RE: Update on the Sick Cocker Spaniel

[Guest guest]

Be forewarned, , that it's notoriously difficult to switch cats to a raw diet. Unfortunately. And you can't wait them out (fast them) because it's hazardous to their health not to eat for a couple of days....unlike dogs, who can fast periodically with no problem at all. There is a list on groups called RawCats that can help you with that.

Yes, of course, you can contact me off list! And I can give you some recommendations of raw food lists for dogs, too.

(after reading up, my significant other and I have decided to put our felines on a raw diet now!!)

Sharyn and others feeding raw diets...may I contact you off list re: raw feeding?

Please try and get her NOT to do this, she is not helping his health

at all she is making it worse. Chemicals will never make this or

any dog well. He is overloaded with all these toxic substances she

keeps putting on him and she is contributing to his illness and possibly

even early death with what she is doing!

I really don't know anything about feeding raw to cats, Diane. I just did a search on groups and came up with these two lists:

feline_nutrition/

naturalCATS/

There is also a Canadian list...how close are you to Canada?

CanadianNaturalCats/

BTW, your habanero peppers went out in this morning's mail. You should have them Tuesday or so.

I have heard of a few problems showing up in cats on an all raw diet... mostly pancreatitis... do you know anything about that, or is it fairly uncommon? Just wonderin
