Title: Soft food wise my oldest can only keep down kitten food
Post by: MrsR on September 16, 2008, 13:17:02 PM

Would like your guys thoughts on this, my oldest Bunty loves soft food but unless it is kitten food she brings it back up again.    She does wolf down her food like there is no tomorrow so at times its not surprising but I find it strange that she always keeps down kitten soft food - is there any harm in feeding her this?     Her main food is dry Vet RC.

Maybe if you gave her a little bit at a time instead of a whole pouch kinda thing?  Its funny that she only keeps kitten food down as usually its richer than adult/senior foods :shify:

Have you tried mixing the biscuits with the wet food?, Clapton loves his food like this and it makes them eat  a bit slower

I always thought kitten food was lighter on their tums and thats why she was keeping it down.

All different ones and she has brought them all up, at the mo whiska's kitten food sits nicely with her.     When I order some RC dry food next week going to try her on some RC wet food as I need to get some urinary wet food for Vesti.
