Ok, this is probably a very dumb question, but if you are adding any form of calcium to raw meat instead of giving them bones, and you find they are seeming to be constipated, isn't it ok just to NOT add it to one meal per day, or something like that?
I use Call of the Wild for some of their meals, and Alnutrin with Eggshell Powder (with liver to the side) for some of their meals, and I see Darko assuming the position in the litter box with nothing happening. When he was eating Primal, I noticed this happening and would then add in some plain ground turkey to his Primal and all would be well.
So, I'm thinking just skipping adding the calcium to one meal (they get 3 meals per day) would be the same as adding more plain meat to the meal, wouldn't it? I don't mean every single day, I'm thinking maybe every 6th meal or so?
What do you all think? I know I'm not adding too much, because, for instance, the COTW says to add 1 teas for 3 oz, and I usually feed 1.25 oz ish per meal and only add 1/3 teap already, plus I add a little water to his raw meat strips, because I dissolve his EYL and probiotics and the COTW or whatever I'm using in it first before I add the meat and juice because he's picky and doesn't like the powder
. And he DOES get salmon oil for "lubrication"
I guess what I'm asking is isn't it better to just cut down on the calcium rather than resort to using Miralax or something like that? And, BTW, naturally, mine don't like pumpkin
(been there, done that)
