Well, I just got the report back and the lab results showed no trace of itraconazole in her system, despite her being on it twice a day for months.  They're switching her to fluconazole, 50 mg twice daily, so we'll see how that goes.  I did call the compound pharmacy to find out if they were...

I'm sorry for the late reply.  Sporonox (itraconazole) should be used at least 4-6 months, but the internal medicine specialist I saw said the few he's seen with histo actually had to be on it for life.  That wouldn't surprise me as fungus is a pain to completely eliminate.  I wanted to post...

I know this is an older thread, but if the OP or weemomma are still around, I would like to revive it.  I have a kitty that is likely going to be diagnosed with histo and we are just waiting on the blood/urine results to confirm it.  Her x-ray shows a pattern consistent with histo though, so we...

I will have to look to see if there is a smaller krill oil cap I could pill them with. One of mine doesn't mind it so I wouldn't have to pill her. And yes, I think I will skip the egg yolk for a bit to see how that goes. And maybe just try giving it separately or with some plain meat baby...

Gosh, sorry that post is all compacted together. I had several paragraphs with supplements broken out, but for some reason it threw everything into one large paragraph. Also, my smiley options are gone. Is there a problem with the forum?

It's funny you ask about calcium supplements because that is the one thing that seems to be giving me the most trouble right now. I have both MCHA and eggshell, but MCHA tends to be too much for them to want to eat their PMR well and for some reason some of my eggshell has a weird smell and one...

Here is a pic of her taken Friday morning, when she was at her worst and in obvious pain.  I took it to show my vet how she was hunched up all morning like this and I'm glad I did because she was running around at the vet like nothing was wrong.  Tonight she's outside in the enclosure "chasing"...

She only had diarrhea once and it was on Saturday night, after she'd been eating plain cooked chicken all day, so it was probably that then. Later tonight I'll post a pic of how she looked when she was really sick. Perhaps it was a stomach virus. I just hope and pray Allie doesn't get it now...

Thanks Laurie!  I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have you around to always encourage me and give me such wonderful advice and information!    And yes, after I posted this I found the thread on Boo and just chimed in a little there also.   My vet didn't point out the bone, but I will...

Thanks for posting about this!  I'm sorry I didn't see it before I just posted about my cat, but I just wanted to say that it helps to know this has happened to others and I'm not totally screwing things up.    Since my cat is doing well on the S&C freeze dried raw while she recovers from her...

I began feeding my two 100% raw January 1st.  All had been going very well until about a week ago.  I had noticed one of my two cats slowly needing more and more toppers to eat any of her raw, unless it was plain meat only (no calcium supp).  Well, Thursday night I got home and realized she had...

Thanks LDG!  If you find your references for mice/birds, please do share.  Right now I'm just adding an extra 1-1.5 ounces of meat to their daily meals to minimize the bone in the ground.  I'm not terribly concerned with the Ca:P ratio while I'm in this transition to frankenprey phase, just more...

Actually, My Pet Carnivore does have this statement, but it's the same general statement for all of their ground whole items: "The average prey animal has about 10% to 15% bone, about 10% organs, and the rest muscle and fat and connective tissue.  That is Mother Nature's model and therefore our...

Thanks!  This is a great list from Rodent Pro, and useful, but unfortunately it doesn't list the % of bone in the whole prey, eviscerated or otherwise.  I'm really just looking for more of an average, as I'm sure it will vary from company to company slightly.  I figured if Hare Today or My Pet...

I have searched everywhere for this and can't find it, so I apologize if it's buried in another post somewhere.  I couldn't even find it on a google search and I'm usually good about finding these things! Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone knows what the average percentage of bone is in various...

Both of my girls are beef lovers as well.  They also go for it like it's the best thing ever, and with all other raw will only eat it with toppers.   The odd thing is, I have one that vomited pure lamb twice, but ate a full 2 ounces of plain/lean/organic raw stew meat (beef) and had no issues...

It's really strange because one of mine violently threw up the lamb a couple of times, but ate a ton of pure beef and was fine.  I'll now only give her 25-50% lamb at one time mixed with a lighter protein like chicken.  She does okay with that.   cheryllib - I'm currently feeding about half my...

Welcome back Feralv! Although I was gone much, much longer than you before I posted this topic.    Thanks for your input as well.  I'm starting to believe my two will never eat any ground without toppers, but they are loving chunked up plain meat on it's own.    I guess that means I'll...
