Hello, As I mentioned in another forum, my 6 1/2 yr. old cat, Timothy, has been diagnosed with probable IBD. I prefer to try and get him stabilized using holistic products (currently adding Vitality Science products to his food) rather then the steroid advocated by the vet with the aim of...

Hello all, Haven't been able to visit in a long while, but thought I might be able to find out more info on IBD from others and perhaps to pass on my own experiences with trying a holistic approach. :wavey: My 6 1/2 yr. baby boy, Timothy, was recently diagnosed with probable IBD. I prefer to...

He is 5 years old and had always been quite healthy. He dropped from 12.4 lbs. in March to a lb. less a few months later. He'd been on raw food (I make myself) since October of last but fell off the BARF wagon in late spring and has been eating quality canned food since. He is insane for...

Don't know if this is the best forum for this question but here goes - Finally, finally getting new bedroom furniture for hubby and I. Bedroom currently has bare hardwood floor. We've decided to put a large area rug down. The new bed is higher making the additional space underneath the bed even...

Eliza and Tim have been on raw since last September and I thought everything was going really well. They had their first checkup at the vet's since their diet change and I brought to the doctor's attention the occasional appearance of red bumps and a slight puffiness around Eliza's eyes. Just...

Me again .... Eliza and TimTim have been wholly on raw since October. They're doing great! However, in the last several weeks, Timothy has developed loose stools. He doesn't appear to be ill in any way and he and his sister normally are eatng the exact same thing. Is it possible Tim's system...

Hello, Haven't been on for a while. Lots to catch up on! But question first ... I use the recipe from catinfo for my kitties. It requires that 20 - 25% of the bone per 3 lbs. thighs be discarded. Since I principally use chicken and turkey and my grinder does not like the ginormous turkey thigh...

Please help me decide if I should put rabbit on the menu for my E & T. I'd like to provide them with a little more variety beyond poultry. Rabbit is my only other practical choice but I hesitate ... does it really taste like chicken? Timothy is still transitioning and has made his contempt for...

So, Day 12 of Eliza being completely on raw. There's been no bowels from hell or hair ball hurling. YAY!! Day 12 of TimTim's transitioning. I'd cautiously say he's about 50% converted. Problem is I only make their food using chicken or turkey and he's never been the passionate poultry lover his...

Hello, My male, Timothy, is about 50% transitioned to raw. He is a big cat, currently weighing 13.6 lbs. My vet thinks he ought to lose a pound or two and I tend to agree. (In fact the middle-age weight creep I observed in him is one of the reasons I switched to raw.) But I'm confused about...

Hello everyone! Any other raw food newbies? My female, Eliza, previously preferred eating things like straw, cardboard and dead bugs rather than the quality commercial food I left in her bowl, took to it immediately. Her twice-as-big brother, Timothy, usually not as picky, doesn't quite know...

Hello, brand new and posting my first.... When my big baby boy Timothy is blissed out at being cuddled, talked to, whatever, I've been noticing that in addition to purring, squeezing his eyes, etc. he also tends to curl his tail around his body.  Most of the time it's straight with just the tip...
