Aren't they cute? :lol3:WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!! Here ya go Sally :scratch:I need/want those little cuties too :lol3: ... pinch, smidgen and drop..... how adorable are those and SO CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the info.
Yup, the cat beef cubes.I THOUGHT I ordered the chicken, but must have hit the wrong button.
hno: I agree, then, a must return ..... Make sure you are wearing your glasses/bifocals when placing order's
And only myself to be mad at about it. :lol3: I'm going to have to dethaw two packages of chicken at time, I think. Given the amount of food and the WL lamb, there's no other option but for the vomit to be Bill's. I think he threw up just because he ate too much and too fast, because that cat has a cast iron stomach. :lol3:
For Spooky !!!!!!!!!!! See, there IS hope. I am SOOOOOOO sad you are sick, sweetie :heart3: :heart2: I hope you get over this quickly.... and I hope the furbabies are treating you well and eating well to make you proud and happy, feeling better :cross: Sounds like a pretty good day overall except for Billy's 
Little piggy - knew momma wasn't watching and he knew it :lol3: AND I am sure Shel and Tux will understand that they need to eat the ground meats for another day or so.... they love you and won't mind one little bit :rub: GET WELL VERY SOON :lovegrin: :balloon: :lovegrin2:
Thanks for the get better thoughts. It's taking longer than I'd hoped. But I am feeling better than I was! So on the upswing here! :bigthumb: Everything went fine! Everyone ate all of it. Except Spooky, who ate none of it. I'm not helping my kitties lose weight by feeding them her leftovers. :anon: I have to start just putting what she won't eat directly into the feral food dish. :lol3: :cross:
But nah - just normal, healthy raw poops - I could actually clearly tell what was old/muscle poop and what was the last meal heart poop
So many calculations... but I am sure once you get it all figured out - things will smooth out and you will be able to serve meals in your sleep I am right along side of you, Laurie, during this process - just so you know :lol3: I also have noticed since adding "fresh organic chicken" to Walden/Wendall's and Perkin's meals - the poop's are not as dry anymore. No more constipation problems with Walden either. I do agree that adding the fresh meat (although with me, that is only chicken :lol3
seems to help with constipation.... I just have to say again and again - the poops in the litter box are SO easy to scoop out now, so much less and no stink 
and my cat's are not all on 100% raw, but I am still reaping the rewards in the litter boxes :bigthumb: Not good being that sick and trying to transition cats to FP all at the same time. Continued 
for a fast recovery :heart3:
WAIT WAIT WAITWell, we'll find out soon enough, right? :lol3: Or in another day or two, anyway. :lol3:
But to address the amount of calcium I'm using. When they were on FT commercial bone-in ground, I was most recently using NV (15% bone - frankenprey target is only 10%) and HT (whole ground prey, but pork - I don't know bone to muscle ratio). A number of my kitties became constipated - Spooky and Lazlo VERY much so. Tuxie and Flowerbelle too (at a minimum). The rest? I can't tell just from looking at the poop whether or not they were constipated or not. :dk: So I added fresh meat meals to the diet - sometimes one or two a day. That seemed to help a lot. :nod:
Right now I'm feeding two types of commercial ground in the morning: Boneless Nature's Menu, and Hare Today pork & duck. So far I've only been giving calcium at one of the two meals a day. This is definitely less than recommended. :nod: I was planning to give less initially - as nutritional deficiencies typically take a long time to develop - because I'd rather err on the side of soft poop than constipated poop (as constipation and related nausea was what put Spooky off of raw altogether, and three weeks later, she's just starting to come back to eating it occasionally).
I'm guessing that I'll end up supplementing calcium in both frankenprey meals they day I serve NM in the morning, and at one meal the day I serve the Hare Today ground bone-in meal in the morning. But we'll just have to see what.... develops.
****************************************************
3/6/12 Tuesday Dinner.
Fresh chicken/beef kidney
Because this morning was NM lamb, and this was an organ meal, I supplemented with calcium.
Lazlo, Tux, and Flowerbelle needed some encouragement to finish, but they ended up eating everything!
Shel got half his chicken first, then half the amount of kidney he's supposed to have, then the rest of his chicken. This worked, and he's kept it all down! Next time kidney comes around, I'll bump the amount of kidney to 75% of the full amount, but I'll still "sandwich" it between the fresh chicken (or whatever meat is part of that meal).. :nod: :cross:
Tomorrow is my organ day and I want to do the same thing
Just more for the meal. :lol3:
Well - at least we cleaned him out. The timing is right to have been the kidney from yesterday.... and potentially because it wasn't balanced with calcium in the later meal? :dk:
Was it an organ only meal? That could cause loose stools.The timing is right to have been the kidney from yesterday.... and potentially because it wasn't balanced with calcium in the later meal?
really seem to be a one time occurrence.... at least it appear to be the case here :cross:
No, it wasn't. The organ meals (liver, kidney) are fed twice a week each, both with fresh meat. The organs are about one-third of the full meal. But this is only the 2nd time he's had kidney, and they're not eating bone-in meals (other than ground Hare Today pork & duck, fed every-other morning). I forgot to add calcium to the late night fresh meat meal. The last time he had kidney, I had just started the transition to frankenprey, and they were still constipated from too much bone in the commercial foods.
WOW Flowerbelle - you go girl - making us all so proud. I think you are doing such a great job in calculating everything out for the FP - sounds a bit tricky in the beginning anyway. I am SO happy that everyone seems to be doing well and finishing up meals. Spooky - well - it seems we all are dealing with that "ONE" who doesn't realize that they are true carnivores :lol3: Hopefully sooner than later - the girls will figure that one out :cross: :lovegrin:
BUT.... little by litte! SO... I individually rolled each piece and put them down one at a time. He ate them all, and a few of Spooky's. :dk: She's skittish... but if we had the space, I think that little girl would want to be inside. :slant:
