Hi there sphynx lovers! I have an 8 month old boy and a 2.5 year old boy. My older boy has IBD we are certain. About 3 months ago, we started feeding ishi, the older boy, 1/3 cup cooked 80/20 hamburger 2x a day mixed with Better In The Raw nutrient mix with o.5 ml prednisone every other day. We also fed him additional when he was hungry to get his weight up from 5lbs after a near death illness. He gained his weight back within a month then we tapered his diet down that helped tremendously with stools and vomiting. We started feeding our kitten same diet 2.5 months ago, 1/4 cup x2 day as he had leaky eye and diahrrea. We are still watching his symptoms as it's been inconsistent. The leaky eye has cleared up!
Our monthly cost break down for 2 cats at current is $150 (still stabilising as we've been reducing food)
*Better In The Raw $75 a bag -makes 40# food
*10lbs 80/20 hamburger $25 x 3 a month for both cats
Just wondering what others suggest about food choice for making at home?
Is cooked hamburger an ok choice for protein? Cats seem to be doing well, but always so hungry even tho they are both thick. Even when we were overfeeding, they appeared starving.
Other suggestions for supplement products or recipes?
We would like to make this experience cost effective and healthy for the kitties.
Thank you so much!
