No, this isn't really targeted; you would need a prescription for the dissolution diet to get it from Chewy. Hills's sells worldwide. The Purina veterinary foods are about the same as Hill's in quality (which isn't terrific but the canned works in a pinch), though not as strong for actually...
Sorry to hear about Teapawt (best name ever!)...
This entirely is a dry food issue, so if she is still getting ANY kibble, stop immediately! Also no fish flavors, even canned foods, as they can contribute.
If it is a struvite stone, these can be dissolved within a couple of weeks with a highly...
Hi Sarah! Bueller is a great name! :)
The most common allergy in pets is to flea bites. A single bite can produce an allergic reaction that lasts for many weeks. So just make sure your flea management is top notch.
You're on the right track with a simple, whole food diet. Food allergies...
Normally I give 3 ir 4 times a day. We want the new energy pattern to integrate into her whole day. Of course give a dose particularly at bedtime. If she has a facorite toy ir sleeping area, soritz or dab some around there, too.
If you stop using probiotics, they stop working. The fiber that comes with good quality probiotics also doesn't work if you don't give it! ;-) It's excellent to rotate different ones, but I consider it important to give some probiotics daily, especially when there are GI issues or if antibiotics...
If you're feeding *only* meat, there are a number of vitamins and minerals that may need to be supplemented, calcium being the biggest one.
If you are feeding a raw meat-based *diet* (either a commercial product or from a good homemade recipe) that is already balanced, no need to add calcium...
My views on salt are from my own research. I have heart problems so doctors are always freaking out about salt. Turns out, salt has no effect on blood pressure else *except* in a few individuals who are sensitive. My blood pressure runs too low so I eat a ton of salt to even be functional...
Tamari is made from soy, which unless organic is GMO. I wouldn't worry about the amount of sodium in a few drops. The "medical" concerns about sodium are vastly overstated. Salt may improve taste and hence appetite, which are way more important for a sick kitty.
I disagree about the garlic...
She should still be getting the probiotic. Why did you stop giving it? Since she hasn't been getting it, that may explain the stool since the fiber is an important part of that supplement. Once is stable on that then we can see if she needs any additional fiber.
I guess I don't understand the question. She is already getting fiber in the probiotics, she isn't having any problems, it sounds like the vet is okay with how she's doing; why do you want to change it?
More likely from the big demands on her body from pregnancy and nursing, unlikely worms have anything to do with that. It won't hurt anything to wait to talk to Dr. Herman.
Um, has everyone *met* our US Postal Service? The mail has gotten slower and slower the last few years (the uppy-ups have made some very questionable and unfortunate changes).
That is a very important point about cruciferous vegetables. I love 'em, but being hypothyroid myself, I've been told...
