Hi everyone!
My cats have been on raw for a few weeks now and I buy my meat from Hare Today: both the chicken mix and rabbit mix with organs and bones and add my own supplements (eggs, taurine, vitamin E, B, Fish Oil lite salt and psyllium husk powder). I'm finding one of my cats (who has had GI issues in the past with loose stools) is passing bloody stool that is dry. I haven't witness him using the litter box, just the aftermath since he leaves it uncovered for me to see.
I like ordering from HT, I'm not willing to buy a grinder and do the whole nine yards for myself so I wanted to ask how I could modify the HT meat to get less bone? Or should I add extra supplements for the cat to help pass stool easier? Extra psyllium husk?
Would buying the regular 5lb tube of ground chicken/bones/organs and then adding HT's plain ground chicken work?
I looked up going bone-free by adding calcium or eggshell powder but I don't know if I'm comfortable with that.
I also add extra water to their bowls to try and keep them as hydrated as possible. This poor cat is the only one who seems to be having trouble.
Any help is appreciated, thank you!
