Thumper Update Post #22

[Craftlady]

We went for a recheck after completing 14 days of antibotic for bladder infection. Also to check if she was constipated (she is not.

She lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks

I've been feeding her twice a day total of 1/2 can (3 oz) size of Fancy Feast Gourmet Chicken.

Wet food alone is NOT good because there is NOT enough nutrients like dry food.

So, I took 1/2 cup of kibble and ground it with water to make a paste. After that I took water juice from tuna and mixed 2 tsps in the mixture.

SHE LOVED IT

I'm going to feed her more often than 2x a day.
Hoping to get 1/2 cup of this mixture eaten in a day.

Please keep Thumper in your thoughts and prayers.

Prayers for dear Thumper!!! I am glad she is eating well!

Is there anything else to try regarding her tumour? Even a different Reiki practitioner?

I hope I am not being pesky...just concerned for the feisty little girl!

The first thing I did when I got back from work was check for updates on Thumper. I hope she continues to eat and get over that infection.

The Found Cats , Porch Cats , Poofed Cats And I Are All Sending Prayers That Thumper Continues To Improve And Loves Her New Diet.
The Pet Angels Will Sneak Snacks Into Her Food To See If That Will Help.

I've given her 3 feeding today. She ate at 7 a.m.
Two since coming home from the vets (12:30 p.m. & 5:45 p.m) I may try little food around 10 p.m. before I go to bed for the night.

She likes the paste kibble mixture but I need to make up the paste as she eats it because it tends to get too pastey as it sits in the refrig. I did try mixing with a little bit of wet food (more kibble stuff than wet) and she like that too.
So I'm slowly getting a mixture that suits Thumpers appetite.

I hope that she'll start gaining some of her weight back and I'm glad to hear that you've come up with a good food formula for her. I'll continue to keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

And, there is no Taurine in Fancy Feast. It is not a complete diet.

Anyone feeding exclusively FF, should feed something with Taurine too.

We learned the hard way on FF for her to eat soley.
I still provide it to others as a snack (they eat dry food).

Still havent gotten the dry food mixture just right yet. Today I did mix pinch of wet food in eat bit which helped the constancy and enhanced the taste.

OMG! I did not realize that!!! How can FF be considered CAT food without the critical ingredient? (sorry, I am not hijacking the thread, I was just amazed at this fact)

[kb2yjx]

Glad to hear that Thumper is eating!!! However, like Jen, I am TOTALLY shocked that Fancy Feast DOES NOT have Taurine!!!!!!

[Craftlady]

FF lists it by percentage 0.05% in the gourmet chicken brand, but does not name it in the ingrediants list of the product.

Authority (petsmart brand name) actually lists the ingrediant plus the percentage 0.07% of taurine that is included in the product.

What's the difference?
Is Taurine in both products?

[jenluckenbach]

I also have recently looked at the FF labels. and it DOES say Taurine .05%. Confused
