As far as food, yes, most of them are on dry. I don't like it, but I feed about 80 pounds of dry per month, and I absolutely can't afford to feed them all canned. I did the math when I put Missy on Evo and it would be $600 per month to put them all on Evo, which is really what I would like to do.

Kelly, I'm guessing the reason rabbit and venison have worked for some people is because of the novel protein approach. Novel, meaning a protein source that they haven't been exposed to and therefore would probably not have an allergic reaction to. I've fed Gypsy rabbit, (I know it hurts),

Kelly, I'm so sorry about your loss of Twinkletoes. Another one so young. It just tears your heart out when they get so little time in our love and protection. IBD kitties have problems with not absorbing nutrients in their food. B12 shots seem to help with that. I know there are other
