Hi everyone! I am new to this site and still trying to figure it out so please bear with me I have read many forums and learned alot, so thank you all for your info. However, I have some concerns about my 18 week male F3 and my breeder is nowhere to be found!!! He has been on on Royal Canine dry kitten formula which is available at all time and innova evo turkey/chicken wet twice a day since he was born. My breeder said he has enough nutrients in dry that I could wean off of the wet food but since he liked it, I continued it but cut down to once daily. Then I found he was not eating it right away like he always did, so for about three days I did not give him any wet!. He seemed to be sleeping alot for two days in a row and I became concerned so I found this site. After reading some forums, I rushed home and gave him wet food but he will not eat it. I then bought the Natures Instinct raw frozen bites, he wanted nothing to do with it! I tried a different flavor Evo, and he ate. The following day, he did not want it. Nor did he want the raw OR the initial Evo he always ate. A pet store employee gave me a Natural balance plateful packet and he DEVOURED it! He still will not eat the turkey evo.
My question is, Is the royal Canine dry food sufficient enough alone? My breeder stated yes, but I feel he should be eating more. I want him BIG and healthy! Any feedback on the Natural balance packets? I feel they arent the best diet wise and may be ok for a treat. So, suggestions on a good quality canned wet food would be greatly appreciated. And if leaving dry available at all times, how many times and how much daily should I offer him the wet food? He does not drink very much water that I see but I am always trying to remind him.
There are some other concerns as well, but im not sure if its just me over analyzing and being crazy or if there are things I should worry about. Such as change in sleeping pattern, stinky breath, one eye gets sleepys frequently, his ears need to be cleaned often and he gets very vocal at times (mostly when I am eating at the table, in the shower or he is by the glass door).
This is my first savannah, and cat in general, so I just want to make sure I am doing whats good for him. Any and all help or input would be really really helpful
