This is great info. S & C said they added to meet the AAFCO reccommendations required of commercial foods. We dont know if this large hard tumor is a goiter. His thyroid levels are within normal range. Only his WBC is elevated.

There is such conflicting info on this. There is only one cat food recipe online that includes an iodine supplement (lire salt w/ iodine) I just consulted Stella and Chewy, a commercial raw food manufacturer. They said raw meat is a natural source of iodine.

Just got the blood work back. Thyroid levels fine. WBC elevated. No definitive diagnosis for the lump in his neck! Watch for changes in lump.

Hahaha. I spent months researching my recipe in every raw fed site there is. I was sure about my recipe. Until, yesterday when Dr guessed the kump we found may be a goiter.....or cancer. We will know more today after results ofvblood work. He's been on it for nearly five years, it saved his...

Doctor will let me know tomorrow if its cancer or goiter. She believes he should be eating a scientifically formulated kibble. And if he needs wet food just add water.

Oh no, I'm sick if lack of iodine has caused a goiter in him. Can it be reversed?

That was supposed to be, " I would appreciate any input and resources."

I have been feeding my cat a raw food based on the 80-10-10- rule for about 4 years. He seems to have been doing very well. It saved his life as he was suffering from cystitis. I add no supplement to his diet except nutritional yeast which he loves and it seems to keep the fleas away. In...

Took him to the vet today $84 later: throwing up hairballs is normal, sometimes with the intensity poop wil come out too.  He is healthy.  They gave me some hairball ointment and for the sake of prevention because he is an outdoor cat dewormed him.   So, the thing is, I should give him some...

Mine is very polite at the vet's and the groomers.  I have to take him to a groomer to have his nails clipped.  He is a monster when I do time and just lays there at the groomers. We use the exact same nail trimmers.  Go figure.  I have not taken him to the vet yet.  The hairball and poop...

Silver Persian... Oh my I had a male silver Persian and a female white who whose pedigree was 75% silver.  She was a gorgeous brat.  He was a sweet gentleman.  Both gorgeous. But this guy, my gray tuxedo rescue, oh my gosh, no way to know what he could be getting into outside.   He has been so...

Yes, that is how I ended up feeding him this diet.  Took him in for the symptoms he had before.  What I was hoping to get here if anyone else has experienced those symptoms with a cat on raw.   Maybe not is not even food related.   It is at the point now where, I feel it is a concern.  I am...

Thank you Lisa. I thoroughly resesrched all those sites and more before developing the recipe I give him. I am seeking help from any of you who may have experience feeding raw rather than the vet who knows very little about cat nutrition and only subscribes symptom relievers. When he is...

The recipe is: 10 lbs ground turkey meat 2 lbs ground turkey necks 2 lbs chicken hearts 1 lb chicken liver sprinkle of nutritional yeast on each meal. He is 12 lbs.  Flea free.  He eats about 8 oz a day. He is an outdoor cat and prefers to go outdoors. When he is locked inside for a few...

My cat has been eating a home made raw for about two years.  It has made a big difference in his health and he no longer has bladder issues.  However, in the last year  I find hair balls or a meal on the carpet and also he is pooping on the crapet instead of his box.        sometimes very firm...
