    What ultimately cured your cat's C Perfringens overgrowth?

    Some other options for increasing the fiber in your cats food are things like this probiotic. It has three different soluble fiber sources in it, along with the S Boulardii and probiotics.

    What ultimately cured your cat's C Perfringens overgrowth?

    One of my cats had a C Perf. overgrowth with the alpha toxin last year. I was giving him Jarrow S Boulardii for a couple months and then switched to Renew Life S Boulardii after finding out the Jarrow has tapioca starch in it. Cosmos didn't have diarrhea at all, instead the C Perf. was causing...

    Can Grass-fed meat and organs create a Vitamin A imbalance

    You can also check the usda food database to get an idea of how much vitamin A beef liver has in it. It doesn't have a separate entry for grass fed liver, but at least you'll have a solid idea of the amount instead of it being a complete mystery. FoodData Central (usda.gov) You can also compare...

    Vital Essentials freeze dried raw

    No problem! They sold duck frames as RMB’s for dogs at TC. I don’t know if they still do, but that’s how I saw what they were. Thanks for sharing Vital Essentials answer. It’s pretty unsatisfactory imo. You asked a specific question and they gave a vague response. They didn’t actually say what...

    Vital Essentials freeze dried raw

    Thank you for asking them! I'm very suspicious of companies with food since I've seen many of them selling raw food that they claim is balanced or claim is the whole animal, but when you read the ingredients, they very clearly aren't. Thats why I like that Hare Today specifically lists all of...

    Vital Essentials freeze dried raw

    I haven't looked into Wysong, but Vital Essentials isn't the entire animal. If you read the ingredients, its a combination of muscle meat, bones aren't listed but they're clearly in there, gizzard for ducks, liver and one or two other organs. Some batches such as duck dont even have heart listed...

    Vital Essentials freeze dried raw

    Yeah! I'm glad Hare Today has expanded their freeze dried options, though I wish they used a bit less bones for cats. I really like that their ground rabbit is the entire rabbit with all of the organs, minus the stomach and fur. That's the closest mix I've found that uses more than just liver...

    Blocked male cat/urinary problems.

    Another option for managing stress could be an herbal solution as well. The internal med specialist my cat sees recommended NHV’s Resp-aid for my cat when he was coughing a month ago. That helped and the coughing has stopped. NHV has an herbal product for anxiety too. I haven’t used it, but I...

    Blocked male cat/urinary problems.

    I agree and also stress the importance of getting as much water as possible into your cat. One of my ragdolls has had two blockages as well. The first happened as the result of him refusing to eat, and thus also barely getting any fluids, as he dislikes drinking water. That was before I bought...

    Vital Essentials freeze dried raw

    I wouldn’t feed that food anymore if I were you. Those bones would be okay if they were surrounded by and attached to meat, like a chicken neck. The fleshy meat would protect the cats from any pointy bits of bone. Finding large pieces of naked bone in the food is quite concerning. That’s one of...

    Repeating Rectal Prolapse

    We're back in business with the organic psyllium! Cosmos's prolapses are now resolving in about 40 seconds. :D

    Repeating Rectal Prolapse

    Thanks Sarthur! Does olive oil function as a lubricant for the outside of the poop or does it make it soft as a whole? With Cosmos's prolapse, soft poop isn't what we want since that makes his prolapse stay out longer. Good poops for fast prolapse resolution for him are firm but not dry on the...
