Thank you for responding to my comment. Several years ago we moved ourselves and our two cats to the arctic of Norway where we work. Living in Norway has its advantages, such as the magnificent beauty and peacefulness of our surroundings in an arctic village, however, we are far from cities and access to holistic care or supplies. Out of desperation and lots of research online, I had to come up with hopefully safe and successful treatments for my cats on my own. Norway does not recognize holistic health care for humans or for animals, therefore we are on our own with our cat's healthcare and our own (we wouldn't let their "white coats" near us or our cats unless it is a dire emergency). We thankfully brought with us from the US a supply of various herbal tinctures and colloidal silver, so that was what I had to turn to for treatments. I was expecting my cat's abscesses to ripen and drain with the application of the herbal tinctures and colloidal silver as you mention, but they never have. They just flatten out and disappear! Sometimes by the next day (and I am not exaggerating). And they haven't come back. This not only surprised me, but relieved me, for a trip to a vet here for cats usually ends up in euthanasia!! Thank you for your tips on homeopathic remedies. I will try to get a hold of them the next time I am in a country where I can purchase them.
