I've been transitioning my 6 cats to a raw diet for the past month, and I'm having a serious issue with one of my cats. Callie, 8 years old, and who suffers from IBD, has been having severe diarrhea for a couple days now. I got some good educational resources from a knowledgeable member on this...

No problem. I've been called worse.    

The IBD you mentioned... Unfortunately, that is something the Callie suffers from (the kitty in my username photo). Callie has a very sensitive stomach, as well as arthritis. She was physically abused for quite a long period before I met her at age 5. She had a plethora of problems, including...

Yes, the rabbit is bone-in meat grind, but from what I had learned (from reading different online sources), I still needed to add nutrients. There are a different types of Alnutrin available, one type specifically says "for bone-in-meat grinds", and that was the one I purchased. If you have any...

No, I haven't been rotating any other proteins. I researched raw diets periodically for about a year prior to actually making the change, and during that time, I found so much conflicting info online that it was a bit intimidating.  I love my cats more than anything in this world, and I want...

Thank you for telling me about this Amnutrin and Hare-Today. I'm actually a little scared now though. I've actually succeeded in transitioning 5 of my 6 cats to their new raw diet, and I just made another 30 pound batch on Tuesday - with the Alnutrin! I have diluted the rabbit (3 parts rabbit, 1...

After many months of research, I decided to start feeding my 6 cats a homemade raw diet. Today is the 7th day of a very gradual transition (we're up to 1/4 raw), and everything is going extremely well for 5 kitties, but Breezy, my 8 year old calico with a tendency to be stubborn, is refusing to...

Thanks for clarifying that, LisaMarie12. I was thinking chicken and eggs were similar somehow. I know you said that you can't feed chicken eggs to your cat, but duck eggs might be an option, and I guess I got confused. Now that you say that they are different proteins, I feel pretty stupid...

Thank you so much for reaffirming what mschauer said in the first response to my question. I have researched this topic as much as I could today (while trying to accomplish a hundred other other things too), and I can't find any supporting evidence about the egg powder causing problems in cats...

Thanks for your reply. I did actually read that egg could cause an IBD cat to become symptomatic, but the source was simply a comment on a different forum, so I wanted to get some more opinions. I'm not sure if it's the egg itself that can supposedly be problematic, or if it's the egg yolk...
