GREAT NEWS! Just wanted to come back and give an update on the result! Sorry that I took this long, I just wanted to make sure if everything would be fine after a couple of weeks of only raw food. Long story short: I made the food, got the percentages of bone and meat all figured out (around...

Okay, that makes sense. I'll do that. She's been on her prescription food for a few months, so I think any amount of crystals should have been gone by now. Thank you again, you've no idea how much I appreciate the help and input :) I'll come back with the hopefully good news!

It is very strange, and quite frustrating as well. But honestly, I'm just 'hoping' that it was me that got something wrong, maybe she didn't get enough water when switched to steamed chicken? Unfortunately (again), I can't find any brand of canned food that I can at least trust for a little bit...

To be completely honest, I cannot remember how much bone I removed, or any at all! Really sorry. I have a bad memory, especially from 2 years ago, and I didn't know much English at that time either so let's say that there is a high chance that I got the bone percentage completely wrong. We live...

Ohh okay, so this is quite different with what I was thinking of doing (removing 20% of the bones), good thing I asked! Thank you so much for this, take your time with the consulting :)

Hey thank you for the input! Unfortunately, I don't have access to any kind of premade mix or anything like that, not only that, I'm soon not going to have access to any kind of prescription canned food either because of the political situation my country is in. They just aren't being imported...

So I have to delay the making of the food a little until after the holidays are over in my country, to be able to get fresher meat and also to make sure my vet is available. In the meanwhile, I have another stupid and embarrassing question to ask! Can anyone please tell me how to exactly get 7%...

@kittyluv387 That chart is quite interesting! So according to that, you are right, there is more phosphorus in bone than in meat, and much more calcium in bone than in meat. With the fat in the chicken thighs, I guess I'm a little less concerned about the phosphorus amount now. :) Thank you for...

Oh, okay I was thinking " bone = calcium, meat = phosphorus. " according to this. So, correct me if I'm wrong, but by lowering the bone to 7% then I'm lowering the phosphorus amount too anyway, right? No need to use eggshell powder? I also plan to use chicken thighs, which has fat.

Yes, I remember adding extra water to the raw food, so I'm not so sure if the water is the issue here... Is it possible that the ash content was the issue? I mean, if water intake is not the problem, and she does not need DL-Methionine to be well (since RC Urinary Care does not have it), then...

Hey! Thank you so much for the posts. So apparently around 7% to 10% bone content is the 'normal' range, but how can I be sure that even that is not too much? I guess in other words: what are the consequences of feeding her too much bone that she needs? Only constipation? I'm a little too...

Hello There, A little warning: I don't speak English very well so please, bear with me if you can. :) If you don't want to read the long post, please skip to the last part! I have a 4 and half-year-old girl, Ardeshir, that I'd give my everything for. I'm here to ask for help/tips in making...
