Things are looking up again, hopefully
I hope it’s not too soon to cheer, but El Monto appears to be doing well. As far as I can tell he pees a good volume, due to drinking copious amounts of tuna water. In the morning I open a tin and squeeze out the water, which I give him to drink. Then I mix the tuna with some tap water and put it in the fridge. Each hour I drain the water, let him drink it, and top up the tuna with fresh tap water. It’s amazing how many brews you can get out of a single tin before it loses it taste! Especially if you put the ‘broth’ in the microwave for a few seconds to bring out the flavors.
So, there’s hopefully no need of syringes and X-rays. Still keeping my fingers crossed though.
By the way, now that all three are on wet food they pee a LOT. I have to scoop out the litter boxes several times a day. But I don’t mind because this seems so much more natural and healthy. And there was me being so happy about the dry food regimen in an earlier post! :grr:
By now I have really gone back on that. Yesterday I’ve been reading up on feeding cats and learned that all this dry food is quite unnatural. Moreover, there seems to be a correlation between too much dry food and bladder trouble!
Here’s a very interesting link – it was a real eyeopener for me:
Feeding Your Cat: Know The Basis of Feline Nutrition
I’ve also become interested in the concept of raw food. There’s a lot to be found on the web about the BARF method… I wonder who first came up with that acronym and what were they thinking? :LOL:
Anyway, I am going to study this subject. Maybe even try to slowly introduce the odd chicken leg or neck… see what the Coonies make of it.
Anyone on here have any experience with raw feeding?
