No, my vet didn't recommend anything, it's just my preference in order to avoid future issues since all he would eat would be this. I don't do food rotation (he has a sensitive stomach because of the C. Perf and to some degree because of his skin allergies), so hence why I focused on whether...

Yeah, none of these are sold where I live unfortunately! I'd have to special-order... :sigh: So, fruit, yeah. I'm trying to stay away from them, but I have to admit, I am less concerned about fruit than I am about fish and starchy carbs. I can tolerate leafy greens, but I don't know, bananas...

That's the ultimate problem, I can never find more than two canned foods that meets all the requirements. I wish! I'm really trying to keep if fish-free, potato-pea-free and fruit-free AND have a high enough kcal :crazy:

Yeah, that's what I thought. So if those numbers are right, 1.6% would be the highest I could go (while he's still young) and even then, I think I would stress a bit that I'm flirting with potential disaster. I just wrote to Rawz and asked if they can send me their actual numbers. Fingers...

So, I have a one year old male cat that had an outbreak of Clostridium Perfingens during the summer and has been successfully treated using a treatment dosage of S. Boulardii, and then an ongoing maintenance dosage of it to steer clear of the bacteria. All this without resorting to antibiotics...

So, I'm reviving this thread to give a quick update and ask another question! We ended up switching him to Hill's ZD as much as I'm into the ingredients. The technician at the clinic said the hydrolyzed chicken liver in ZD isn't really recognizable since it's been chopped up so small over and...

Gizmobius - this is very intriguing! I often wondered about that actually. And my vet has confirmed that the fact that the early morning stool is always mostly well-formed is that his system just had more time to form it... How much are you feeding him now in ounces? And if it's 5 hours apart...

Yes, I thought about Instinct, the ingredient list is very interesting, but the cans around here go for 3.79$ each! That comes out to 260$ a month after taxes... kinda crazy when all you're feeding is canned. Rayne's isn't far behind though, they're 3.27$, so... Hence why I'm wondering if I...

My kitty is almost 10 months old and he’s had some digestive issues since he was around 4 months old. Trying to find the cause is driving me bonkers, so I thought I’d see if anyone over here has any other clues. Long story long, he had roundworms when we got him as a rescue at 8 weeks old. 6...

Soooo... looks like I spoke too soon. He was doing great all day until suddenly this afternoon, boom, another episode of treating his tail as a complete stranger and running away from it. Trying to figure out what could've triggered it this time... Right now, I'm just trying to work out what...

Hey thanks for the input. He's finally almost back to his old self this morning, yay!!! You have no idea how happy I am. He still has 3 doses of pain killers left, which I'll finish up, but basically this taught me that tons of things can trigger him into having a REALLY bad episode. I really...

Thanks for all the input, it’s much appreciated! I guess we all feel sort of the same about kibbles and dental “treats”. I will definitely try to brush his teeth a few times per week, although I’m very skeptical about it. He is SUCH a drama queen when we try to trim his nails or give him his...

Hi all. Just went to the vet for an episode related to hyperesthesia and pain (wrote another thread about this) and the vet I consulted noticed during the routine check-up that my 8 month-old already had tartar buildup and even a small gingivitis that was starting. She was really shocked to...

My kitty has always been a little bit of a lovely weirdo, stopping halfway in a play session to lick his back neurotically for a few seconds or suddenly stop running at full speed to casually lick his paw and then carry on running. He’s also always been very afraid of "strangers" entering our...

We mostly play with string toys, or sometimes balls, but he'll run a good couple of minutes after the string - up and down the bed 10 times and jump real high each time - that sort of play ;) And then right after, it's sneeze sneeze sneeze, with the mouth a bit opened, very weird. But he seems...

Hi all, been trying to figure out whether I should take my kitten in to see the vet or not over an issue I've noticed has been recurring every time we play and he runs for a few minutes. He starts to sneeze heavily, like he's having some sort of fit, and it usually lasts a good two minutes. He...

Yeah, it's not the first time I get 'petsplained' by a pet store worker and the information they spew out is usually so distorted! @orange&white good to know you managed a zero kibble kitten diet! It's definitely my goal too :) And yes, @Neo_23 someone else mentioned constipation. I haven't...

Great, thanks for both your comments! Yes, ProGut has both prebiotics and probiotics, so I'll definitely keep giving him that. I actually called the store where I buy my Whole Earth cans to see whether they carry the kitten version out of curiosity and ended up getting into an argument with...

Thanks for the reply:) He eats the Whole Earth real chicken paté actually (only that), but wow, I didn't know there was a kitten version. It seems slightly better even, no peas - but it has locust bean gum and xantham gum - could those be any good though? I could try switching over to Merrick's...

So, the mucus and blood seems to be gone for now, but, his stools are still not perfect. He has days when he has zero diarrhea and produces nice-looking stools, and then bam, diarrhea in the evening or the next morning. And so on... Someone suggested I stop feeding him the wet food and try out...
