Yep. Meanwhile house kitties don’t expend too many calories.
Wow! Thank you for all that...looks like quite an undertaking!
Your kitty may have a thyroid problem.. My kitty weighed 29 pounds vet made me put him on a diet he did NOT lose weight he had a thyroid problem with medication he lost the weight almost immediately he still weighs 20 pounds but he is a BIG BOY he has HUGE paws!!!!
Would diet affect respiratory problems? My Linus is a young Ragdoll that constantly sniffle, sneezes and has eye goo. Vets have tried antibiotics, etc, but no dice. Ideas?
Yes...diet could affect respiratory issues...IMHO...have you tried primarily protein...no carbs...or raw? Darwins has raw...frozen, altho quantity is too much for our 1 cat who loves raw. I get some organic raw at local pet store now. Maybe worth trying?
My big boy is a rag doll also, he had sniffles changed his diet it costs me more for the grain free foods but he is doing so much better!!! Changing the food is a bit difficult once they are used to one thing they don’t like the change BUT when they get hungry they do eat it!!!
