    How to support kitten after spaying surgery

    I'm planning to have my 10-month old kitten spayed in a few weeks. She is still so very active and playful. She loves to go outside of my apartment and run up and down the hallway. Will the surgery lead her to have less energy in her and so no longer inclined to run around as she loves to do...

    Need to know how to stimulate my kitten's appetite

    It seems that her body doesn't like to hold on to fat. I noticed that she would have days when she doesn't eat much, and then followed by days when she eats more and puts on weight. But then she doesn't hold on to the gained pounds because she would eat less again. Several times a day, she begs...

    Need to know how to stimulate my kitten's appetite

    Apparently, she told this gifted animal communicator she prefers raw food and she didn't understand why I had switched her meals to canned food, even the Fancy Feast (McDonald-like junk food that is very palatable). When she is in an eating mood, she always eats the raw food with gusto...

    Need to know how to stimulate my kitten's appetite

    Raw turkey, with bone and organ meats, with some herbs, etc., for a complete and balanced meal: 1,118 (kcal/kg) ... at minimum she eats 100 g per day--this is what she ended up eating today: hand-fed (mid-afternoon) and plopping food in front of her a bit at a time (late evening). Yesterday was...

    Need to know how to stimulate my kitten's appetite

    I keep struggling with getting my kitten, now 8 months old, to eat more. She only weighs 5.5 lbs. Although she is happy and likes to run in the hallway of my apartment building, she is very lean. It would be more reassuring if she could have some fat reserve on her body for those instances where...

    Question about psyllium

    Thanks so much Dr. Jeff for clarifying this for me, it is most reassuring. I'm now giving her the hydrated psyllium with a bit more than equal amount of pumpkin puree, covered up with some lickable treat, after she is done eating...I figured that this way, it won't make her full during meal...

    Question about psyllium

    Thank you Dr. Jeff for this study. My concern is that my kitten is not gaining much weight. At 7 months of age, she weighs about 5.3 lbs. I'm wondering if 2/3 tsp of psyllium per day (new recommendation) would make the food go down her intestinal track too quickly such that she would not be...

    Question about psyllium

    My holistic veterinarian is recommending that I give my 7-month-old kitten about 2/3 tsp of psyllium daily--this is to make sure she empties her bowels daily to make room for next round of food intake as a way to increase her appetite. I am giving her 1/4 tsp of psyllium twice a day. She doesn't...

    Bodhi's appetite: lessons learned and additional guidance needed

    Thank you for your input. The challenge is that Alnutrin, for use with meat that already contains bones, cannot be shipped to Canada; and Feline Instincts that can be shipped to Canada, contains calcium and my kitten already has excess calcium in her system just with the raw food that I give her...

    Bodhi's appetite: lessons learned and additional guidance needed

    I posted a couple of months ago about Bodhi's ingestion of packing paper. Here is a recap: the week after ingesting packing paper, Bodhi's appetite declined more and more and so I brought her for an emergency visit at a local animal hospital where an X-ray showed something in her stomach...

    Need guidance to the extent possible with my 6-month old kitten

    It's about Bodhi again ... we were well on our way to full recovery. She was eating raw food again, and actually taking in 4 raw meals per day, catching up from the reduced appetite she was experiencing the weeks following the ingestion of packing paper...during that time I had fed her Kasiks...

    Major breakthrough with Bodhi's appetite!

    Isn't that amazing?! Bodhi is my little validator of the correctness of my IET practice ... she is proof that it does indeed work :)

    Major breakthrough with Bodhi's appetite!

    Your mentioning "Eckhart Tolle" during our session likely prompt me to remember shortly afterwards the teachings of another spiritual teacher, Steven Thayer, who established Integrated Energy Therapy ... and triggered my breakthrough!! :)
