Yes! That is the stuff I am talking about!! I was really turned off by the sugar content but now you have just given me an idea to actually make the Glop and mix it in some normal canned food. Thanks, Luv!
I also bought this product today. What do you think??
They don't list what amino acids. That bothers me.
Ah bugs. I didn't catch that. OK. I am calling the company tomorrow, and if they will not be specific, I will cancel my order. Thank you, C21! Two heads are truly better then one! (((HUGS)))
Hey I've used Nutri-cal before with one of my last batch of cats! I've used FeloVite too, made by the same company (Tomlyn). A little goes a long way; they're both nutritional supplements. They don't help increase appetite but they'll definitely help keep him from being malnourished until he gets it back.
As for the yogurt, a little won't hurt him. But again we're talking a tablespoon or so, in a day's time. At the very worst, it'll give him gas. Just remember dairy is NOT meat. Cats LIKE cheese and milk and other dairy products (mine loves butter), but they're not really built to digest it very well.
Thank you, Anon! Calling my vet right now to see if they carry either Nutri-cal or FeloVite. Getting him fattened up is exactly what my intention is, and having faith that his appetite, once stimulated with fatty dairy products, will come back! (((HUGS)))
Okay, now that my brain is working again (well, kind of...LOL!) I'm remembering a few other things that have helped make food more palateable to a finicky set of taste buds...a squeeze of wild alaskan salmon oil, or if that doesn't work, bust out the "big guns"...tuna juice! Tuna is always a last resort for me, because I worry a lot about the mercury, but a bit of the juice to "spruce" things up is okay once in awhile, I think...

Tuna juice....simple.....and I didn't think of it. He does seem to be craving fish right now, too. I KNOW that is a sign of something, but I don't know what. He doesn't want the meat, only fish.
You can get Nutri-cal and FeloVite at Walmart, or Petsmart, and even some supermarkets sell it. It's a fairly common supplement among us "pedestrians" who feed our cats Purina
All of my cats, however, have always liked PetraMalt the best. But it's definitely a more commercial brand and more like an emergency fast-food for cats with problems. Kinda like a hypoglycemic eating a piece of chocolate when he's feeling like he's about to pass out. It'll solve the immediate symptom but is definitely not advised as a regular thing.
Just called my vet and they don't have Nutri-cal but another product by a different company but it is the same thing. I put an order in and it is a go! Whispers will be eating this tomorrow. We still have yet to eat dinner, and seeing it took my husband all afternoon to put a ceiling fan back together that I um, have taken apart to clean for 22 years without a problem.....well, I know he is "too tired" to go tonight LOL and me? Uh uh. I'm drawing the line. I did a lot more then replace the cover on a ceiling fan today! LOL Thank you so much for this information. Looking good!!
Hahahaha.....just read your post, Anon! I have a Wal-Mart right up at the corner here. Oh, could I rouse up enough energy to go? Gee, I think I can! Man, o'live, he is getting this tonight! And thanks for telling me not on a long term basis. I probably would have figured it out myself after reading the ingredients. Thanks for the heads up!
Oh! Nutri-cal isn't food. It's a gel, in a tube. You smear around a half-inch of it on your finger and let him lick it off. Same with FeloVite. Except FeloVite smells REALLY strong because it's fish flavored.
