Becki
Savannah Super Cat
I know this breed is "thin", but what is too thin? Nyah is 8 and 1/2 months old (f2b, 28%) and though I don't see her ribs, I can feel her spine and hip bones when I pet her. She is not lethargic, her eyes are bright and clear, her coat shines. She is fed 4oz of primal raw daily (2 nuggets am and 2 nuggets pm). I mix up the formulas I feed her, I have the chicken and salmon, beef and salmon, quail and venison right now. She also has free choice grain free dry (natures variety instinct with raw boost chicken mixed with their rabbit formula).
She doesn't scarf down her raw, she eats about half, goes and does something else and comes back later to finish. I don't allow it to sit out more than an hour. Most of the time she finishes by then, but there have been times (once or twice a week) where she still had food left over, so she isn't acting starving! I know she is still growing so I want to be sure she is getting all the nutrients she needs.
Also, should I be worming her on a regular basis because she does eat raw? I noticed she was scooting her rear end across the carpet the other day, but haven't seen her do it since. If I should be worming her, I will call the vet Monday and get that set up ASAP.
Thanks!
