Due to chronic diarrhea and stinky flatulence from my newly adopted kitten, and after trying various remedies, I started cooking her homemade food using the products and cookbook from Holistic Vet. What a difference! The gas was gone and her stool was normal. Then after about 8 days she vomited her evening meal and her morning meal the next day. I don't understand why. I took her to the vet, again, and they did an ultrasound on her intestinal tract. They found that she had inflammation in the intestinal tract and her pancreas. When the vet let her taste a Gastrointestinal Biome chicken stew and she licked it right up. So she was prescribed this diet for a 3 month trial. It's expensive food! She is doing great although occasionally still has gas but not as stinky. I introduced a little of the home cooked food again but she just sniffed it and walked away where before she finished the whole serving. I'm going to follow the vet's advice and do this 3 month trial. After that I'd like to introduce her to the home cooked food again and see how she does. When I showed the vet what I was preparing for the kitty to eat her reply was, "yea, there's a lot of marketing in this stuff." I was disappointed and took that to mean she was not going to support what I was doing. It's a tough spot to be in medically, whether animal or human. At this point I'm just glad that kitty is doing well.
On thing I wish was included in the recipe/cook book instructions was how to properly re-heat the cooked food. I was warming it at 5 second intervals in the microwave until it about room temperature. But I was concerned if I was destroying the vitality of the supplements.
