Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi

Archna
Feeding meals 2 times. 100 gm.chicken, brown rice , pumpkin,beans, carrot. Altogether about 350 gm each meal. Then inbetween a piece of whole wheat bread, few watermelon pieces
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
you should add extra corbohydrates content in his diet, things like rice, chapathi ,vegetables

Archna
Yes, these are already there
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
You should increase the carbohydrate content in food, like increasing chapati and quantity of rice
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
If you can tell me what is your dog’s weight i can let you know approximately how much carbohydrate increment is needed

Archna
He is 17 kg
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
This is perfect weight for his age, however you should increase the quantity to aprox 600gm each meal

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 do3 comments•34 views
