Question: Is the gel inside aloe vera toxic to cats or just the outside of the plant? I have given my cats fractionally distilled liquid from aloe vera leaves, at an infant dosage, two teaspoons per day, mixed in their water occasionally. How much aloe is toxic and is any amount ever healing like it is for humans?

Answer: I have seen aloe plant juice used to soothe skin problems such as Miliary Dermatitis (allergic reaction to flea bites) and Cheilitis (inflammation of the lips), so I know it is safe, however I don't know how much is safe. The best advice is the one you will get most often: ask your vet. I would personally use products designed for cats, just to be on the safe side.
