    Not a dumb question! There is plenty of magnesium in meat, but no calcium. This product is intended to balance pure meat.

    Cat eats hair ties/scrunchies (PICA)

    Well for sure start with Rescue Remedy or other flower essences such as Welcoming Change or Stress Stopper. EFT can also be very helpful.

    Cat eats hair ties/scrunchies (PICA)

    Hair ties are irresistible to many cats. They smell like mom and have yummy oils on them. Eating them is a bad habit but also a "crime of opportunity." All hair ties and any other things like that--thread, yarn, rubber bands, twisties--must always be picked up and put away in an inaccessible...

    You could up the meat by about 30 grams and be balanced. Are you adding fiber/prebiotic and probiotics? There is none in this product. Not all cats need it, but yours might benefit. Also try adding a little bit of warm water to the food right before feeding.

    Feeding rabbit to a kitten - Taurine - how much to give?

    Bettina, the convention of commas and periods in decimals is different in Europe and America. This I also don't understand, but I know that 0.1 g is 1/10 of a gram in U.S. notation. :)

    Seriously, decimals? Fractions? With my numerophobia, I would never have figured that out in a million years! Thanks Dr. Jeff!

    Live on a Medical Medium lifestyle and want to follow his advice for my cats too

    I do not know what a "reputable source for chicken" could possibly be at this point. Major growers are being exposed as irresponsible about biosecurity. Outdoor "pasture" or regenerative grazing flocks are at high risk because of their exposure to wild birds. Backyard flocks are at extremely...

    You keep asking me math questions. :oops: I. Do. Not. Do. Math. You'll have to figure that out yourself.

    Yes, all cats need 80-100 mg per day.

    Premix for raw food for cats

    Like I said, I don't do math, but they have people who do, so that sounds fine,

    Feeding rabbit to a kitten - Taurine - how much to give?

    Then use 200 gm taurine to be safe. You can't overdose it.

    Okay sounds good! It will work no matter when you start it. :)

    She should have been, or now should be, on probiotics every day for several weeks to compensate for the antibiotics. The Solid Gold product is a probiotic but not a great one. It doesn't contain a good prebiotic to feed the bacteria. I don't recommend seaweed products for cats due to the high...
