Ouch, I just called the Nutrition Service | School of Veterinary Medicine & just for them to talk with me I have to fax over paperwork from me & the vet has to fax paperwork as well, not a big deal. But for this fax & them to even look at the paperwork is $400.00 plus the cost my vet will charge...
Thank you this info is helpful. I plan on pricing out a phone consult with a nutritionist today but it might be harder then I thought to get this info due to the info I have to have & getting a vet to talk with them on the phone before they will even speak with me. but again this does help.
Yes, I have read this as well & I'm happy to see someone else speaking of it ;)
I'm just having a hard time putting all of this together & figuring out the 40 60% formula.
During my research, I found a vet many vets who are now saying higher protein than the 20% offered in the medicated food is better. zero carbs, low phosphorus, powder-like ground bone (easier on kidneys) I'm following the Dr. Lisa Pierson advice and research, and yes I need nutritional...

Hello again,
As some of you may remember my princess Smokie stopped eating after a food change & developed Hepatic Lipidosis. She had to have a feeding tube put in place in hopes of helping her recover from her illness (E-Tube). We battled for months trying to get her to eat on her own & soon...
Thank you for your kind reply. I have to admit after a few days of know reply's I had all but given up on this website. I figured either people did not have first hand knowledge of this situation or maybe they felt I was a troll looking for a handout. Either way I remember what it was like...
I have had some success in finding a food most of my cats will eat ( 6 out of 7 ). But the one cat I was worried about, well that's another story. I tried all of the suggestions without any success. Things started to go down hill very fast & I had to start force feeding every meal by 11/01/14...
Some of my cats (3) are eating less then 1/4 of what they should be eating, but when this happens I do take steps to make sure they get a feeding. Even if I have to syringe feed them. Like I've said before all of my cats have had checkups since this has started & all 7 are in great health. They...
Thank you everyone for your replies. To answer some of your questions, I have not given any dry food in the last 6 months. I have tried the commercial raw food diets with absolutely no luck. I have also tried all of the wellness flavors and they just turned their nose up to it and walk away...
Hello, My name is Kimber
I am writing to anyone & everyone to see if I can come up with new ideas or maybe someone has an answer to my BIG problem. I was going to do a raw diet but right now with 7 cats I am not able to afford it. I was at least stopping the dry food & trying to change to a...
