Hi, Dr Terri
Thank you so much for your attention, I'm so sad to see my cat sick...
He has this allergy at about a month, at a second time.
In the first time (a year ago), I stoped to buy any chemical cleaners, and I used only apple vinegar to clean the house.
But I have a maid that used some chemical disinfectants, when I was at work, and my cat has the same allergy again...
I hope you could help us...
:-)
Excuse me for my bad English, I'm Brazilian and I don't speak English so good...

Dear Virginia,

 

Your English is purrfect!

 

Vinegar is the only cleaner you will ever need.

 

Here are instructions:

Just tell your maid not to bring any other cleaners into your home.

 

Feed him only canned food as dry promotes allergies:

Please let me know how your boy is doing.

 

I hope all will be well.

 

Warmest best wishes,

 

Terri
