A couple of cats that were exposed to Upper Respiratory Infection at the Animal Rescue League came back to live with us, that's a long story made short because the meat of the subject material is my experience with colloidal silver (5-6 ppm) and a house full of sick cats.
Here's how it breaks down, or, at least how THEY broke down.
Cat 1. (Ow kitty) Very sick, started to get an eye infection, probably feverish no doubt as she had no energy, green boogers came forth from her nose and eyes
Cat 2. (Milky) Very sick, no eye infections, runny nose but no green stuff, boogers were clear. High fever one day. Listless generally
Cat 3. (Mr.Grey) Mostly just a bad bout of sneezing and some coughing with low energy.
Cat 4. (White Puddy) Same as Mr. Grey but with slightly worse coughing and sneezing.
Cat 5. (Fudgy) An occasional sneeze, a bit of sniffles, almost didn't qualify as being sick.
Cat 6. (Brownie- The other cat from the pound)
Not sick at all.
Cat 7. (Oreo)
Not sick either.
Cat 1, (Ow kitty) Had no colloidal silver at all because before we bought some CS we had taken her to the vet and because she had the secondary opportunistic bacterial infection, which caused the green eye crud and the green boogers she was prescribed anti-biotics (clavamox) and eye cream (BNP), she also got saline solution injected because of dehydration.
I did not want to combine CS with these medications.
I am happy to say that she is now getting better after about a whole week.
Cat 2 (Milky) I was only able to feed Milky about 9-12 cc's (or ml's) of the 5-6 ppm CS solution as she was not co-operating. Of the 6 cats that got CS, she got the least, as a matter of fact, the Vet had to give her injected saline because she was not drinking enough water anyway.
Cat 3-7
They all drank enough water from their bowl (cat 3-5 a bit less often). In the bowl I put about a 3/4 cup (not an actual measure, an estimate) of water in and into the water I would squirt about 4-5 dropper loads of CS in (note that I also fed the cats some CS strait from a syringe (dropper to shot glass to syringe to cat to keep the dropper clean) )
So, what are my thoughts?
I think it worked, but not as well as the internet would have one believe. I believe it did limit the virus somewhat as 3 cats symptoms never progressed beyond a sneeze fest and a cough-a-thon and the two others which statistically speaking might not have gotten sick weather they got CS or not. Did CS prevent their illness from happening? I don't know that. I believe that the CS did prevent the cats from getting a secondary bacterial infection.
Mr.Grey started to get a runny eye, but that soon stopped after CS treatment. One of White Puddy's eyes started to show signs as it was a bit reddish and half shut, but soon after a day returned to normal.
Yes, I do believe that CS helped my cats, they were still sick, but in my opinion much less sick than they could have been.
If I had silver of a 99.999 purity I would have made my own colloidal silver solution and I would have laid it right to them, but alas, the bottle was only 250ml's (about 8oz) and cost about $22 dollars so I had to be really tight with it, I would have liked to put in their bowl a strait 5-6 ppm CS solution, that may have been more effective.
Anyhow, I will be ordering some silver coins very soon. Silver coins for some strange reason are less expensive than silver wire by a fair margin.
Then I will try CS on myself, who wants to be sick?
Not me.

OK, lets discuss the kittens (soon to be cats)
Got any cat questions, just ask, you can be #1.
(you are always #1 in my book! Unless of course you are inquirer #2, then you can be my #1 number 2 inquirer! How's that, I knew you'd love that! Even if you were the third questioner, you'd be the first #3 inquirer, see how that works, you are always #1, You can't lose!)
