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.

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
