To be quite honest I'll probably end up buying ground bone-in organs and Alnutrin for bone-in meats. So much simpler and a lot easier. I'm all about quick and easy :D
Question: With Alnutrin do I need to add anything else? It says I can add salmon oil but do I need to?
Also how much water...
Momma cat's kittens were born June 16, 2014. They are already starting to move around a little and starting to open their eyes.
We are fostering mom and kittens. Momma is extremely thin, about 4.8 pounds as of yesterday (6//23/14). She is a smallish cat anyway, but I fear to touch her as she...
The HT grinds include heart, and Dr. Pierson's recipe does not, so are the feline-nutrition.org supplement quantities more suitable for the HT grinds? Also, does one cup of water per pound of meat/skin/bones/liver/heart sound about right?

We'll start with it out of the tub, and may move it in if mom appears to be having problems.
@StefanZ the kitten was abandoned at night (just one day after birth) - when no one was at the shelter at all - and was just an inch away from death upon discovery in the morning. The kitten was humanely euthanized as nothing could have been done to save him/her.

A pregnant stray mother cat came in to our local animal shelter not that long ago.
When she arrived she was at a healthy weight, and she has since given birth in the shelter. She gave birth to six, but kicked one out of the nest. She is now down to five 1 week old kittens.
The kittens appear...
