HOME COOKED CAT FOOD THAT IS HEALTHY AND SAFE FOR YOUR CAT
Cat food recipes published on this website do not substitute a

PLEASE ALWAYS CONSULT WITH YOUR VETERINARIAN WHETHER A RECIPE IS
SUITABLE FOR YOUR CAT. |
This recipe is suitable for older cats
diagnosed with chronic renal failure It is an alternative to commercial
prescription diets such as Hill's k/d
or Waltham's Renal Support from
Royal Canin.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 lb (250 g) liver
4 large or 5 small hard boiled eggs
4 cups (700g) white rice, cooked
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 (10g) teaspoons calcium carbonate (i.e. Tums or powdered egg shells)
Grind the liver (it is best to feed it raw), mix it together with the
other ingredients. Add 1 cat dose of a balanced vitamin +
mineral suplement.
Palatability may be improved by adding some water and warming
it up to body temperature. Do not add salt.
Low Protein, Low Phosphorus Renal Diet
| IMPORTANT! |
| Always
provide clean fresh water! Cats with renal failure are unable to
concentrate their urine which results in increased urination . They
need to drink more to make up for this extra water loss. If
they are deprived of water, they could dehydrate quickly and die! |
Many cats with renal failure will not have a
great appetite. If your cat refuses to eat this diet, you may mix in
some of his favorite food and then very gradually (minimum over 7 to 10
days) reduce it. If he still refuses to eat it, then just
tempt him with anything - it is always better when he eats something
then nothing at all, because cats as opposed to dogs and humans start
to break down their body protein already after 5 days of starvation
