Buddy is having more trouble than usual bouncing back from yet another herpes flare up, but I'm having trouble finding some of the meal replacer/supplement products that I had bookmarked a while back for future reference.
So what *is* available these days?
The Nutri-Cal been a godsend for getting much needed calories into Buddy, but I'm not too keen about all that sugar since Buddy goes through these cycles so often. The CatSure or kitten milk replacer products have come on handy, but they're only about 11-13 calories per tablespoon when reconstituted. And adding pre-mix to a jar of baby food helps to give me some peace of mind that Buddy is getting the vitamins and minerals that he needs, but he absolutely despises the taste, making syringe feedings a bit of an ordeal for both of us.
I just put a package of Oxbow Carnivore Care in my Amazon cart. It looks promising, and as best I can tell, the only downside is that I'm not sure how long it will keep in the fridge between uses. Sometimes Buddy doesn't have another flare up for another month or so.
Any other ideas? *asks hopefully*
