Thank you. They used to eat this when I lived in Australia but haven't been able to find this since I moved.

Hello, I recently changed food for my cats from an expensive brand to a less expensive brand. I have tried to still get quality - for example no filler, grains, additives etc. This food change has been gradual but coincided with one of them throwing up dark brown sludge with a small hairball in...

Hi everyone, I live in England and have two cats who have both had inflammatory conditions in the past including colitis and because of that I can’t feed them any food including gums, fillers etc. For the last 3 years they have been eating ziwi chicken food and been doing extremely well. But...

I got it from a few sites on a quick Google. It seemed like a lot to me too. Thanks for the info about how much water is in wet food. Makes it clearer how much moisture is in their food.

Hi all, since I switched both my cats to wet/raw, neither of them ever drink from a water bowl. On dry food, I would regularly see them lapping. I know that means they’re getting a lot of moisture from food but I don’t think that’s enough. I know that both my cats are around 4kg so they need...

At the end of last year my cat was diagnosed with a heart murmur and the vet did an echo and she was found to be in very very early stage HCM heart disease but there was no reduction in the size of the heart chamber. No medication was required as it was so early and I was told to check again in...

I find it’s the same in human medicine as it is veterinary medicine. No one knows anything about nutrition and just want to throw unnecessary tests at you and pills. From my experiences over the last few years with medical conditions my husband has, no one wants to find the root cause of things...

I thought I would update this thread in case anyone else goes through something similar. I thought that things were improving on the slippery elm. They were for about a day or two and then she started deteriorating as the week went on. She started vomiting again and being lethargic and her...

I don’t want to speak too soon as she has only been taking the slippery elm for 24 hours but it seems to be helping so far. I would love to know the reason behind this weird swallowing though. just to understand how the slippery elm would be helping. But I’m saying that I will take any...

thanks for your reply. Her food bowl is raised to head height and she does eat quickly but I mash her food into a paste and spread out across the whole bowl.

Hi everyone, I last posted about my cat back in January when I took her to the vet for a teeth cleaning (No teeth removed). She returned home very distressed to my other cat hissing and growling at her and she acted as if her mouth was in pain. She stopped eating on her own for two days and I...

Thanks all for your advice. Her name is Mittens but we call her Mitty. I live in Australia so all our eggs are salmonella free so that’s not a worry. Interesting you recommend small amounts of egg every day. she fully transitioned a day ago. Regarding the IBD, she has an ultrasound and there...

Hi all, I switched my cat to raw diet and been slowly transitioning over the last month. Since doing this she has been having a fair amount of hairballs maybe once a week. This is more than she used to have. It is summer where I am and extremely hot so there is a lot of loose hair. I read this...

Hi all, wondering if anyone has experience with this food?? A vet prescribed it to my cat about 6 weeks ago after she had diarrhoea and looking at the ingredients I can’t see anything wrong with it. The reviews seem very good and it’s supposed to support healthy digestion and stools. However...

The whole of yesterday I had to hand feed her. I have no idea why she suddenly decided she wouldn’t eat out of a bowl. I will definitely try the paper plate because she would only eat from my hand, a tiled floor or on a small towel. She’s such a weirdo. she has perked up a bit and ate about 75%...
