Update
Dogs are still going strong... cats are off the raw.
A few weeks ago Mr. Bear stopped eating... after a few days we noticed he was yellowing... Jaundice probably isn't a good thing in cats. Nearly $4k and 3 days in the hospital later, Mr. Bear is being treated for a nasty bladder infection and hepatic lipidosis - fatty liver disease. He also had an inflamed bile duct/gall bladder, but all seems better now. He's on a feeding tube and a plethora of drugs... one of which I cannot administer for the life of me. He's actually been eating on his own for several days now and is pretty much non-yellow... acting like an asshole, which is a good sign. Not sure if the raw food had anything to do with it or not, but through more research I found out that cats are WAY more sensitive than dogs... raw food must be given very quickly after the kill because cats are very sensitive to various bacterias... even meat that's been dead/left out for a couple of hours can make a kitty sick. Dogs on the other hand can eat rancid meat and a pile of cat shit (ask me how I know) and not be bothered one bit. |

Yeah, this isn't the first time either... He's gotten stitches and had some other ailments throughout his 9 years...

Maybe you are a better pet owner than I. No way I would spend that much on a cat. Or a dog for that matter. This is still working for Sadie. The fact that she is still alive and acting like a dog half her age is treatment to raw.

I've been down the blatter infection road with cats... they are on a high dollar purina urinary track food and will stay on that. It's served us well for like 3-4 years now.

I won't do that again. That, and we are the only society on the planet that puts such a value on an animal's life. Many other places, your treasured pet would be dinner. Don't talk to me about ”priorities.”
