Good afternoon doctors Is feeding a cat boiled chicken everyday wrong? Because my cat is eating only boiled chicken and boiled fish Ans craves for only that After giving antibiotics and fluid cuz he had fever Now the fever has come down But he still says NO to wet food or dry food And eats only boiled chicken with so much interest Is it wrong? Abnormal?

Cats are obligatory carnivores, which means they are strictly non vegetarian and require chicken/mutton/eggs/fish etc as the main component in their diet. Fortification of diet would be important if you are not giving commercial food because they have very specific taurine requirements, also the amount of protein required is very high. I would generally suggest giving some amount of dry food with fresh food rather than depending on supplements. If your pet doesn't like the one you've used try a new flvour.

Doctor, fresh food as in boiled chicken and fish ? Do they get taurine in that
Dr. Anukarna Singh
Yes they do, specially tuna and chicken heart are good sources but it would be better if you can give some dry food along side to provide it in sufficient quantities.

I want to put up three of my kittens for adoption because handling 9 cats is proving to be too much for my mom and since I live in a different city for college and my dad is constantly out for work, she doesn't have much help. All three are 5 months old and vaccinated for rabies. There are two males (black and slim orange) known as Ronaldo and Neymar and a female called Fairy (fluffy orange fur). We live in Siliguri, West Bengal but are willing to travel depending on proximity, and ease of time.

my 7month old pup has become a fussy eater. he eats properly every alternate day and leaves a large portion of his food behind otherwise. Is this a normal tendency in dogs? how do I make him eat more regularly? His activity levels, poop and water intake are regular. no changes in that. I’m usually feeding him rice and vegetables in morning and kibbles by evening. Snacks and treats are very limited during the day.
