It's been about a month and a half and Skye is now on a totally raw diet

After about a week on Prize Choice she became very constipated and started vomiting hairballs and we were concerned that the bones were causing this so I switched to raw chicken breast meat and after a few days slowly introduced raw boneless rabbit meat

2 weeks or so ago I began making Skyes food up in my food processor, and added raw egg yolk and filtered water - this was much easier and less time consuming than cutting the meat into small pieces for Skye to be able to manage with no teeth

Then after a few days things went a bit crazy - Skye started soiling outside her litter tray and her stools had become dangerously soft - so I sought advise from a few sources and was recommended to stop the rabbit and raw egg and to introduce raw chicken liver along with some supplements.

I have struggled to find anywhere in the Uk that sells supplements like Instincts or Primal and found the international shipping to be very expensive so went out and bought various vitamins to add individually - Taurine, Vit E, Vit B, Salmon Oil, Calcium and then luckily managed to find www.knowwhatyoufeed.com where I have purchased Alnutrin with calcium and their shipping from the USA was very reasonable along with payment thru Paypal - I will continue with raw Chicken Breast Meat, Raw Chicken Liver, and individual supplements all mixed and mushed in my food processor with filtered water until the Alnutrin arrives

Skye's stools have returned back to how I prefer them, much harder, less frequent, less stinky which makes for a happy cat and happy owner
