We do. About an ounce per quart or so of 5 ppm doesn't cause our cat any problems. > I > have bowls of water down so that it is available to them at any time - thus, > there is no way to really gauge how much intake each one is getting. That is good. Basically since the silver simple follows the water, they always have a specific ppb in their blood stream. For instance if you use one oz per quart of 5 ppm silver then the water will have about 5/33 ppm or 150 ppb of silver, and after a period of time the blood will have approximately 150 ppb of silver as well. This is much easier than weighing the cat then figuring out how much to give depending on the weight several times a day. Plus those that drink more water, need more CS since they flush it out of their body quicker. By adding it to the water, it all comes our automatically without having to concern yourself with their weight, and drinking habits. Also it keeps the water bowl free of bacteria and algae. > Though, > with it diluted in their water, I kind of doubt that they'd really be taking > in too much.

Maybe bacteria are forming a "glue" that is making the hair clump together. > One other concern I > had with them taking CS daily is the breakdown of good bacteria in their > digestive system. Any ideas? This is a matter of quantity. Since silver does not have significant mobility in the intestines it's effectivess is greatly reduced. Also most of the silver will already be absorbed into the blood stream before reaching the intestines. If there seems to be a problem, cut back. My family has been taking 1 oz. per 100 pounds per day for over a year with no intestinal problems. > I'm hoping I can continue as I have two cats > that have eye infections that the vet says will be with them for life.

Irrigate directly with 5 to 20 ppm CS. > Appreciate any feedback and experiences of others with pets and CS. > > Also - can Olive Leaf Extract be used with pets? Sorry, know nothing of that.
