Thank you Dr. Jean for your timely response. ... yes I use Bach's Rescue Pet and take some drops and dilute in a bottle of distilled water and spray in areas where she tends to be. The label says not to administer orally but put in drinking water bowl, but she doesn't drink from a bowl.
She...
Thank you Dr. Jean ... yes, my little kitty likes to play vigorously with me and on her own, with zoomies now and then. She was active yesterday and today
I gave her 1/4 tsp of coconut oil this afternoon; she seemed to like it, but I felt that 1/4 tsp was all she could take in per sitting. She...
Thanks Dr. Jeff for this information. Before my kitty's second meal of the day we spent some time on the balcony to get some fresh air, hoping this would help with balancing her energy.
When coming back in, she did eat half her meal in one sitting, and then walked away from her food plate...
She was seen by her primary vet on August 12 and I had a stool sample tested, which was negative. Is there a way of having access to homeopathic services directly through Holistic Action?
My 17-week old kitten has not been eating as much lately and for the past 2 days and today (3 days in a row), has not gained any weight. I used to work from home but now have to go to the office in the morning ... not sure if this is contributing to her reduced food intake ... she appears happy...
Thank you Dr. Jeff for your speedy response. Bodhi ate more over an hour ago and finished her lunch just now ... though I'm wondering what could possibly have caused the foaming at the mouth ... any insights would be greatly appreciated...although I realize it can be hard to tell...
About an hour ago, I found my 3-month old kitten foaming at the mouth after having vomited clear liquid, with a couple of grass litter granules, a piece of what I think is some paper towel swallowed last Saturday (about 1.5 square inch eaten up back then) and a bit of fur. Not sure why this...
From a reply to another message posted earlier this month, Dr. Jean Hofve said "Just to catch up, manganese *can* be hard to balance in a raw diet."
Could you please let me know if you would advise on adding a bit of manganese (water soluble mineral) supplement to my kitten's commercial raw...
Thank you for this tip...but I'm not familiar with what "structured water" is. Could you please share the instructions as to how to prepare structured water? And then the idea is to blend fresh chicken or turkey from the local market and store in a jar of structured water in the fridge overnight...
Thank you so much Dr. Jeff for your great advice...it is so reassuring to know such wonderful guidance is so close at hand.
Update 2:
- great appetite this morning but gave morning meal later than usual since finished last evening's meal so late
- however, appetite was off at lunch time, she...
Update: it's now 11:47 pm. I have been playing a cat video on YouTube with 528 Hz Healing Music, including cat purring sounds ... and my kitten got the zoomies again and then drank 15 ml of tuna water about half an hour ago ... and now she is eating her raw chicken dinner!
11:51 pm ... she ate...
Excellent appetite this morning but ate nothing at lunchtime. Napped until about 7 pm and I fed tuna water, and my kitten drank about 20 ml. Then about 15 min later put a bit of food in bowl with 1/64 tsp of colostrum. Didn't want it but was able to hand feed. Went outside on the balcony for...
I need guidance, my 12-week old kitten is not wanting to eat at all at lunchtime. I've been giving goat kefir in the morning, 1 teaspoon before breakfast since last Sunday, along with a raw diet, still giving 1/8 tsp of probiotics morning and evening, and has had excellent appetite until all of...
I would really appreciate getting clarity about Vitamin E. The food manufacturer from where I get my kitten's commercial raw food recommends adding fresh fish oil to the food when serving it. Two sources I have come across say that when adding fish oil, it is important to supplement with Vitamin...
Thank you so much Ginny ... I really need and appreciate all of this community support. About leftovers, this is very reassuring...that it was not a bad thing to leave the food out like I did. And yes, that's a great idea, I can pick out some of the pieces of bone and leave them out.
Thank you for sharing. Come to think of it, I left out my kitten's food bowl with raw chicken longer than I should have. This past Thursday, at dinner time, only half was eaten after leaving it out for 5-10 minutes. As I was putting it away, I thought of leaving it out for another 5-10 minutes...
Update: I now realize it would be best to discontinue the slippery elm. I started again adding this herb to food bowl as of Thursday evening, and the last two bowel movements were only 12 hours apart ... this time the stools were darker in color, still dry and crumbly but not as crumbly as...
Thanks for the input but I am not in a capacity to handle a homemade diet. So it would be great if one of the veterinarians on this forum could please let me know a way around softening my kitten's stools...that would be so very much appreciated
