Grretings to the Raw Ilk-

 

I recently took my kitty to the puget sound's only

Ayurvedic vet and asked about starting a raw food

nd/or vegan diet and didn't get an enthusiastic

response per either one.

 

Hence: was wondering if anyone knows about CATS and

raw food resources--- and i don't mean buying

slaughter house chickens at QFC. I've tried giving

her avocados, dulse and Bragg's to no avail.

 

Namaste-

Karen,

 

If you don't get the info you are looking for on this list, try

asking for someone to contact you from the RawImmortal list

(rawimmortal) that has information for

you. One of the lists Christian mentioned may also have info for you.

Since demand for all things holistic is growing, many formerly mainstream

vets are educating themselves about natural treatments, but really only using

the same tired old approach to disease (i.e., wait till animal gets sick,

give medication/supplements/herbs). Also, even 'holistic' vets are not

immune from early indoctrination by the pet food industry. So, you can't

always depend on them for support. The best vets I know of that strongly

advocate a raw diet are Dr. Larry Siegler in Redmond and Dr. Michael Lemmon

in Renton. Dr. Lemmon is the best, imo. There are probably others as well,

but I'm only familiar with the eastside. I have read it is tricky (some even

believe impossible) to get a cat to thrive on a raw vegan diet, especially

one that was formerly cooked. Dr. Lemmon might have some ideas for you.

I've never discussed it with him, but I get the definite impression he

believes that cats are carnivores and need meat & bones. I sympathize with

your ethical dilemma, tho. Keep us posted on whatever you learn. :)
