Tomlyn 2-Pack Nutri-Cal for Cats High Calorie Supplement, 4.25 Ounce Tube

I have a Bengal with IBS. She’s struggled with it for years, and although she is on a strict diet - she still has occasional flare ups. The last flare up was very scary. She wasn’t absorbing nutrients and only ate a few morsels at a time. She looked anorexic. Steroids help, but we can’t keep her on them permanently. We found this dietary supplement and thought we’d try it. We started using it about 4-5 months ago. She doesn’t love the taste, but she doesn’t spit it out when I put a big blob on my finger and rub it on the roof of her mouth. The difference in her is astonishing. She has gained weight (healthy weight), she is eating more at a time - and frequently, she’s less moody and more playful, and her coat looks amazing. We are now loyal customers!

I was really worried about giving this to my elderly cat who is not eating because I've seen some owners say that their cat refused to eat it. I've been desperately trying to find something she'll eat and pick back up her appetite and I can thankfully say she has been accepting it so well. She will only eat it off a finger though, she will not eat it off a plate or the tube. She likes it so much that I have to cut her off because she's a wee little kitty and I'm afraid of overfeeding her it. She is very slowly picking at her food again and I have been faithfully feeding her it, without any problem. She also seems to be more alert after feeding her it, which I am pleasantly surprised at. The only complaint and disappointment I have is, I wish the adult formula had taurine in it because it's supposed to supplement your cat's diet when they aren't eating. Without it, I feel it's a bit misleading. To all the cat moms and dads out there that are in a similar position, I'd recommend giving this a try.

Love this product. It stinks right from the start. But my cat enjoys it, and i would use it on softened kibble. She gained weight and her coat got so pretty and long I had to buy a dematting comb. Effective, good taste for cats. Decent value for 2, but I put off the purchase often. No leakage.

My cat was sick, she came to us in 2021, I would guess she's over 5 but under 10 years old. She never misses a meal and claimed our porch as a new home. When I noticed she wasn't showing up for food and started to lose weight, I found this product and gave it her per instruction on the tube. About a week of little food, she became very weak. I had a vet appointment but continue to give her1 Tablespoon of this. It is a lot for a cat who lost appetite. It is stickier than molasses. She would lick it once or twice and refuse the rest. I mix with a little water so that I can syringe feed her. We found out she has tick borne related disease. She didn't respond well to Convenia and still not eating so I continue giving her this supplement. A month later, I took her to a different vet and Doxycycline was good for her. She started eating on her own within hours of her first dosage. She was doing so well for about a month and then her symptoms return. I took her to Vet #2 hoping to get another and maybe longer prescription of Doxy. As fate would have it, they gave her Convenia. She wasn't eating and once again, I mix this supplement with some water and use syringe to give her. Unfortunately, this around I gave it to her incorrectly. This was my 2nd tube and close to two months of syringe feeding liquid food so I thought I knew what I was doing. I caused aspiration. She was wheezing and trying to breath. I CPR but it was too late. So please be very careful. She may have a hard time swallowing and it was mistake to force this down. A lesson I'll never forget. I can't say if this product helped at all in my case. She was almost 10 lbs and dropped to 7.2lbs. She bounced back to a little to over 8 lbs with the right antibiotics when she was eating again.

This has been a lifesaver for my cat! And me! I have to make all of his food from scratch and I was worried he wouldn’t get his nutritional needs met, but this has kept him healthy. He loves it.
