我觉得给肠胃脆弱或者年老的猫吃冻干不太好,冻干is basically raw food and though they are commercially produced and safer than the home made raw food , there are inherent risk in raw food. 特别是对于肠胃脆弱而且年老从未试过raw food的猫,this is not a good idea. There is also no study show that freeze dried food is better than regular cat food
你家猫咪爱吃罐头是好事。罐头里的成分其实比较复杂,有一些含胶,淀粉等不适合猫咪的东西。你可以尝试选择成分相对简单的,比如Koha的limited ingredient diet https://kohapet.com/collections/limited-ingredient-diet-pate (注意看下网站上的nutrition info, 鸭和部分lot的兔味磷含量高,不适合年纪大的猫咪), Dr. Elsey's的cleanprotein系列也还不错,口味选择多,磷含量不高https://www.drelseys.com/product-types/food/,另外是feline natural的成分也比较简单,磷含量相对高。
除此之外,你可以给猫咪试试冻干. nulo turkey and duck味是磷含量最低的冻干之一,primal的beef n salmon, pork, turkey这三个味道的磷含量也不高。我家猫最喜欢的vital essentials冻干,有小碎骨,磷含量比之前2个牌子高。冻干的好处就是没有胶,吸收更好。但一定用水泡过再给猫咪吃。
如果一定要吃干粮,Young again zero和Dr. Elsey's是两款FB猫群里很受欢迎的干粮。前者有些猫咪吃了会软便,所以一定要slow transition. 这2家公司都提供sample. LZ可以写信找他们要来试试再说。
另外还可以尝试的是换下protein, 尝试兔和venison这2种protein, 看下猫咪吸收如何。
最后就是可以尝试homemade food. 可以是Raw可以是cooked. 网上有不少菜谱。最后加上EZ complete营养粉就好 (ez complete也可以要sample).
祝好运!祝猫咪健健康康,好好吃饭,重新变得白白胖胖!
还有就是如果体重下降最好还是要早点去看医生,看肾脏有没问题,是否有甲亢等。。。
老猫消瘦经常跟肾病和甲亢有关,验血都可以查出来。
我家17岁老猫原本慢性肾衰,越来越瘦,最近又发现甲亢,没办法,老猫的身体越来越弱了。。。
