A little concerned...UPDATE #18

Whew, vet visit done, Pinot's fine!

Dr. Huson looked her up and down (and put THAT THERMOMETER THERE!), talked to us for a good long time about her eating habits and anything that could be wrong. She said, "I see a healthy kitty", who may be eating too fast, or could have too much water mixed with the food... She also discussed something I've read about on this forum quite a bit, and that's gradually reducing carbs/grains. She may just not be fond of processing them. She supports the opinion that cats just don't need them, and some just don't have the system to support processing them.

So, we'll do this GRADUALLY, but we'll be, as Dr. Huson said, "cutting down on the kibble". Thanks y'all for being there for the princess; she's our healthy 11lb. beauty.

Good to hear!

Great news!

My boys have been on Origen grain free for a long time. But I do have to change to the Innova Weight Management (ahem). It's also grain-free, and my guys like it better than the Origen!

See if a pet store has some sample bags.

Hugs and kissies to Pinot!

Great news! WOO HOO!

I switched to grain free last Sept, and am so pleased. Three of the pudgier ones have trimmed down all on their own. I am using Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain Feline Formula.

After the research I've done, I am surprised any vet says felines can do anything with grains! Their systems just aren't built to process grains.

Hi Maggie, I'm so happy and relieved to know that Princess Pinot Noir is feeling better and had a good check up with the vet. I'll let Groucho know the good news, he has been worried about his kitty friend. Sending lots of lovies to Pinot
