Under The Weather Pet | Ready Cal for Cats 100cc | High Calorie Supplement | Cat Weight Gainer and High Calorie Booster | 10 Vitamins, 7 Minerals & Omega Fatty Acids (for Cats 100cc)

Because of our rural location people frequently dump cats near us where often the pregnant momma kitties make their way to our farm to have their kittens. Because of our unique setup with an auto feeder loaded with premium kitty food, the momma cats usually move their kittens to our enclosed catio when it's time to teach their babies to eat solid food thereby making it easier to catch and tame their Littles. Often there's one or more runts or sick kittens in most litters so we keep a fresh unopened tube of this Under the Weather on hand especially during Kitten Season. We've found almost every kitten has found this tasty treat absolutely delightful - after a small dab on the lips, they then willingly lick or nibble off a small squeeze until their tummies are full. By the 2nd or 3rd time they've had Under the Weather they regard us as safe creatures and no longer run allowing us to readily pick them up, they actually seem to look forward to getting this nutrient booster as a well deserved treat. If there's a really sick kitten we put a small amount of this Under the Weather and extra vitamin B1 thiamine in a bit of red cap whole milk, syringe feeding if they're too weak to drink themselves. If they have a bit of gunky eye we also add a dab of l-lysine powder. When they're 4 weeks of age we also treat with Baycox ie toltrazuril 10% then we repeat the toltrazuril 10 days later, especially if they've had diarrhea at all. Using this as our farm kitty rescue "protocol" we now save nearly 100% of the kittens who we can get our hands on. We re-home as many as possible, the rest are fixed and remain in our farm cat colony. We've been using Under The Weather for several years now - EVERY tube has been top quality and has definitely been vital in our effort to save lives; even kittens our vet was convinced no way would survive let alone thrive are now healthy active stout 12-15 pound farm cats. We have one cat who initially was a sick baby no one thought he'd survive, he was doing great until a farm accident, now as a tripod he's once again a strong agile kitty who readily scales trees and hay bales with only 3 legs. Everyone is amazed at his mobility and his vibrant health - again, Under the Weather definitively made the difference in his life, both as a kitten and as an adult recovering from a nasty infection developed within his deep lacerations prior to him literally dragging himself home for amputation surgery. ALL rescues, rehabs and farms should keep Under the Weather on hand to use for the sick or weak furballs. I'd give far more than 5 stars if possible, cannot recommend enough!

I have an elderly cat that refuses most wet food I offer him but he loves this stuff. I was worried about him keeping weight on and getting his nutrients with the small amount he was eating. I think I'm on my 4th tube of this. I offer it to him several times throughout the day, and he seems to know to ask for it when he walks into the kitchen. I tried measuring at first but gave up on that. I just let him lick little bits out of the tube as he wants them. I just push a tiny bit up and if he licks it off, I push a little more up. When he's had enough, he walks away. Giving it this way, the tube lasts for a long time. Trying to put vitamin gel in his mouth or spread it on his feet for him to lick off was always a mess and I never knew if he licked it all or if he flicked it somewhere because he would run away after I smeared it on his foot. The push up tube has solved that problem. I feel like this has helped keep him going.

My foster cat needed a some teeth extracted. While waiting for her surgery day, I had to syringe feed her because she had stopped eating on her own. She was 4 years old and had no other medical issues that we knew of. She had lost a lot of weight and wasn’t eating full portions because her teeth were in bad shape. So I did some research and came across this product. I blended the recommended dose in with her food and she ate it up. The next morning, I noticed she was breathing a little harder but figured it was the stress of it all. I fed her her usual along with another dose of this supplement that morning. When I got home from work the same evening, I noticed her breathing had gotten significantly worse. I called the rescue I was fostering from to see what vet to take her to (since they work with specific vets). We didn’t make it to the vet. She started twitching as I placed her in the carrier, possibly had a heart attack or a seizure. I took her out of the carrier right away but she died in my arms. There was no autopsy so I don’t know for sure why she died. Maybe it’s a coincidence it happened soon after using this product. Maybe this product interacted negatively with the medication (gabapentin or the Lactaid Ringer) she was taking. Or maybe she had a medical condition no one knew about. I’ll never know but I’ll always wonder if she died because of me, because I gave her this and it triggered a negative reaction. So please, consult a vet first

I bought this because my elderly cat has been losing weight. We found out she has some issues chewing, so we switched her food, but she needs to put on the weight she lost to be healthy. She doesn't eat as much as she should, so we started adding this to her food. It's been a couple of weeks now and she's gained almost a pound back which is really good. We put it on subscription delivery so that we can keep adding it to her food for as long as she needs it. It does do what it says in stimulating the cat's appetite. She has become very demanding in asking for food several times a day now, which we are happy about right now. She's got a bit mor energy moving around, jumping up on the bed again, chasing us to demand her food. The reason I gave it a 4 star is, my cat does not like the flavor. Mixing it in the food helps, but if we don't mash it in well and she tastes it, she won't touch it.

My cats have feline herpes and recently started having a flare. I got this and started giving it to my cats once a day with their dinner. Within a couple of days I noticed a difference in their appetite and energy. I’ll update if anything changes.

I'm sure this would have worked great, but unfortunately my cat would not eat it. To be fair, he had NO appetite. Would even eat his favorite treat cause he was so sick. It's really thick and sticky. It was really difficult to mix with canned food to string feed, and would constantly clog the syringe.
