Right? I realized that was the only new thing. He had already eaten the home cooked diet for about a month earlier in the year, and nothing had happened. The paste, however, was new. I think this has been on my mind since the nutritionist included this in an email to me over a week ago:It is worth a try. Sometimes these things are caused by minor, obscure problems like an additive or something that you would not suspect.
Very cute that your parents consider him to be their grandchild.
Definitely will. He used to throw up hairballs once every 4-5 weeks... since he has so much fur and sheds a lot, it was never a concern. Plus he doesn't feel sick from it, he does it and immediately moves on with his life. But when I say he did it twice in one month, what I meant is that he threw up two hairballs in the same week, two days apart. The first one happened about 4 weeks after his last hairball... I started giving him the paste daily on the day of that 2nd hairball and it's never happened again, that was almost 2 months ago. His record before that had been 5 weeks, and we beat it. It works and I won't stop giving it to him - if it ends up being what's causing the skin irritation, then we'll work to find a different formulation.
I brush Topaz pretty much every day too, and he usually starts grooming himself when I do it. It's almost as if he thinks I'm getting him dirty with the brush lol
