Thank you for this article. I've been treating the easy stuff for years using the methods you've mentioned with great success. I had a Maine Coon cat that would get awful colds. His whole ruff would get stiff from the mucus. I took him to a vet several times thru the year but at $125-$150 a crack it was getting quite expensive. I've always treated myself and my two-legged kids with echinacea at the first sign of the sniffles and it would usually stop a cold dead in it's tracks.Well, It worked on Er-so-bad (Guess how he got his Maine Coonie name! I used the liquid from Nature's Way with a 1:4 extract. I wouldn't use it on a kitten under 6 mos old.) Start with .25ml (dropper is marked). You can wash it down with a little water but DO NOT force it down the throat. You don't want the cat to choke or aspirate the fluid into it's lungs. My cats produced alot of saliva, almost like a light foaming. If they keep it down you should see a marked improvement the next day. Even if some comes back up, they are still getting some of the benefits. Keep it up for at least a week. Oh while I'm on this, I have been told to NEVER give a cat any aspirin product EVER because it is FATAL!
