My adoptee from a nearby animal shelter last year has had one problem after another. Her most major problem has been this hairloss and horrific rash on her skin.
I was told by a veterinarian that is was Feline Herpese Dermatitis thus no treatment and she would just look that way. However after...
I do myself but wanted to bring that information to the table for those who weren’t aware :)
I don’t use anything with the word byproduct behind it (except for with my rescue Girl right now which I explained)
Either spell out liver spleen kidney tripe etc or don’t use it period
AAFCO’s definition of “Byproducts”
“Meat by-products is the non-rendered, clean parts, other than meat, derived from slaughtered mammals. It includes, but is not limited to, lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, livers, blood, bone, partially de-fatted low temperature fatty tissue, and stomachs and...
I am a major raw advocate I feed my dogs raw. I would feed my cat montieque raw but he flat out refuses to touch the stuff, to much wet food gives him the runs, so he eats a half dry half wet diet. I rotate dry brands, Fromm, Orijen, Acana, EVO, Natures Variety, Blue Buffalo (rare because it...
Actually
In most cases low quality canned food will have around the same or less amount of carbs than high end dry food.
So nutrient profile wise (not ingredient) low end canned food is the same as the average “high end” dry.
Person above me is right
And the only nutritional difference between a Kitten and adult cat is the amount of calories and fat.
You can feed adult cat food to a Kitten without issues they may just need to eat a little more but not always.
A good brand to try is Nutro if you’re wanting to stay...
Well what stands out to me is the term meat byproducts by products are technically internal organs heart liver Longs spleen etc. but it can also include intestines brain eyes and anything that’s left over from the process of slaughter that isnt necessarily desirable for human consumption...
Have you considered changing the flavor? Personally not many animals I know like venison flavored things kind of weird you think they would but they don’t my Raw fed dogs are even super picky about it.
Maybe consider switching to a white meat as naturally cast eat a half red half white...
Unlike dogs, cats are not opportunistic carnivores, dogs will occasionally eat seasonal vegetation/fruits as a so called snack. Especially if it’s sweet however cats do not possess the ability to taste sweet things.
Also Cats have a strictly carnivores digestive track unlike dogs who are able...
Going to reschedule grooming appointment
She’s fussy and done being messed with for the day and I don’t blame her.
She had a can a food and now has the bedroom to herself.
Took Penelope to the vet today.
Turns out she has a fractured pelvis, not to worry though they heal on their own without any complications 90% of the time and the X-ray showed good healing process already.
Also had her checked for a spay scar she had one, so I’m glad we did before the other...
Orijen is the holy grail of dry of and cat food.
However they only make a dry food for Cats. The company doesn’t make any wet food, however does make freeze dried dog food which when rehydrated turns into a wet food type slurry.
But they don’t make that for Cats.
Primal is another good brand
Hills is garbage any “Vet” food is
Avoid wellness it’s made by diamond
Diamond company has a bad reputation
Natures Variety is a good food but way over priced for what it is
Fromm is a good company but they put to many fruits and veggies into the food for my liking.
My suggestions-
KOHA...
I just recently adopted a special needs kitty. She didn’t pee for 24 hours. Although she eventually peed and is doing both normally now (adopted her Friday) and she came fully “vetted” from the shelter, I’m still taking her in to my vet tomorrow for a full top to bottom.
This is a must for any...
More likely a UTI than a blockage but left untreated a uti can spread to the kidneys and cause a kidney infection (i as a human have had this and it’s awful)
Or repeated uti’s have been linked to crystals which are what cause blockages.
Definitely go get a urine Test done on him.
She pooped and peed again!
Yay!
Yay for proper digestion!
She’s eating GREAT and really settling in well. Right now she’s eating different canned foods and has access to a mixed dry food. It’s a mix of Simply Nourish and Evo.
I’m trying to decide if I want to put her on the wysong natural...
