M-O-L Pookie!
There is a 25 cents, consultation fee, m-o-l, he is a "special" boy and he knows it.
So as to keep Bump flushed out, because he won't eat wet, he gets 1 teaspoon Gerber baby food, mixed with water, so its like a broth, mixed with his dry, twice a day, and this is per my vet, she advocates feeding wet too, but Bump is just one of those boys.
I agree, wet is much better, but, it is better, bee-cause, of the added moisture, per say, and I tell people, to mix water with the wet, so its real soupy. The added water can be accomplished, other ways.
Bump is a big boy, with big kitties, you have to be careful, that they do eat, very careful, or you run the risk of liver issues, which is why, my vet wanted him to just eat something, and why I asked how much Clover weighed.
I can't tell you, how close, we came, to letting him go back to Goodlife, just so he would eat, if ya never been thru it, its hard to understand. Making sure he does eat, is our primary concern, especially, with his heart issues, that is a factor, most kitties, who won't eat wet, don't have, it makes a huge difference. He CANNOT be stressed out, he likes to eat, trying to force him to eat, something he doesn't want, major stresses him out.
Like we always say in the horsie world, what works for one horse, may not work for another, you have to adjust, to the horse, to the situation.
Now, the kittens, will eat anything, they are little garbage disposals. I have both extremes, m-o-l.
