Right now Sola is eating California Natural salmon and sweet potato wet and IVD duck and green pea dry (he won't eat the wet for some reason). He's supposed to be on strictly IVD, but I don't want to just feed him dry food since all the advice you give is to have your cats on wet!



Should I just get chicken liver cat food or chicken liver from the grocery store? I don't even know if you can buy just chicken liver (I've been a vegetarian for 20 years so I don't know much about all that!)



I'm supposed to be giving him budesonide once a day, in addition to the flagyl twice a day, but after reading what you said about steroids, I am hesitant to give it. Plus I read that budesonide is 15 times stronger than prednisone! Is that true? And could the budesonide affect his red blood cell count?
