Hi all! Wanted to check with the cat community on Zyklene tablets. We've recently introduced a puppy into our home, and it's apparent that my cat is stressed out (she's urinating everywhere). Medical problems have been ruled out by the vet. I've been trying different things to remedy the...

My cat is on Answers raw chicken. I'm also concerned about varying proteins in Pinky's diet. It's really hard to get raw cat food in my area, as most pet food stores cater to dogs. Answers only sells raw chicken and beef, and Pinky did not do well on beef. My only other option for protein...

@LisaMarie12 Yes, the gums in Mauri were very worrisome to me also. I'm going to try to add a bit of Nature's Variety to Pinky's dinner tonight, and see how she does. I'm also interested in Tiki Cat's carnivore line. I'll have to see if my pet food store has in stock. What do you have your...

After about 3 weeks of being completely off of Mauri, Pinky seems completely fine (she had developed some sort of urinary problem). I won't be feeding her Mauri again, but want to find other canned foods to add variety to her raw diet. Someone mentioned Nature's Variety Instinct. It seems a bit...

The discharge is cream colored, not quite yellow. The vet didn't mention anal gland issues. The discharge is around the vulva.

@Josiegirl other than the discharge and excessive licking, I haven't observed any other abnormal behaviors. She has been getting pretty dirty all around her bottom when she poops (she's longhaired), and I thought that might have something to do with it, but the vet said it was too rare for...

The vet suspected UTI, and gave her antibiotics without the urinalysis because they couldn't get urine from her. They didn't give her pain meds. There has not been any blood in her urine at all, and she's been urinating daily. I've seen discharge and excessive licking.

Ok, I've stopped giving the Mauri. Pinky has been on amoxicillin for 2 days now, and her UTI symptoms aren't much better. This UTI has really scared me. I hate to see Pinky suffer.

I noticed in earlier posts that you calculated the percentage of carbs in the Mauri kangaroo. I just tried calculating the carbs in the venison using the guidelines from Dr. Pierson, and came up at 18% (calorie percentage). I'm not actually sure if I did my math correctly, but I know that's way...

@JosiegirlYes, Pinky is being treated for the UTI. She's been on Answers raw chicken formula, which she usually inhales, but now is more hesitant because she is expecting kangaroo or venison. I started adding Mauri to add variety and because her diarrhea didn't return. I'm concerned that feeding...

@Josiegirl Pinky was on a high fiber prescription diet prior to December. I switched her to 100% raw, and started adding canned (Mauri) to her diet last week for variety. I had also been giving her 1 tablespoon of pure pumpkin daily. I've stopped the pumpkin because Mauri has pumpkin in it...

@chalupa thanks!

@chalupa I'll try to figure out what caused the UTI. Pinky has eaten Mauri for less than a week, and I noticed the UTI symptoms two days ago. The vet couldn't really tell me the cause, as they couldn't get a urine sample from Pinky today. Also, Pinky had been on the raw only for two months and...

@chalupa I'll defintely grab a couple cans of Weruva next time I'm at the store.

@chalupa thank you for the insight. I will continue to monitor Pinky. I'm feeding her one can of Mauri in the mornings. I have a few cans of Nature's Variety, but have been hesitant to try it because Pinky has had a history of digestive problems. She has tolerated raw and Mauri pretty well.
