I managed to get a Charlies Follow up sample this morning and I will be on route to the vet for when they open. It still looks dark but nothing like it did. I'm trying to remind myself that his pee will be concentrated first thing in the AM so I don't worry too much.
*fingers are crossed that we come back good in a few days*
After that we'll need prayers as food trial Three million, four hundred and twenty one thousand will probably start.
Sadly yeah all dairy. :-( Good for us! Not so good for kitties.
I have used Parmesan - a little sprinkle - when trying to change charlies food. He seemed to like it but after a few days he'd go back on a hunger strike and that little trick would stop working! *sigh*
What they forget to tell you about adding a probiotic, which, Charlies actually ate - go sort that one out with my picky boy - is that it can give the kitty an upset tummy / diarrhea as the gut changes. That would have been nice to know. LOL I think sometimes vets forget to tell you about this side effects.
Did you get your Kimchi?

Thank you K Kflowers XOXOXOXOHappy dance for your adorable little Charlie.
I see you've found some probiotics in the wilds of Canada. But I did a search for some that are just food and should be legal. There are several sites here's one 8 Greatest Probiotic Foods You Should Be Eating - Dr Axe
foods they mentioned tended toward dairy - yogurt, buttermilk, cottage cheese, cheeses: Gouda, cheddar, Swiss, Parmesan (some of my cats loved these particularly Parmesan, but it's pretty salty); miso which is real salty, pickles the rare cat might like those, but I knew one cat who adored sauerkraut which is also a probiotic. Kimchi is also one, but it contains onions and garlic, which means it's not good for the kit. Now that I remembered it, I want some sooooooo bad.
