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...
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...
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...
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...
Thank you so much for the link. I would really appreciate if any of you,

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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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!! :)
I have been struggling with getting my 5-month old kitten to eat. For the past couple of weeks, the more I worried (especially after the packing paper eating incident), the less she would eat. But this even started a bit before then, and it finally dawned on me what was happening.
I would be...
Update: Bodhi has lower energy today but when she woke up a little while ago, I gave her warmed up turkey bone broth by syringe and she was quite okay with that and took in 2 teaspoon ... :)
Thank you Ginny for your input ... I'm following your advice...Today, November 7, Bodhi weighs exactly the same as when I weighed her on October 25 ... But instead of worrying myself to bits, I'm spending more bonding time with her ... Her appetite is continuing to decline for some odd reason...
Bodhi's BEAM: playful, energetic, happy with tail in the air.
It takes a long time to get a homeopath appointment, at least a couple of weeks. The best I can do is an appointment with Dr. Jeff tomorrow...but can he help us?
What do you think about CBD oil to treat any inflamed stomach lining...
