It has enough nutrients for a sick cat to make it by on. Cats can't go without food and water for long. Especially...

    Virus -- 3 cats lost their appetite

    Instead of water use goats milk. It has natural probiotics that help with many tummy troubles. Some people are able to find it with the regular cow milk I find the canned and powdered kind in the baking aisle. Just follow the directions for mixing with water. Good luck

    How long does it take for Metronidazole to work?

    Try giving goats milk. It has natural probiotics and helps with many belly issues. You can get a condensed can in the baking section (dilute 1:1 with water) there's also a powdered form. I'd start with the canned that's what I do. Good luck

    New kittens and would love advice

    My suggestion for food is to go grain free. I switched my senior cat almost 3 years ago after I did a lot of research when we rescued a newborn kitten. Many cat foods (dry especially) have corn and like 2-3 of the top 5 ingredients. Corn goes right through a cat like it does humans so it's...
