i know this is a bit out of the topic - but do any of you cat people out there have contacts to Santa Fe, NM? I'm looking for a cat sitter in Santa Fe, who's a true cat person and will be on top of the demands of their raw diet.
shot in the dark, but it's amazing how hard it is to find this, so...
It was straight pumpkin, which I've often used successfully for diarrhea. Interesting it helps either way.
And despite my discomfort with miralax, because propylene glycol being 'foreign to the body is a toxin', I went ahead and got some today, because I couldn't get ahold of guar gum to try...
Oh i know, it's so much to take in! And strangely, I had read that and f dismissed it/forgot it because I have only one cat that needs to lose weight and one that doesn't, so I'd decided to just give her less. I thought when I read that other person's comment that they were saying Dr. Pierson...
Thank you again! I seem to have missed that part completely, about removing the skin (50%). Mind pointing me to that in her site? Just wondering how i missed it.
You've been very helpful. I appreciate it.
I'm following Dr. Pierson's recipe for homemade cat food using chicken thighs. I notice she says to count calories not just ounces, and gives alot of info on canned cat food as to calories per oz, but nowhere mentions how many calories per oz. her recipe is. No disrespect. She's done an...
Hi,
I know, it's stressful. I've been giving my cats wet food along with raw, until I can get a meat grinder and do the raw myself. For now, it's commercial raw and wet, and i have a cat who almost always pees just once a day, but it's a giant clump.
While I think it's fine, I can't tell you...
Is anyone using Dr. Pierson's recipe for partially cooked homemade cat food? I see that she cooks it some so she can leave it out "longer", but I don't see anywhere, how long it's safe to leave out. I also saw that "free-feeds", but maybe that was back when she was doing wet food. I couldn't tell.
My cat's neck and chest were greasy. I put her on a raw food diet, and it's going away! She's suddenly very perky, too. And no stink to the poop. Can't say anything bad about this switch in diet. And can say plenty bad about the dry food (for sensitive stomach and skin, no less - gave her...
Just reread your post and saw it's not usual to find just one clump. But that it happens at all even after the transition period, gives me hope that we just need to get over this hump and then it won't be the norm.
They were going regularly on the other diet. It's the transition to raw/wet that's had them not going like they used to. I was a little off with the 4 days. More like 72 hours. Since Delilah's pooped daily since then, and Roo did yesterday, I'm thinking if she goes today or tomorrow, I can...
Thank you so much for replying. I was waiting to go to bed to see if Roo would pee, or if someone would write, so thanks.
No, they're not interested in their water fountain, pretty much ever since I started the wet diet 4 days ago. I'm going to try mixing some water in to their food from now...
Hi,
I just started my two cats, Delilah and Roo, on a mostly raw diet (store bought for now - getting the grinder out of the box tomorrow). I've been supplementing with some wet food to make it more appealing, since they're used to a little wet and the rest, Science Diet dry kibble (which...
