    In my honest opinion, these people should not have pets. If they brainlessly follow random TikTok person instead of actual proven products specially made for pets, what else will they do when a random person says something?

      In this specific case, there’s really no harm and it is probably better for the cat to accidentally consume some tumeric instead of flea shampoo. If it helps with fleas and you don’t mind having a yellow cat, who cares?

      This assumes that these people at least took a moment to check that tumeric isn’t poisonous to cats. If they didn’t, I agree with you fully.

      It’s not like the cat got hurt. It’s just a silly color for a few weeks.

        I had two chickens that got mauled by the neighbors dogs. One died, but I tried everything I could in a frenzy to administer aid. I went to Tractor Supply and bought all the shit. One medication, Blue Coat, comes out in a shiny blue mist. The living chicken is still blue months later. I also later found out it had alcohol which burns on the wound. Felt bad about that, but I’m not a vet, and that fucker still lives (has a bald spot at it’s neck, but meh, still covered with feathers. Hoping she’s got enough to cover her for winter.) So yeah, blue coat may work, but I sprayed them with like 3 ointments and rubbed neosporin and gave them antibiotics, so who knows what helped more, and the animal will look like Wonka’s Violet probably forever.
