Has Mika's B-12 levels been checked? Trin has IBD, and he had very low B-12 (it's a separate blood test than the standard one). B-12 helps the body absorb the nutrients in the food, so if she is low in that, maybe she isn't getting enough from the food she eats?
I am not really sure. She did get blood work done but I don't know if they got some for a B-12 test or not. That may have to wait till next month though (darn college student budget). The blood work I know she's doing for sure is her chemistry to see where her liver and bilirubin levels are at. I find out tomorrow what those look like and I'll talk to her about the IBD and B-12 testing.Has Mika's B-12 levels been checked?

We inject Trin monthly with B-12 and it helped him a lot with his diarrhea. His poops are great now!
She actually finished it all in one go! I think it's official that Torties are the steak lovers of the cat community.Whoo! Olive also loves the Rawz Beef Pate ... maybe Torties just like to hunt cows
Thank you for your insight. I’m conflicted about it. My two definitely love fish but I’m too unsure to feed them. It’s nice to know another pet parents thoughts about the subject.I Don't think i said "Misinformation" about feeding fish. I said " Bad information" about feeding too much fish. meaning most places i read say to stay away from too much fish, some go so far as to say no fish. I don't know, i can understand the fear of mercury, and the other contamination. But there is fear with a lot of things we feed. And i have always wondered, why is fish oil so good for them, but fish is not??? And fish is so well loved, and a very good source of protein. I understand the logic behind the reasoning to stay away from a lot of fish, and i do try not to make it the main source of calories for anyone. Just not sure where i really stand on the feed fish, cat food, or dont feed fish, cat food. I never feed fresh or human fish, im not a fish girli don't buy it for me, so cats don't have access
My little white girl has been a kibble cat for years, she will now eat some almo nature salmon and apple for breakfast every day. So, all kibble, or a wet fish meal once a day?
I choose to feed her the salmon and apple for breakfast, i still offer other foods as well, but she will only eat the salmon. So, sorry, i don't really have very clear thoughts on it, i am conflicted. let them eat more dry food, or let them eat more wet food that is fish?
My cats loved the Rawz kibble and it is expensive. My cats are eating Tiki Cat Born Carnivore Chicken & Fish Lau kibble. It's high protein and only 11%carbs. They really like it. On chewy.com you can get an 11.1 pound bag for $44.00. Check it out.
Did you calculate the difference between Rawz kibbles and cheaper wet foods first to make sure you are really saving a lot of money?
