So, today I learned my kitten has renal agenesis(fancytalk for missing a kidney. She was my vet's first experience with it and he's been at it for twenty years, lucky me winning the jackpot). A simple spay turned into a 2 1/2 hour exploratory surgery with x-rays, and now I have one very uphappy, very stoned kitty with a very slightly enlarged kidney.
I want to switch her to a lower phosphorus diet, as right now she's on a premade 80/10/10 grind. What I'm wondering is A) how much eggshell does a cat generally eat per day and B) if I decide to use TCFeline, what is everyone's opinion of the ingredients therein? I haven't researched this sort of thing because well, who thinks their cat has a super rare birth defect. I'm looking at the premix because she can be fussy and I have not tried a home-made diet yet because finding secreting organs has been a PITA, so this would be a possible backup if that falls through. Any input is greatly appreciated.
Here's the premix list of stuff
Ingredients: whey protein isolate, calcium carbonate, taurine, freeze- dried krill, Xanthan gum (natural thickener),Vitamin B complex with Methylcobalamin (B12), Vitamin E, Vitamin D3, Vitamin A (Retinol)
