Just to keep everything in one place: I had to describe my feeding methods for Mazy cat to someone in the IBD group so I've copied it over to here just to keep things thorough.
Mazy cat is fed 11 servings a day. That is down from 17, and then 12. The 11 servings breaks down to 5 meals a day. (the other two get 4 meals a day)
The pre-meal breakfast, breakfast, lunch and pre-meal supper are Rad Cat chicken and Rad Cat turkey
5:30 am and 6 am she gets 0. 8 oz broken into two servings, .35 oz (the breaking fast pre-meal, with s.boulardii and a little pancreas) and half hour later .45 oz. (with a capsule of egg yolk lecithin)
7:15 am and 7:40 am she gets two more servings-.45 oz (with cosequin and marshmallow root) and .5 oz.( plain)
I come home for lunch around 1:45 and she gets .25 oz. (Plain)
When I get home from work, from 4:30-5: pm she gets her pre-meal supper,0.4 oz split in two meals, 1st serving is with s.boulardii and pancreas, 2nd serving is with egg yolk lecithin.
6:30 I start supper. Mazy cat's supper consists of (approx) 1.2 ounces of either chicken breast or chicken thigh (Mazy cat's meat is run through the food processor, she does not eat chunks) ,0.4 grams of chicken skin, 1/2 tablespoon of bone broth and EZcomplete in the appropriate amount.
(The bone broth has a few shreds of the meat from the Cornish hen frozen with it, and that is fed as a treat, to all three. Mazy cat gets most of it but the other two get a sliver, it's a special bonding evening ritual we all love.)
.How that meal is divided:
First I separate 0.5 oz of meat and skin and put it back in the fridge for later. The rest of the meat and skin is mixed with all the EZc, the bone broth and a little more water.
First supper serving is about 0.55 oz.
An hour later, 2nd supper serving is 0.5 oz with green lipped mussel and a couple drops of ACV.
An hour later 3rd supper serving is the 0.5 plain
An hour (sometimes less than an hour) later her final meal is the last of the EZc mixture. It's usually about 0.3 oz. To this bed time meal I add her slippery elm bark, marshmallow root, 0.14 oz boiled egg yolk, probiotic, and a few drops of ACV (and a little water)
This last meal MUST be given by 9:30. It is imperative that Mazy cat get at least an 8 hour fast every night to help her motility, the 8 hours is required to stimulate the pyloric emptying. On weekends I aim for at least one 10 hour fast over night.
This is the current regimen, it has evolved over many years. Her regurgitation episodes have plateaued to every 7 - 10 days,. sometimes more often, especially when I work overtime and cannot give her the 8 hour fast every night.
PS Mazy cat gets a modified prey model meal of Cornish hen and liver and pancreas (with egg \shell calcium) on Sundays instead of the EZc meal. Still broken up the same way.
Her bone broth is made from the Cornish hens too. She loves Cornish hen above all other meat but her hens are $19.50 each plus shipping, so I have to use them sparingly
