Howdy everyone,
I'm still in the process of uploading some nice photos of my kittens - we've had computer issues, so as soon as that's resolved, I'll make sure to get some nice photos up.
I'm currently finishing up the second round of raw feeding for my kittens, both of which are now 5-6 months young. Mars was transitioned too quickly, and Juno seems to be enjoying it without any issues.
Does anyone here have any warning sings of an imbalanced raw diet? Perhaps you started feeding but had to stop due to certain issues developing, or the kitties rejecting the food? I have most of the positive signs on my kittens - extra energy, nice plush fur, natural weight maintenance etc., - but I cannot seem to shake the bad breath and the iffy stools. Traditionally, the stools are supposed to be tan-ish and rock hard, and that's not the complete case here for either kitten. One is getting mostly EVO at the moment, and the other is full-raw.
I am using the catnutrition.org recipe with a few minor modification - I bought extra turkey hearts to make up for some of the taurine loss, and to substitute for simple muscle meats/bits.
The ultimate goal is to provide a higher standard of living for the kitties, so I would hate to be hurting them unknowingly.
