A movie, Pet FOOleD, 1 hour 10 minutes, was out this past January (2017). It is not a hype-based movie, it just takes a look, through the eyes of two holistic veterinarians, at the problems with regulation in the pet food industry. The bottom line is that pet food is being manufactured and...
...except our indoor cats are not experienced hunters, and feeding live mice is just cruel, for the most part. Mice raised as feeder mice are killed humanely.
Yes, you can still give bone-in meals. Just treat meals made with EZcomplete as you would any other completely balanced food. To balance the bone-in meals, you'll need to feed at least a few meals of meat with a small bit of organ and a dash of egg yolk to balance those bone-in meals. :)
I don't think anyone will be surprised if it turns out to be coccidia. I've treated coccidia in kittens with a yeast-based probiotic called Saccharomyces boulardii. It is a very close cousin of brewer's yeast, and one of the most researched probiotic strains in the world, used in hospitals to...
Oh Rigel NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On no, oh I am so so so SO sorry! My heart goes out to all of you. It is such a terrible pain.
He shares this day with our Sheldon, who crossed last year. I'm sure Shel is there to great him, Rigel, and show him the way. :rbheart::rbheart::rbheart...
I realize quite a bit of this thread is about pain management in arthritis. But for helping to manage the arthritis, as if we can reduce the inflammation, then the need for pain management is lessened, I shared my experiences in using omega 3s and a standardized curcumin product - which has...
Please talk to your vet about using these three things:
The krill oil (the dose we use and see wonderful benefit as I'll relate shortly here is 500mg 2x a day, and that is for our 7 lb cat and our 14lb cat. Typically, dose is not weight dependent, rather small animal vs large animal (big dogs)...
Lisa, if you want just a bacterial probiotic with no additives, high quality, and a good selection of strains, Renew Life is an excellent choice, the Renew Life Ultimate Flora, 15bn CFU.
But for IBD, it really helps to include an S boulardii probiotic. Renew Life has one... there are two...
Ok, I'm bawling. :bawling: Oh Pip.... :heart2:
Oh my, Lauren, what a lovely tribute to your little soldier! :soldier: (I think that smiley was designed just for him!) I don't remember seeing kitten pictures of him, and wow wow WOW what an adorable baby!
I know his loss had a big impact on...
A pilot study conducted by Dr. Conway (DVM) found that "processed pet food" (though what that is, is not defined in this interview by Dr. Becker of Dr. Conway) contains high levels of advanced glycation end products (AGE). Dr. Conway explained that the preliminary study, in which she looked at...
He was, Tricia, he was!
I know it was his time, we're not second-guessing that decision, but my goodness the crying is just crazy. He was SUCH a good boy - about everything. He oversaw the introduction of 15 more cats - and goodness knows how many fosters those first few years. :rub: What a...
Diagnosed the end of July, 2011, Lazlo was given four weeks to live without treatment. He went into remission - and stayed there. :) :heart2:
But Lazlo's story has drawn to a close. On December 7, 2015, Lazlo was called home. It wasn't a return of that cancer. We don't know what it was. He died...
