I know I've seen several threads about using colloidal silver to heal various sores, but of course I can't find the one I want.
I have two cats with severe gingivitis/stomatitis. The sores in Hercules' mouth are at least partly related to chronic herpes. My vet isn't sure what's causing Goldy's problems, but hers are much worse than Hercules'. The relief they get from any treatment is only temporary and nothing ever seems to clear it up entirely.
I've been doing a lot of reading about colloidal silver and it seems like about half the people swear it's a wonder drug and the other half say it does absolutely nothing and has some bad side effects. I asked my vet about it and he said it might help or it might do nothing but that there are no side effects.
My poor kitties have been suffering for so long I'm willing to try just about anything that won't cause more harm. I got a bottle of colloidal silver, 500PPM, but I don't know what dose to give. The only instructions on the bottle say "1/2 teaspoon in a glass of water 1 time a day". Obviously that's a human dosage.
For those of you who use colloidal silver, how do you administer it? I was thinking the easiest way to get the stuff into their mouths would be to put it on a cotton swab and run it over their gums, rather than trying to squirt it from the dropper. Should I dilute it first? I tried a drop of it myself just to see if it tastes bad. It basically has no taste, but I did find the tip of my tongue was tingling for quite a while and I thought it might be because of the concentration.
