her to sleep. I declined his suggestion and instead researched the net and found this site.
Back then I was ignorant and believed prescription drugs were the answer. (They weren't) In fact the medication the Vet prescribed made her stop eating all together and her health worsened.
After learning about ACV I stopped the medication and started giving my cat diluted ACV in her food and also on her fur and she gradually started to eat again and regained her weight and started peeing normally. (Thanks to ACV she lived another year before passing away from old age)
Unfortunately Doctors and Vets are not educated in natural health remedies and only prescribe pharmaceutical products, which sadly are not the solution.
Having regular check up for your pets is the answer and surgery if needed, but man made chemicals do more harm in the long run.
If your Vet finds a health issue research the net for natural remedies. ACV did not kill your pet... Appetite stimulants and pain killers are the cause of liver failure.
Do your homework and read about pharmaceutical companies and their products. (The lists of side effects and deaths from pharmaceutical drugs is scary)
Nature has provided us with everything we need to heal ourselves and our pets naturally.
Side Effects
I have to agree with your holistic vet on this; your cat died from his tumour, not the ACV. While it's possible that taking your pet to the vet at the first signs of illness - repeated vomiting and voiding large volumes of urine - you may have been able to diagnose his underlying tumour condition, it is also just as likely that the tumour could be missed as they can be difficult to detect until they grow to a noticable size.
I am very sorry for your loss - it sounds like you gave your cat the very best care you possibly could - may he rest in peace.
Side Effects
I use it in emergencies if my male has problems urinating (common in male cats due to their much narrower urethra than females). Some males are more prone to crystal formation more than others. If you allow your cats to eat freely 24/7 without any schedule, you're asking for a problem as the constant food in their system never allows their natural acidic ph to return... making a perfect environment for crystal formation AND bacteria.
STOP ALLOWING YOUR CATS TO EAT FREELY!!!!
Just make sure you always dilute ACV, some say 50/50, I say 1-to-4 ratio (1 part ACV, 4 parts distilled water). The high acidity is bad for delicate tissues of the mouth, throat and stomach..... and VERY hard on their teeth (as with humans). That's why I will not mix it into food as then it is in direct, sustained contact with the enamel surfaces of the teeth.
Side Effects
EC: Hi, can you please tell us how you used ACV? Did you apply a 50/50 ACV and Water solution topically to your cat's scruff? Or did you use organic ACV diluted with lots of water in food?

Side Effects
EC: Please NEVER give a cat straight vinegar. It must always be diluted at least 50/50 with water. Also, Apple Cider Vinegar is the type of vinegar to use for cats, not red wine vinegar. The best and gentlest method for both cats and dogs is to apply diluted apple cider vinegar to the scruff of their necks and their paw pads. It def works.
