Yes, I do feed a mix of raw and Evo kibble. The raw food I make is either
organic or antibiotic, hormone -free. Rabbit,or turkey or chicken. I actually
use the recipe that I give my cat and just add the kibble for Popeye. I'm new
to the list...Popeye is my first Chi and I rescued him, as a stray, from the
pound about two months ago.

I just wanted to tell everyone that she had the kidney stones, thats
what caused all of this, even the arch back went away- she must of
been in pain for a long time except never cried, anyway she did
recover- still sleeps way more then before, but i guess thats normal
as she still might be in some discomfort, she will be on a new food
soon since the urine tests came back and the brand 'Ceasar' i guess
is too much for her stomach. If anyone uses Ceasar, be careful- in a
long term this is from my vet- too much fat and salt inside those
little cans.
