Chynna needs a diet low in phosphorus. She absolutely refuses to eat that k/d Feline. I tried both textures, and she absolutely hates it. She gives it a sniff or two and just walks away and won't even touch it. I've tried putting some on her paw and she will wash her paw, but she won't eat the food!!
I know there are phosphorus binders, and I plan on asking the vet about those.
But I also understand that there are commercial foods available in the stores that are considered "low phosphorus" and acceptable for cats with renal problems.
I have been looking at the following links:
http://webpages.charter.net/katkarma/canned.htm
http://www.geocities.com/jmpeerson/CanFoodOld.html
My confusion is what is considered "low phosphorus"? One of those links lists phosphrous by percentage, and the other lists milligrams.
Exactly how many mg is considered "low phosphorus?"
I am thinking that I want to go a low phosphrous store bought food, with a phosphorus binder, because Chynna historically has liked Friskies and Fancy Feast. But since she had her dental surgery she's become Miss Picky and won't eat the grilled Fancy Feast anymore so I want to try some of the Pate style, or even a completely different brand. But I have no clue what percentage or the milligrams to look for on the labels.
