Bach Flower Rescue Remedy used on cats (dogs).?

Does anyone have any experience using Rescue Remedy on house pets for various reasons?

My cat has begun cleaning herself compulsively and over doing it to such an extent she smells like wet cat a lot and is damp to the touch at times. She'll even snap out of a sleep, give herself a bunch of licks then drop right back to sleep as if she hasn't awoken.

He vet is aware of this and we have decided to give her some time as this behavior has piggy backed another medical problem.

In the past i have had friends who gave their cats Rescue Remedy in small, increasing increments for about a week when getting them ready for a car trip. The cats were calm and traveled well but i am not in touch with these people any longer for advice.

I have decided to try this for my cat for her compulsion but am in the dark as to how much to start with, how to increase, the duration and how much i can expose her to over time.

She weighs 6 pounds 7 ounces and has no kidney or liver problems. She doesn't do this out of uncleanliness, fleas, pain or itching. In fact, if i put my hand, finger or arm over the area she is grooming she'll just clean me and be satisfied with that.

My concern is that it is in an alcohol suspension and she is so skinny at the moment. There is another brand w/o alcohol but it does not seem to have the effectiveness of RR. The strength of the herbs is a question as well.

Thanks so much for any advise or help you might be able to give me.
