What did you stumble on.....We've had pretty good luck with Swanson Egg Yolk Lecithin. It has worked wonders for hairball control for our kitties, but didn't help Buddy at all re: his then chronic constipation issues (we later stumbled upon something else for that).
It was purely by accident, but we started giving Buddy a teaspoon of Young Again LID Zero Mature after his twice daily meds and supplements, and his poop went from hard dry pellets like something from the Petrified Forest National Park, to totally normal. Perhaps it's the guar gum in it. *shrugs*What did you stumble on.....
I love these, I'd had no idea such a thing actually existed, and accidentally found them one day in a restaurant supply.I use the smidgen, pinch, dash spoons which are 1/32, 1/16, and 1/8 tsp, respectively.
They are amazing for Krista’s sensitive pooper. As I expected, the first day of 1 smidgen per can (so about 1 smidgen and a half per day) gave her a softer bonus poop. Nothing alarming or insurmountable. I’m sure it will firm up over the next day or two from acclimation alone.I love these, I'd had no idea such a thing actually existed, and accidentally found them one day in a restaurant supply.
Not to hijack the thread but I have something of a similar problem - my boy doesn't get hungry enough either, I think. (I've been having troubles finding food other than one particular brand that he'll eat). We're getting there, but I'm still paranoid about him losing weight at (an otherwise healthy) nearly 14 years old.I don’t let her get hungry enough to move the hair on through
IMHO, the choline is at least as important as the lecithin because cats' motility declines with age. Our cats are only six but our vet has been warning us about this for years! (And it is only in the last couple of years that Edwina has started to collect more fur to gack up... our cats love to prove Dr. Kris right on anything related to digestion!) I'll gladly take the biotin benefits, too, thanks.Egg yolk also contains choline for peristalsis and biotin for hair strength.
