No, it wasn't, you're right… He's on a slightly controlled phosphorus diet. I guess I'll wait and see with the vet, thank you so much for taking the time!

Oh, that thing exists! Stress leukogram! I've never heard about it! He hasn't been on steroids, no. Ok, the ALT has been constantly high for a couple of years now, but all the vets kept saying that hyperthyroidism was the cause. I should really insist that we explore the liver issue. I can't...

I have to add that he was sedated (he wouldn't let us take a blood sample - he's had way too many blood tests in the past year). I remember reading somewhere that it can interfere with some of the results - although I don't remember which ones...

Yes of course! Are screenshots ok? Many many many thanks!!

Hello! So, I just got the results back of Feloro's post-radioiodine 6 months checkup and there are sooooo many worrisome things! I've made an appointment to talk with the vet on Wednesday, but I'll go crazy waiting… So please bear with me! - The values of reticulocytes, white blood cells, and...

I just saw that she has a bone calculator… Raw Meaty Bone Calculator

Reaching out to get help from a pet nutritionist might be a good idea! The one I'm doing the course is more focused on canine nutrition but you could always ask I guess? It's at the HOME website.

Yes, me too, and also super high protein altogether. It's because all these charts have been made with the ped-food manufacturers in mind, and not for crazy people juggling with feline nutrition, I guess! The protein recommended allowance for my 6kg cat is 16,6g daily, and he gets 31,3g. But...

Actually bone does contain a lot of calcium. It is necessary in any diet because otherwise, we won't be providing enough of it. But it is really difficult to measure in any exact manner how much calcium we're giving with bones… I'm finishing my course soon, and I hope that it will be explained...

That's amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Sorry for the late reply, it was a bit crazy the past few days. Thanks for the links, I'll look into them! I've read a lot about bone broth but I feel unable to do it because of energy costs… A sudden chicken egg allergy? Did it happen just once and then you never attempted to give him egg...

I forgot to tell you, one probiotic to consider (it was used in studies with very promising results) is the SLAB51, commercialized in Europe under the name Sivomixx, I don't know if you can find it generic...

Yes I know! I also struggled to understand at first what this ^ sign is, apparently, it's very common among people who know some basics in maths…Glad that I'm not the only one with none of this basic knowledge! It's the exponentiation symbol, you can find it under the xy key on any calculator...

Yes, you're quite right, there is no consensus about iodine, and the pet food manufacturers have a tendency to go rather on the low end of iodine in their products. It seems however that a regular intake is far more important, I mean by that that it's far more important to give the same dose of...

Hi there, First of all kudos for the amazing care you're providing! I can only suggest one little thing for the overgrooming, you might want to try to add some omega 3 oil (from krill or sardine) to his diet. It helps with any auto-immune diseases in case it is an allergy, and it is also good...

About pork liver: copper may not be bioavailable, so if used, you should also supplement in copper (Eastern oysters are a good source of both zinc and copper). Copper is a trace element, but it is extremely important for a wide range of metabolic functions, as well as for bones, the circulatory...

Hi there! About Iodine, the NRC states that a healthy 4 kg cat needs 350µg/1000kcal iodine. So if you can figure out how much kcal your cat needs daily, you can then also evaluate how much iodine he needs. For example one of my cats needs 220 Kcal daily, and therefore 78,75µg iodine, the other...

Aida and Feloro 15 years together

Oh so so sorry to hear about it… Hold on tight to his memory, he was lived and cared for, sometimes there isn’t mucho more that we can do unfortunately…

Oh I’m on the phone, I’ll give it a try on the computer thanks!👍
