Not sure if this is the right forum...this is my first time posting anything.
I just adopted an older (7-10 yrs) cat the day after Christmas. I just found out she has CHF, not sure of the cause. I do have a follow up with my vet and will ask some more questions. Sapphire is on furosemide right now - she also has an enlarged heart and grade 3 heart murmur.
I would like to make her food myself - I did order Alnutrin w/eggshell and have been playing around with their calculator - any suggestions on how to get the sodium % between 0.2 - 0.3?
I also actually have the NRC requirement numbers...but even using the usda database and entering the info in Cronometer.com...the sodium level is still almost 1.5 times what the requirement is...
