I would think giving good omega fatty acid supplements, and maybe applying vit E or a non petroleum like oil to the nose helps. If its truly an immune issue, just getting a good diet on board is your best defense. As for weight/muscle mass, Asia was lanky and goofy looking until probably the last couple weeks (she is 8 months old). She is now really filling in and developing good muscle. Before I think she was too busy 'growing' and was more legs and neck then anything...lol, which I think is normal for kittens.

I never would have learned or known about raw feeding except that Harley had such a terrible problem with his eosinophilic granuloma complex we were desperate to find something to help him. Our holistic vet actually has an attached little pet food store with all natural food including a selection of frozen raw foods, so we're very lucky to have a vet that advocates the diet.

I feed cornish hen as my main meat (chicken), and I mix it up with turkey, quail, rabbit, pheasant, and fish. I don't feed 'whole prey', but I get as close as I can in my budget. My article that should go up tomorrow is on the different variety of raw diets, and some links/info to each. I will be putting my daily meal plan on a second post later this week due to length :).

We have just begun the transition to raw. I was preparing my own raw cat food using a premix I had found on the internet and mixing it in with their wellness canned food. I am curious to know the recipe you use for your kitties. Thanks so much for your article on raw feeding! We have just begun the transition to raw.
