Yes we have an organic deli here that makes a blend particularly for animals. It makes it a lot easier. Didn't know they made it frozen also. That's great.
Actually this isn't true. At least not in the US and Europe. All pet foods sold in the US must meet AAFCO recommendations for nutritional adequacy unless they are labelled for supplemental feeding only. In Europe it is the FEDIAF recommendations that must be followed. The recommendations include an amount of calcium required to meet the animals needs. If you look at any pet food product label you will find a calcium source listed.
I wasn't aware of this but calcium is one ingredient that is not in most of your foods for animals and vitamins
Hello, My cat also has OI and she is 13 years old. She is having problems with being impacted, due to the shrinking of her pelvic bones. She's on lactulose medicine every 8 hours, it's helping slowly but surely. She has two divots in her spine that cause some paralysis in her back legs, she drags her legs for a few steps once she gets up from laying down, but once they are aligned she is running all over the place. She does limit herself, and of course the apartment is stair stepped so she doesn't have to jump down. She's a happy little girl ! She'll be in diapers soon due to the impacted intestines and until she can regain more control of her bladder. Praying for Redd. How is your little baby doing these days.Hello! I would like to know if anyone else out there has a cat with OI. I currently have one, Redd. She is being treated by a homeopathic vet and is doing quite well.
Thank you for the response. I was happy to find some good information here even if it is years old. I figured it's worth checking here. He is young and strong, so putting him down without trying just doesn't make sense right now. We of course don't want him to be suffering either so we will just do our best by him. Thanks again for the kind words.Hi S SaraV , I'm sorry about your little cat Toby. This sounds like an awful condition, and I'm glad it's so rare. He's lucky that he ended up with a caring owner willing to help him. Because it's so rare I don't know how many members will have had personal experience with the condition, but you never know, and I do hope you get some ideas here.
