Or maybe a sub chapter. I've included the links to her other threads so I can find them quickly if I need them.
Mazy cat is now 50/50 By Nature Organic/Rad Cat. On Saturdays and Sundays, or other days I might be home all day she is now 30/60 BNO/ Rad Cat. I have do do everything very slowly with her, as I allow her system to gert used to changes, and as I work out how to do things for my own routines.
She is getting pork pancreas (freeze dried, comes in capsule form) in two meals a day, a very small amount, I started this about 2 weeks ago, with a tiny dust in one meal a day, now it's a little bit bigger than a tiny dust, in two meals a day.
She is maintaining a steady weight on 4.5 (average) oz of food a day. This is half an ounce more than she used to eat.
Her regurgitation pattern (or lack of) has not changed. On the days I can give her a 10 hour fast overnight she does a lot better, but I cannot work out a way to give her that amount of time between meals every single day. There just aren't enough hours in the day to get enough food into her, and give her 10 hours a night fast.
I am working on it though, trying to get her to be able to eat more at one time, and to eat more meals in a smaller span of time.It's slow going, because that's what she needs, but she can now eat .4 oz of raw at a time and .35 oz of canned at a time. Her max for a 2 hour span is still 1.7 oz.
THAT is where the problem lies. To give her 10 hours every night I would have to feed the last meal at 7 pm. It's not possible to get enough food into her by 7 pm. On weekends, it is do-able, but not during the work week.
To look at her you'd laugh at me to worry so much. Her coat is thicker and plusher than it has ever been, ever. (She never had a nice coat until I started her on raw) It's nicer that Jennie's and Queen Eva's, and they get way more raw than she does. Her poops and pees are normal and regular. Her activity level is a joy to behold. Almost 12 years old and she thunders around the house with Queen Eva, and plays her favorite Games with me, and her Solitary Games...she hasn't slowed down at all.
Her eyes are bright and clear and dry. Not even any winter crusties.
Now, something I suspect is that she may have a chicken allergy, which manifests as pink hot ears after she has chicken. However, her digestion tolerates only chicken and turkey, so there just isn't anything I can do about those pink hot ears. It goes away after a few hours.
Damn. I have a picture but photo gallery is in crash mode today so it will have to wait.
