Hi everyone,
I figured some of you may have some tips here. My cat has chronic pancreatitis and IBD. At this point, the food that has been safe for him has been duck (he has a reaction to chicken, tuna, turkey, and I think rabbit as well).
He has been on the Rawz LID duck for a while, but sometimes he does get a bit sick of things. When that happens, I can sometimes entice him to eat by sprinkling some crushed treat on top (I use the Orijen freeze-dried duck for dogs -- it's just duck and duck liver so it's safe for cats too). But that doesn't always work (even though he still likes the treats by themselves lol).*
I'm looking for tips for making his food more enticing, but with the caveat that I can only stick to duck as a protein for now at least, so I can't just add tuna juice or something lol.
*also worth mentioning that eating issues come up for him when he has a pancreatitis flare-up, and he gets treatment for that when it happens. But he kind of has a trifecta of food issues: being particular about the taste; sometimes having flare-ups that result in hesitancy to eat; and having a bunch of intolerances. In this post, I'm looking in particular for tips to address the taste part, because if I can at least attack that problem, it would make things a little less complicated at least lol.
