Hi, I have an elderly cat who was on a commercial diet and losing weight. I switched him to lean raw beef and yogurt and he put weight on, then got diarrhea despite the digestive enzymes, etc. I switched to a raw chicken diet(whole ground up chicken patties) and that was fine for awhile but then it caused intestinal bleeding(the bits of bone were scraping the intestines). I switched him to boiled chicken and yogurt and that was fine too for awhile and then he started losing weight, and his stools because loose and looked almost like the food I was feeding him,also very smelly. He has lost alot of weight. So right now, the commercial diet, raw beef, and chicken diets have caused problems. What is there left I could feed him? Are there supplements that would help? Thank you for any help with this.
