    Making cooked cat food

    I was wondering why there aren't many threads on making cooked cat foods, I recently read "The Whole Pet Diet" by Andi Brown, forward by Richard Pitcairn. I then started making the chicken stew for my girl who won't eat raw. It is simple to make, is cheaper then a good canned, and my girl...

    Giving meds to cats suck!

    I forgot to mention, others things that might have made the process easier was I pilled them when they were really hungry, and I made them exercise beforehand. I thought maybe the hunt would get them ready to swallow big chunks of gelatin.

    Need advice about Ronidazole PLEASE!!

    You might consider giving Baycox in case he has coccidia, you only have to give it once and it kills the parasite. I put my 2 kittens who had coccidia on albon for 28 days which didn't work so I then tried baycox. The first two times I tried it at the recommended dose didn't work so I doubled...

    Giving meds to cats suck!

    I recently had to give baycox to my cats, which is a liquid med that my cats absolutely hated. I decided to put the liquid in pills and it worked great. What helped was I fed them a bit of food with gravy prior to pilling and I coated the pill in gravy. After the second or third pill even my...

    How many times do cats usually go poop a day?

    My 4 cats that are on raw only poop once every two to three days, and they are mostly small, dry poops without much odor.

    giving small capsules

    I found giving them a bit of food with gravy seems to coat their throat and gets them ready to swallow a pill. I also coat the pill in the gravy or butter.

    how to administer the drug properly

    I found putting the liquid into a pill and then quickly covering it in butter and pilling them works the best. It does sometimes take 3 or 4 pills.

    Still have some questions about CountryPet

    I fed it to my cats for a bit, they didn't like it too much. They prefer Nature's Variety Raw and their favorite is homemade raw. When I was feeding it, I kept two in the refrigerator, one defrosted and one defrosting. To serve, I'd just pull down the plastic a bit, cut up how much they'd eat...
