Tomlyn High Calorie Nutritional Gel for Cats, (Nutri-Cal) 4.

Excellent.

Come nella descrizione è un integratore nutrizionale peri gatti. La consistenza è gelatinosa, odore per noi sgradevole ma è sicuramente appetibile per i gatti. L'ho usato per il mio gatto di circa 8/9 anni che comunque vive all'esterno. Nell'ultimo periodo ha avuto problemi di salivazione, probabilmente qualche enterite o pustole in bocca, mangiava a stento e ha avuto pure perdita di pelo. Con questo prodotto e con una cura antibiotica sta meglio, sicuramente ha molto più appetito. Lo consiglio!

Great gel easy to apply if they will not eat just apply the amount needed to the front leg of the cat and they simply lick it off and with this being high calorie and all the extra vitamins and minerals they need to get over any not eating phases due to illness or just being old needing that extra care i'd highly recommend this high calorie gel especially cat's with diarrhoea it's very effective to keep there calorie intake up doesn't smell that bad and if they will not eat on it's own then all you need to do is put the portion need on there front leg and they simply lick it off and it seems to helps to make them hungry too but this is fantastic gel cause it set's your worry aside off your cat not getting enough calories during illnesses I've alway order this now it's handy to have in your first aid cupboard it as a good use by date definitely 5*

My cat won’t touch this on its own, but I mix it with Lick-e-lix and he goes absolutely mad for it. I got this because my cat is suffering from a severe respiratory infection and stopped eating. He is being treated for his infection and given appetite stimulants, and in addition to this gel/lick-e-lix combination he has his appetite back and is gaining weight.

Yeah, forget the directions to dab a little on a paw and let the cat lick it off. My cat was horrified at being smudged. She wouldn’t lick it off a plate either. I didn’t like taking a glob and shoving it into her mouth forcefully, and you should’ve seen her incredibly unhappy and disgusted face the one time I did. I got this to increase the calories my cat took in during a time she was too sick to eat well or enough. On that count, it’s fine and does offer calories and some nutrients. The issue is getting it into your cat. This stuff is pretty thick- you can’t syringe it in, and it doesn’t mix into food easily. What I ended up doing was putting a teaspoon of this and a teaspoon and a half of baby food in a tiny container and microwaving it 8 seconds. Then I could stir it all together, let it cool and syringe feed it. All the high calorie gels have questionable ingredients that you probably wouldn’t want to give your cat long term but this stuff *did* help keep weight on my cat til she recovered sufficiently to eat more on her own. At the same time I used this, I also tried the Richard’s Organics Nutrient brand. I prefer the Tomlyn - it’s far easier to get out of the tube and (after heating with some baby food) it mixed better. I also tried Under the Weather which was about the same to use as the Tomlyn, but was more expensive and in an inconvenient and large container. I’m definitely not a veterinarian but as a consumer I’d suggest that any high calorie gel is probably not enough to keep your cat going, even if you follow the directions. It certainly won’t fill an empty belly (which must be uncomfortable) or keep them eliminating regularly. Not eating can become habitual so stop it fast. What we did for our 8 pound cat: Got some of the Gerber (meat only) “2nd foods” for “sitters” (on the label). They have: Turkey Chicken Ham Beef Read labels. In most other brands, the calories are lower per jar. You can also easily mix and syringe with Hill’s A/D diet as it’s liquidy and nutritious. You need a prescription for this food from your vet. Even mixing a teaspoon of the gel with 1 1/2 teaspoons of food, you end up with a bunch of syringes of food. You look at it all and wonder how you can possibly get it into your pet, so many little syringes. Hey, it’s your pet’s life. Get someone to help if you can. Wrap that baby up in a towel or blanket like a burrito. Put the burrito on a towel or sheet you don’t care about to catch any droppings. Gently lift the side of the lip and get the food in there 1 ml at a time. Chase with some water syringes at the end. It’s not fun but it may keep your pet alive. We’ve done this twice daily now for 10 weeks. Our girl is just now starting to get back to more regular eating and moving around again. Worth it? Definitely. This is NOT intended as veterinary advice. If you have a vet who’ll give you syringe feeding guidelines, follow that advice. Our cat had 2 different vets (regular vet and internal medicine specialist) and neither one had any ideas. I’m just saying what we came up with and apparently worked. Best wishes to you with your pet.
