I am so sorry to hear about your cat. It is quite rough and sad to get through these first few months after you lost your beloved pets. I am not sure how this would sound to you given cultural differences but in Korea pet owners like to believe that all of their pets who passed away before them...
Not sure how I can edit my previous comment. I want to clarify that the attached
Not sure how I can edit my previous comment but I want to clarify that the attached blood work was done on November 1. The blood work I mentioned above was a separate one done in May.
You are not wasting my time! Not at all. You have shared very useful information and I appreciate that you took time to do so. I am sorry I didn't share more information in my previous answer. I honestly didn't think kidney disease could be a possibility for her so didn't give much thought to...
Ah, yes, the vet ran an SDMA test to rule out kidney disease. The ultrasound also confirmed that her kidneys were normal without any issues. But her blood work did show that she was a bit dehydrated despite me ensuring she drinks 160-180ml of water every day through wet food. She weighs 4.3kg...
Thank you for your reply. Yeah, based on further research, it seems like I probably shouldn't test fenugreek on her. It is in the same family as lentils, peas, and chickpeas and share the same allergens (proteins).
I used to feed her Acana's dry food when she was a stray and unfortunately it...
Hi! I am wondering if there's anyone who has a cat with legume allergy and regularly feeds Rawz pate cans with fenugreek in it.
Based on my research, fenugreek is a legume and may cause cross-reactivity with other legumes such as chickpeas and lentils, both of which my kitty is allergic to.
I...
Thank you so much for sharing this! Yeah, after doing more research on the topic after my initial post, it began to feel like there really isn't a consensus on how much sodium is safe/required for cats, even though a low-sodium diet is recommended for cats with chronic kidney disease and heart...
There seem to be endless questions about figuring out what a healthy diet is for my cats.
Right now, I am wondering about the safe level of daily sodium intake. I found a wet food with healthy ingredients (97% meat, no legumes, grains, gums) but it has quite high sodium level. One large can...
That's a relief to hear that. I guess I was worried that it is even smoother than pate. It's more like a smoothie after I blend it. Maybe there isn't much difference though.
Thank you for your reply and I wish Feeby stay healthy for many years to come!
Hi,
My kitty, Dodahm, only licks her wet food and always leaves quite a bit of food if it is chunky. However, she finishes her food if I blend wet food with a little bit of water.
I am a bit concerned that if feeding her wet food in such a smooth texture would be bad for her digestive system...
Fyi, it is quite rare for her to drink water on her own. So I have to supplement with some other products. I live in Korea and healthy meat-based broth options for pets are quite limited.
Hi
It has been so hard for me to find a healthy wet food my kitty would eat. I have tried 60+ different kinds so far and the only ones she is excited to eat are fish-based and especially tuna. I know that fish-based wet food is not a great choice for cats so I am debating whether I should give...
Oh! Another thing that was very difficult to get my head around was how little water she drinks... I tried a bunch of methods -- different water (tap, purified, bottled, brita filtered), 3 different fountains, powders that are supposed to make her drink more, different sizes of water bowls...
Hmmm... It's a prescription can and I bought them from legitimate sellers, including ones directly bought from a vet's office. I am a bit puzzled as to why these cans smell like this.
Feeding a cat is hard indeed. I always had dogs since I was young and this is my first time having a cat (it has been seven very wonderful months). I absolutely adore everything about my kitty and she is perfect in almost every way, except for when it comes to food haha.
She is such a picky...
Thank you for the links! I am not entirely sure if these cans I got were after formula change as I don't live in the US and am not sure how long the importing process takes. However, I did notice not only the smell but also the texture of the food seem different. I will contact the manufacturer...
Hi,
I just recently bought a 24-pack hills z/d can, which is what my cat has been eating for the past 6 months. Suddenly she wasn't too excited about it so I smelled it and it smelled different than usual with some metallic smell.
I got worried that the can might have been spoiled so went...
