Her stools are firming up just a little, so I hope that is a sign, today is only the 3rd day, we shall see. Surely not getting my hopes up yet. Maybe she does need a little bit of BOURBON!!! I were trying to point out cooking/processing food destroys enzymes so a bit of raw meat is needed for cat. As for the bourbon cats are non-drinkers mine will investigate but that's it. Then try for my steak The Pet Probiotics will be fine, just in my experience a expensive way of buying them. A human's digestive system has about 50 billion CFU's {Flora} so 1,2 or 3 billion amounts in a pill is not a big deal (they are beneficial but harmless) Petzl- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thanks so much for all the info, how do you know so much? What raw meat do you feed your cats? I noticed they even sell a raw food diet in the cooler at the pet store, probably another expensive option, huh? Jannie, some swear by a raw diet, but they are in the minority. There's a reason it says "CAT food" on those cans--makers have a better understanding of feline nutrition than the average pet owners. You can make a science of it and do it yourself. And I imagine some raw meat wouldn't hurt, but I do not think it is necessary. My first cat lived to age 18 without it. I would worry about bacteria in raw meat, too. |

What raw meat do you feed your cats? I noticed they even sell a raw food diet in the cooler at the pet store, probably another expensive option, huh? I'm getting old and have always had a cat or two or three (lived in Country, cats keep rodents away, without a cat rats or mice target the inside walls of house during winter. Rodents tend to defecate in one spot and non-cat owners notice smelly stains in plaster. Even farmers who don't like cats have them for this reason) The pet food in the store cooler would be raw and a option for cats I find cat likes variety the tin stuff keeps better is also OK, quality dry food is also good to have around and keeps even better As a kid the cat was only ever fed raw meat (beef) and they seemed to do OK (lived long and prospered). Meat sold in butcher has to be clean and checked for diseases, offal though always needs to be boiled at least 20 minutes for pet food (dog or cat) Pet food is also supposed to be checked but I don't believe as stringently as our human variety and this is happening too often http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_food_safety_center/ That's why I prefer the human acidophilus to the pet one Petzl |

Quality canned pet food should have enzymes and everything else added The case in question is a former feral cat with soft stool I am suggesting a slug of fresh raw beef could get its digestion back in order. A bit of dirt is good, being too antiseptic can make/take immune system out. Now wash your hands for full 20 seconds, dry with towel, finish with air dryer (everyone does this all the time?) Petzl |
