Disclaimer: I do not want to start making homemade food for my 19+ yo with CKD. I feed her commercial cat food but need to supplement it with non-chicken baby food meat to maintain a good daily caloric intake. I currently do so with EZ Complete, but I think she is tiring of the chicken liver flavor.
I found instructions for making baby food meat complete with Alnutrin on the Raw Feeding For IBD Cats web site using a calculated conversion to teaspoon measurements, but when consulting with their FB page, I was told that to 'properly' measure Alnutrin with eggshell calcium that I need a scale. The baby food meat is the equivalent of 1 ounce of meat per jar. I will only be preparing one jar at a time. I know I need to add liver, and am currently looking to do so with 100% pure beef freeze dried treats.
My inquiry probably doesn't fit exactly into this forum, but I have asked a semi-related question in the Nutrition forum and one very nice, helpful member was the only one that responded.
Thought I would ask here because maybe someone has something they use/have used that is applicable to my situation, and reliable. I was advised to use a digital spoon, but have read so many reviews that my head is spinning.
EDIT: It was brought to my attention in the response post below, that I wasn't clear in my last paragraph. I did an internet search on digital spoons and the reviews were enough to make me wonder why these spoons would be any more reliable than the teaspoon conversion calculation I had read about.
Thanks.
