Has anyone used powdered egg whites to reduce the phosphorous ratio for a cat with mild kidney issues (slightly high creatinine, still very early stage kidney disease)? My cat is still a dry food addict and I'm working on transitioning her to all wet, then hopefully home made. I've tried adding mashed up pieces of egg white (from my breakfast fried egg, nice and buttery) to her wet food, but she eats around them. Would powdered egg whites be easier to sneak into her food? Any other suggestions for diluting the phosphorous in commercial food?
Is it something that has to be done every meal, or can I alternate between low phosphorous and "standard" commercial phosphorous level? She doesn't eat if I put any kind of powders on her dry food, and she's at about half wet, half dry.
And am I understanding correctly that bones are high phosphorous, and that to reduce phosphorous in home made food I'd replace some/all of the bones with eggshell?
