Hi guys, Skype is almost 2 years old now and has been to the vet once each year like clockwork every august for GI blockages or gas. for some extra background he is my first cat, I've only ever had dogs, and anything that looks even a lil suspicious..like random diarrhea freaks me out. We found out he likes to snack my dogs food sometimes and gets stopped up and will stop eating for a day, which is when I take him in.
His last visit to the vet was just gas, and I found out he has some minor swelling in his gums, and his breath has gotten a lil funky over the last month or so. He's on a Sensitive stomach Purina pro plan, and has recently not been too crazy about it. I think another family member giving him turkey slices every morning has a lot to do with that last part.
Anyways, aside all that, I've been reading about a raw diet for cats, and am considering freeze dried for now, since I don't want to do all the mental gymnastics of sourcing a homemade raw diet right now, though I absolutely won't mind getting some raw treats from a local butcher if its beneficial.
I guess my question is how did you start introducing raw to your Creatures? any things to look out for? and does a raw diet usually help the things I'm currently dealing with? what was the trial process like to see if your cat even tolerated it?
