I am in the third week of transition. I used to free feed dry, Nature's Variety, freeze dry raw coated and took that away. After that, I just fed them grain free Soulistic. as suggested by Feline Nutrition site, I cut up some raw chicken breast and they ate it. I then bought all the supplements and used a food processor. I have 3 cats. One of them loves the raw, the other 2 so, so. The two so, so's ate a little . I now have bought a food grinder, Tasin, and have been feeding them the ground for a couple of days. I do sprinkle Fortiflora on top and that makes them eat it more.
My BIG concern is that Jojo, lost 1 pound in this this 3 week transition. He is now 8.4 pounds and used to be 9.4. Should I bring back the dry food? I am so confused. He is the reason why I wanted to try the raw food (and knowing it is better for them). He has hypercalcemia which is controlled by medication but I want to take him off of it and see if the raw food stabilizes him (it did for a test cat on the IHC site).
I am confused and at a loss right now as to what to do. I will continue to feed Yeti all raw as he eats it with no problem and still feed Dolly 1/2 grain free canned, but am at a loss if I should still continue to do that with Jojo as he has lost a whole pound so far.
Any input you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
