Did the IBD/malabsorption go into remission?

I agree. It's so hard to get raw here. I see people who want raw buying the dried raw infused. Pet Supermarket advertises Nature's Instinct but the local store only carries the dog food. I thought about buying that and adding taurine but I don't know if that would do it.

I saw that your baby also has CKD. For CKD methylcobalamin may be safer than cynocobalamin. You can get it from Stokes compounding pharmacy in NJ with a Rx. 1000mcg per ml is a kitty dose.

My cat eats cooked beef and I give him Epakitin to help control phosphorus with his CKD. Just a thought. Do your research on it and see if you think it would help.

Thank you. Yes the TCfeline special formula is still available. My fur son was diagnosed with CKD two years ago. He was 1.9 creatinine in March 2015 and the vet said go to wet food. I was already transitioning him to wet. In July he was 2.4 creatinine and I looked into stem cell therapy Thank...

That is a good observation. Don't write off butter if your cat is lactose intolerant because butter has little in it unlike milk. Fortunately my cat is not lactose intolerant. He has pancreatitis and while people and dogs need to limit fat cats are not affected by some fat in the diet.

I read that coconut oil is bad for cats. OK for dogs but cats aren't supposed to have it. I use Nordic Naturals Omega for Pets for Omega 3s

What is the recipe for homemade cat food for kidney disease with butter? My cat needs more fat in his diet and is not lactose intolerant.

No I didn't see that it was about human supplements. I have been researching that supplement for my cat.

Thank you for checking. I still haven't gotten a reply from the holistic vet. His office is closed today and many places are closing tomorrow and Friday as we prepare for possible hit by hurricane Irma.

What curcumin is safe and effective for cats? My vet said tumeric might be good. I researched and found curcumin and also that there is a big problem of it not being very bio available. Further research and found pepperdine or tumeric essential oils are added to increase bioavailability. I...

The vet said that enzymes would be good to help reduce the load on the pancreas. Where did you read that enzymes were not good for pancreatitis? He said that either Mercola pet enzymes or The Pet Health and Nutrition Center Digestive brand that I have would be good. Both have probiotics.  I...

First my kitty has CKD. You will see that is you look at all my previous threads/posts. He was on the Renadyl (Azodyl in the human version) and I read that probiotics can kill you if you have acute pancreatitis. I asked the vet and he said he had never heard that but I read and although as I...

I just have the one cat and no he wasn't tested for parasites. I am going to the Animal Hospital this morning to get more cyproheptadine to stimulate his appetite and I will ask about that testing. Do you know the name of the test? They use Anatech (I think that's how it is spelled) labs here. 

I saw your list of cat foods here that don't have carrageenan. I look for food that also doesn't have  ethoxyquin Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and to top it off, because of CKD low phosphorus! It's more than challenging. After finally settling on a couple of...

Did you hear from mschauer? I would appreciate their help also.  I did find some recipes online that I hadn't seen before. I tried a sample of one tonight making 1/4 of the recipe and he didn't eat it but has been off on food a couple of days this week. He only had 331 calories so far in the...
