Has anyone had any experience with goldenseal or echinacea use for cats? What form and dosage did you use?

We have an 8 year old cat with a persistent bloody nose only one on side and two rounds of antibiotics have not helped. We have other cats so it's not contagious

We have brought her to the vet a few times, and without spending thousands more to determine if its polyps or cancer, we are looking to make her as comfortable as possible until it becomes clear the end is near.

Our vet offered to refer us to a holistic vet but he said they are expensive and Don't work.

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Question for everyone:

About 6 weeks ago, my wife's favorite cat died after a short battle with a nasal tumor. We spent a lot of money on the cat before they told her it was probably cancer but that she had a thyroid condition and wanted us to spend a lot more money on tests. She was sick and when we brought her to the vet to put her to sleep, she started bleeding out her nose...basically confirming what everyone thought.

Anyways, we have 3 other cats. They're 12, 9, and 6. Last weekend was a free adoption weekend at the MSPCA so we got our fourth cat and have been keeping her quarantined for 7 days like they suggested until we're sure she doesn't have an upper respiratory infection.

What is the best way to go about introducing them?
Who should we introduce first? The calm one? The grumpy one? The playful one?
Would it be better to put her in the living room where we have a glass door separating the two rooms so they can see each other?
Or should we take one old one and the new one in the bedroom and close the door?

Any advice is helpful.

Hey all,

We got our wonderful puppy Georgie two weeks ago. He’s a six month old cucunu.

However - this is my first dog - he has roundworm. How infectious is this? How long do the meds take? Any advice?
