Moddy – Joint Pain, Weight Loss, Chronic Fever
Moddy, is a loving 13-year-old male neutered tabby cat.
Moddy presented with recurrent fever, weight loss, lameness, and joint pain. Diagnostic testing revealed neutrophilic inflammation in the right
tarsus. His medical history included a chronic heart murmur, hyperthyroidism (on carbimazole), and elevated white blood cells. Despite multiple conventional treatments, including oral steroids and antibiotics Moddy’s symptoms persisted, and his appetite was poor.
Treatment Goals: To reduce joint pain and inflammation, improve his appetite, weight gain, gastrointestinal status, immune health and well-being.
Integrative Treatment Plan: Transition to a balanced, carbohydrate-free feline diet with broth. The use of herbal medicine, medicinal mushrooms, probiotics, fish oil and collagen to support musculoskeletal inflammation, immune health and infection.
Outcome: There was a significant improvement in the lameness and hindleg strength.
Moddy’s appetite, coat condition, body weight and overall demeanour markedly improved and the steroid dose reduced with plans for discontinuation.
Owners Feedback: "On the 18th of December 2024 my cat Moddy walked into our home limping on his front leg. Three days after that Moddy could barely walk. What ensued after that was never ending visits to my vet, Moddy was put on many drugs and had a specialist report to find out what was wrong, but nothing was working. Just over $4,000 later I decided to do some research online regarding natural remedies and that is when I came across Jacqui.
All I am going to say is this, within two days of giving Moddy the natural products that Jacqui had recommended I could see a huge improvement in Moddy. From March 2025, Moddy continued to improve and now he is not only pain free but back to his normal self and enjoying life.
Jacqui your knowledge of holistic veterinary care is beyond reproach. There will never be enough thanks I can give you because you absolutely saved my beloved Moddy."
