Andi asked:

She is on medication now, and Royal Canin High Fiber Diet, (canned food). She will eat really well for a few days and then go off her diet, I don’t know if she needs a change or what?
Her medications are Cisipride ( I hope the spelling is correct) and she is on Lactulose as well. She is 16 yrs of age, and we have had all of her senior bloodwork done, which is all fine.

What would your recommendation be for a sustainable diet for a 4 year old cat with gall bladder operation? Basically the gall bladder function has been removed from the system and now food passes directly in to the stomach and intestines.

What would your recommendation be for the above?

I recently discovered how awful processed food is to feed to a cat. I am interested in starting my cat on a raw food diet. I need some suggestions and or recipes to get started. I live in an urban environment and I am personally opposed to grinding meat. Can anyone help?

My cat isn’t all that fat, but she’s getting there. She’s to scared to go outside, so she doesn’t get much exercise. Any suggestions for a healthy diet?

auntienanny230 asked:

My cat was recently put on Purina UR for struvite crystals in his urine. I think, and all my research says a super premium or premium canned cat food would be just as good or better than the veterinary Rx diet. I want to ask the vet if he/she thinks it would be alright.

Anything’s possible… asked:

I have two adult male cats one of which weighs about 15lbs and the other weighs about 9lbs. I would like my “Fat Cat” to lose about 5lbs however both of my cats are fed from the same food dish at the same time of day. Does anyone know how I can put one cat on a diet without putting my other cat on a diet as well?

jcab82 asked:


My cat is about 2 years old, and used to be so gorgeous and hyper and all over the place. Since I got her fixed, she lays around and just eats, all day long. I had her on a diet until I moved in with my current roommate. I was feeding her one cup a day and she was doing well, loosing weight. But now my roommate’s cats are 13 and 14 years old, and they’re underweight. I can not find a way to limit her eating, and I can’t put her on a weight control formula because of the other cats. Any ideas?

What are some natural remedies and diet tips for my cat’s kidney disease?

earthling asked:


My cat, 6 yrs old, could possibly have kidney failure (it might be a bladder infection but I won’t find out for another 2 weeks after antibiotics); he’s still energetic and doesn’t show any signs of illness. Ironically I have kidney disease as well and am using natural remedies like dandelion root tea and other herbs. Wheatgrass has also improved my health a lot. I am wondering these herbs would apply to cats as well?

Does anyone have any suggestions for diet (should it be homemade)? I’ve been doing research and they all say low salt, but some sites say good high quality protein while others say low protein. And should I stop using the chemical Frontline (flea medicine) on my cat?

Also, where on my cat are his kidneys located?

Thanks!

Lisa asked:

The closest place to buy the EVO is like, 30 miles away, yet science diet is right here in town. How would you compare the two? Is science diet just as good? When I’ve had cat problems in the past, science diet has always been the cure all. Do you think its as good as EVO? Or will it be a good balanced diet for my kitten ?
