    Hard stools

    I would not use that product on top of the other supplements, it has kelp in it which can harm the thyroid, and will throw off the balance of the Alnutrin. Just get plain digestive enzymes.

    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...

    Hard stools

    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. :)

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

    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.

    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. :)

    Hard stools

    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...

    Premix for raw food for cats

    Alnutrin's complete supplement is comparable to the others. Any of them would work.

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

    Oh, that's a math question and I don't do math, lol! She needs 80-100 mg of taurine amongst all the food she eats in a day. If she eats 3 ounces (85 gm) of food, then she needs 100 mg (0.1 gm) of taurine. If she eats 6 oz (170 gm) of food, she still needs 100 mg of taurine. It's per cat, not...

    How to support kitten after spaying surgery

    Spaying does change hormones and most significantly reduces their basal metabolic rate. Keep her active by playing, and reduce her food intake by about 25% to prevent weight gain. As far as supplements, you could try Standard Process Cataplex F, which contains ovarian cytosol extract. Find out...

    Food dish for cats - is there a preference?

    My best thrift store find was a set of shallow, wide-rimmed ceramic soup bowls that kept crumbs in, were heavy enough to not slide, and allowed great food access.
