Oops, sorry, I see it now! Your post didn't show up for me until I posted! Still new here... My cat has had poop reactions, not itching. And the vet has no idea why, just suggesting it's due to raw. Anyway, hope to get to the bottom of it, as my own elimination trials have been loose and...

Awesome! Thanks for the reply. I don't see the post? My test kit is arriving this week. Hope to figure out what my cat's body is reacting to!

Still a roller coaster of poops getting better, then worse, even without the GLM. So now I'm trying to see if it's something in the Alnutrin supplement. And I found an intolerance testing company called 5strands, so am waiting to receive and send back the test...

Hi, I just found 5strands, and was considering it to figure out what my cat has been reacting to. How were the results for you, have you had time to try using it as a guide? It seems easier, quicker, and maybe more thorough than doing my own elimination diet!

Nope, the vet only said there is no indication of parasites or kidney disease and assumed it was due to raw of course. I have yet to find a vet that has actual knowledge of a raw diet... I've used less bone since. With too much bone, was your cat having constipation or the runs? I'm happy for...

Thanks for the reply and recommendations! I appreciate it. Yes, I'm wondering if it's IBD. Thankfully, it hasn't been chronic daily diarrhea and there are no other symptoms or behavior changes. She's a realllllly good cat, no plant munching! She has had a fecal exam too. And an even more...

You're always so great at replying, thank you! That's good to know, GLM was going to be the next thing I was going to test eliminating! I actually just found AHMVA for some holistic vets.

Help! I don't understand why within hours she could have a regular poop followed by a smelly patty. I've been trying to figure out for the past few months whether my cat reacts to certain things she ingests or if she has a more serious gastro condition. She's always had raw food until she had...

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. Condolences about your wife. Any type of cooking, even surface-cooking really does add time and effort! I'm hoping my cat will be able to get back to raw soon!

Thanks for the reply, yes. I'm looking to try different foods right now.

Hi, I would appreciate any advice of things I can try. My cat Domino has always eaten raw — commercial which she eventually walked away from, and Hare-Today meat/bone/organ grinds mixed w Alnutrin) for the past 1.5 years. She started to pass soft smelly stool which turned to liquid for awhile...

All the ratios for supplements are based on the raw weight. So even if you cook the protein, the amount of supplement to add is still based on the raw weight. Which has been difficult for me, as I prefer using whole chicken and cooking it whole. I am not deboning it before cooking. So my only...

Thanks for this. It's been a lot of work trying to figure out what is going on and why my cat seems more sensitive now than before. (espicially homemade cooked food, exhausting!) I may start a new thread as it has gotten better, then worse, then better, then worse, etc. I would love to make it...

Thanks, I'm not concerned about my counters. I believe my cat once had a bad reaction to some salmon scales I had given her. I've done it before many times, and it's been fine. But since that reaction, and knowing that along the food supply chain raw protein can be handled differently, I'm more...

I am mainly concerned about any bacteria that might be bad for my cat. I don't mind the counter and areas I can clean up!
