Thanks mrsgreenjeens, your thorough answer is much appreciated. I will increase the SEB syrup to 1/4 tsp and will go back 5 meals a day, at least for now. Not really a big deal when I'm here, the mid day meal would go frozen in the feeder, it's more of a problem when I'm out of town because...

mrsgreenjeens: SEB has helped but I have to increase it: I started with 1/8 tsp of straight powder on midnight meal and lunch; now it's 1/4 tsp of syrup on 3 meals; I will increase to 1/2 tsp of syrup 3-4 times a day until it has reduced at least. Is it better to give less per day but straight...

I am so so sorry mrsgreenjeens, mrs abid, LTS3 for not answering your question, I didn't see your posts. My mailer told me about Haycat's so I answered to hers only.  mrsgreenjeens, yes, my local Pet Food Express allows me to bring back any food, open or sealed. I don't want to abuse this...

Hi Haycat!  I am so sorry for the delay, I had 2 threads going on at the same time and wrongly thought I had answered to your post...  Yes, I do feed him the probiotics and digestive enzymes. I am not sure they are the best though, as it is a mix (NaturVet), and there very little probiotics in...

Thanks for sharing your experience with me. It's all about patience, isn't it... Lizzi, I felt so bad reading your story, people like you (along with mrsgreenjeens and many others on this forum) deserve a medal for putting up with so much. Selfishly, part of me felt better: my dude isn't...

Hi Haycat!   Your experience with raw lamb is very interesting. I am hoping it will be the same for us with RadCat turkey. I can see the difference in his stools: dry to chalky stool = Primal rabbit; darker less crumbly to actually partly soft stool = RadCat turkey and that is with 0.5 oz once...

I didn't know there was a difference. Most of the time, it's yellowish clear froth. He has vomited quite often for the past week, each time, it was like that, with some fur (but he passes a lot of it in his stool) and some pieces of bones (no pieces in his stools which are partly chalky white so...

My local Pet Food Express recommended that I buy the NaturVet Digestive Enzymes + probiotics. Now, I'm not sure this is the best because there's not too much probiotics in it. Next time, I will likely buy probiotics such as Mercola's (14 strains, I think this one of the most complete) and...

I read that a cat's stomach should be empty 6 to 8 hours after after a meal. He vomits bile only (along with ground bones now that he's on Primal Rabbit), no food, after 5 hours, sometimes 4, as you said, it's unusual. I'm trying to help the stomach acid with SEB. But could it also be that he's...

Hi Denice, Thanks for your answer. I already feed him 5 times a day. I can do 6 but it's a bit more complicated. I bought him the Feed&Go though to help through the day, and I'd put frozen cubes in it but it's plastic, which I'm not fond of. Would Slippery Elm Bark have the same effect as...

Hi!  I can't say that my cat has extreme hairball issues but he has some. From what I read over the past few days, some members should be able to help (LDG, for example). Have you read this thread already? http://www.thecatsite.com/t/250653/egg-lecithin-for-hairballs When you say nothing seems...

Hi all, Why would a cat vomit bile (yellow and foamy and now, ground bones from Primal rabbit) after only a few hours (usually after 5 but sometimes 4) after a meal? I have fed him 5 times a day to reduce the effect but it still happens now that he's been on a much healthier food. We started...

Hi mrsgreenjeens, Right now I am thinking of sticking to raw but I was considering to include Tiki Cat Puka Puka Luau in the rotation at some point. I am new to the forum so I thought that food rotation would fall into the nutrition category. f you think I might get some advice on the raw...

Hi Beesto, I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone in the frustration wagon. Not that it helps with your specific issue but I'm sure there are dozens of people like us who want to do their best for their feline buddies and most of us are reading this forum as well as other website...

When we adopted our cat from the Humane Society, the paperwork said he had URI that they treated. From 2009 to 2012, he never showed any sign. Then he went to the clinic and either from stress or another sick cat, he got a very bad cold. That's when I learned about Lysine. I now have a bag of...
