I know! I'm pretty excited with the results and Hooligan is pretty happy not to wear that cone on his head all day!

HOOLIGAN UPDATE  He is eating venison! I never thought I'd see the day! I'm so excited about this new development I might even try to get Ruby off the damn chicken and onto a different protein (she is just WAY more picky though - ugh). But YAY! Also, his scabs have cleared up REALLY nicely - I...

I really hope this is the answer! I left for work in the morning and Hooligan seemed fine! He ate all his food, used his litterbox and even played with Ruby for a bit.  Really, nothing was very different with him? EDIT: OH! And he seemed EXTRA cuddly last night while my boyfriend and I were...

VET VISIT UPDATE  So, the vet confirmed my suspicions regarding Hooligan's fur loss/scabbing. He was pretty sure it wasn't ticks or mites, and to him, it definitely looked like seasonal allergies (especially this time of year). He gave him a .5ml shot of depo-medrol and said this should clear...

I hope so! We're pretty close to him being alright with it! And only then, I can FINALLY get rid of the horse.  I'll see what the vet says, as you mentioned, I probably won't take the prescription right away and if I do, I will definitely go through my holistic vet first.

HOOLIGAN UPDATE  He's been off chicken for almost 2 weeks now and, though I haven't noticed any new scabs, his head is still a little scabby (especially when he gets his cone off and scratches at it).  It's been 3 days since I've been mixing in some venison (unnoticed!!! ) in his raw meat. So...

This is Probably something I should look into.  Thanks for the advice!

I have decided to track (both online and in a journal) Hooligan's journey into new proteins. I am directing him away from Chicken and Horse, and into Rabbit, Venison and some fishes. I am slowly introducing grass-fed animals into his diet.  He is currently eat ground rabbit (Rabbit muscle meat...

I was JUST about to do that! But my cats aren't ones for treats... Please let me know how it goes! I'd love to hear your first experience!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That Pawalla box looks GREAT!!!! WHOA!

Da Bird looks great! I am trying to get Hooligan to be more of a hunter. The cardboard thing sounds pretty interesting! Ha ha - is it possible to submit a picture of it?

I was just wondering what are some of the toys you guys use with your fur babies, to bring out their instinctual hereditary behavior? I recently bought the Neko Flies wand toy --> (https://www.nekoflies.com/) And Hooligan absolutely LOVES it. Once he catches the life-like "animal" in his...

OH! I've seen this before!  This looks great! And, it would be great to still get him into some different proteins and not have to worry about the bone, liver and all that junk. Thank-you so so much!

Whoa! I just saw this reply now - sorry it has taken so long! I looked into Call of the Wild - and it looks great! Would that be in place of the liver? As opposed to feeding actual liver? Because he absolutely hates it. Does Call of the Wild actually smell like liver? I've tried freeze dried...

If done properly, raw HAS ALL the nutrients they'll ever need.Its easy to start when they are kittens. Look through the threads, there are a lot of start-up newbies to raw!
