Glad Simple Green helped.
She shouldn't need any further baths now, so maybe she will relax. I don't know where the "pros" are but I would suggest holding off on remedies for now. She had the one dose of Petroleum, if she begins to show problems it might be best to prescribe on the symptoms she presents rather than repeat Petr.
A day late but if you find yourself having to bathe difficult kitty customers in the future......one way that was successful for me with a very hard to bathe (but very much in need of daily baths) epileptic cat was to slowly submerge (easy does it) him in warm water up to his neck in one of those tall white recycle type buckets, holding him by the scruff of the neck. Sounds terrible, I know. But he would seize and do horrid damage to himself and me if not held this way. He could keep his front feet on the rim for security. It left one hand free to soap him. I'd wait for a quite a while before even trying to do any "washing" and let the warm water lull him before any attempts to soap him. When done with soaping, would pick him up by the scruff and ease him into another big bucket of warm water to rinse...sometimes even another! (Understand, this cat couldn't be touched anywhere on his body without causing seizures, so the scruff was the safest method for us both!) It was the sound of the water running that drove him insane, so we avoided it this way. He grew to love those baths.
