Question:
Our vet has ok'd me giving Patter some KRM with her food for one meal a day, but I'd like input on how to go about it. Can I just add a bit of powder to her food, or does it need to be at least partly reconstituted?

Hi all!
Does anyone know the suggested dosage for bromelain?
Our vet has ok'd adding a bit of bromelain to Pitter's diet, but isn't familiar enough with it to suggest a dose.
It's mostly for Pitter, but want to add it to Patter's diet as well.
As a digestive aid for both of them and in...
I am going to start adding powdered alfalfa to Pitter's diet and need a starting point as far as dosage.

Patter was diagnosed with epilepsy when she was just over a year old. She's now 6.5yo.
She's only ever had focal seizures, but they began lasting for over a minute and up to 10x a day by the time she was put on meds.
They have been fairly well-controlled since...
Does anyone use a vitamin A supplement in their home-made food? There's so many brands, forms, strengths out there that I'm dizzy.

Haven't been around as much as I'd like - ok - at all. Thought I'd make it up by sharing a Pitter story.
Pitter is grounded for at least one of his lives, possibly more. He also has extra chores to do and must write a 3 page letter of apology to his little sister, Patter, for stressing her so...
Why is Pitter sitting by me with the tip of his tongue sticking out a bit? Have never seen him do this and it's creeping me out. :confused2:

Is it permissible to mention in a post that I also have a post on the Cat SOS forum? Or is that considered to be asking for financial help? My brain is arguing both ways, so I thought I'd ask first! Thanks!
