Re: Lucy

I'm feeding her the Feline Futures Instincts TC supplement mix with ground turkey from the health food store and ground turkey organs from Oma's.  I have to partially cook half of it now, and then mix in the raw, because since I fed her cooked turkey after her fast she does not want totally raw food anymore.   I do not know how much calcium is in the Feline Futures mix, or how much psyllium. I have been giving her slippery elm, but maybe I should add some fiber to the food as well. Michelle   In a message dated 1/21/2006 11:38:21 A.M.
