Will kombucha help my friend's cat's skin problems?

[Guest guest]

I have followed various posts here about whether one should or should

not feed kombucha to cats, with no definitive answers.

I am more thinking about applying it externally. A good friend of mine

has two Siamese cats. The female, abt 11 yrs. old, has cancer in her

jaw. Several years ago she was attacked by a dog and ended up with a

her pelvis broken in several places where arthritis seems to have set

in. All these things have slowed her down, but she is still very

loving and sometimes full of spunk. But over the last couple of years

she also developed a skin condition; she sheds a lot of hair, has many

bald spots, and is probably very itchy because she is continuously

licking herself. Poor thing, it just breaks my heart to watch her. I

wonder if kombucha tea, applied to the bare skin patches, would give

her some releaf? Has anyone had any experience with this ? I would

also offer scobies, but am hesitant because of the discussions on

this board; after all it's not my cat and I don't want to be

responsible if this makes her worse...; I sure would like to ease her

discomfort.
