My wonderful Purrpot Muchkin is coming 14 this year, and starting four years ago, in the fall, she would turn into a sneezing mess, which would require rounds of antibodics to clear it up.. two years ago, she required a food change, at least two rounds of Antibodics and the sneezy, snotty mess was starting sooner and lasting longer.
This year I was at a loss as it appeared that her allegies were on a cycle and I would have to do a routine course of antibodics on her on and off again, the very last thing I would want to do but when you get snotty/sneezy, she would reduce her eating (typically kitty, if she could not smell it, she would not want to eat it)
Well, I was providing support in a number of natural ways, fresh chopped hard boiled farm fresh eggs, bone broths, and bone/veggie broths over her special kibble, a typical spoon of yogurt for gut health..
Then I started milking the sheep and I just have not been keeping up on yogurt making, and a couple weeks ago, she begged for the fresh warm just in the house milk and I thought, why not, and poured her about 1/4th of a cup, soon each morning after milking, she would come running for her “breakfast” and even by the third day I noticed that she seemed more her, three weeks into her daily raw fresh milk, (without needing any other treatment) she had cleared up, no more snotty nose, no more eye gunk to clear out, less itching, and even more exciting to me, a tiny little belly is starting to appear, I am honestly thrilled to bits at watching her come back to health, she is still on her special diet, and I will continue to make sure I check her carefully, but I just had to say.. wow.. for this purrpot at least.. raw whole sheep milk did a much! better job then any antibodic I have used over the past two years..



SO glad to hear that her health has returned!! I’m betting that her troubles were being made worse by the antibiotics and your fresh, raw milk has restored her intestinal flora/microbiota/GUT back to a healthy balance: )
HOORAY for Real, Live Food!!
I agree, I knew that having to use the antibodics were a bad thing but something you need to balance the bad with the good.. but I am so happy that this appears to be working so! much better..
I vote for the enzymes. Allergies are mostly due to low amounts of them. Yay for sheep milk!
