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 just adopted a Shih Tzu who is 10 months old. He lived with other pups. Got him today and he hasn't eaten or passed loo or poo.. from the time we got him home. Will he be okay. Is this normal in the breed? I have had other big breeds this is the first time with shih Tzu so am confused as am facing the situation first time.

Hello. My female cat got spayed 2 days ago. When we got her home, she peed on herself. She badly wants to clean that part so she is insisting to remove neck cone that was put by the surgeon. She hasn’t eaten any food since she got spayed. The neck cone is making her feel uncomfortable I guess. We did try to remove the neck cone and force feed her, yet she spit the food all out. Also she stayed away from us and started licking her body where she had peed. Also she started to lick the wound region, tried to take of the bandage that was attached to stitched region. So we put back the neck cone again. We really don’t know what to do
