The kalium carb 200 also referred to as kal-c. Is this calcium carbonate? Is it the same calcium that we take. If not where do you get it for your cat's?

No that is potassium carbonate in potency, 200. You can order it online from a homoeopathic pharmacy. Many of them deliver at home too.

Do they not sell it in health food or pet stores?

WEll most of my patients say that the do buy the medicine at the local health food store. So I suppose you would get Kali Carb there. It is quite a common remedy.
Best of luck!!

Thank you for your response. I have one more question...........both my cat's have been fixed (male and female). After doing lots of research I have found the different thoughts on foods......dry vs canned vs raw, but am still somewhat confused. I cannot do raw. If I mixed a good premium dry with canned and gave tomato juice or cranberry a couple of time a week would that prevent the urinary problems? If not what would you suggest? Thanks

I think GPM or KKrista could give you that advise!

Pamela,
I'm not sure why you can not do raw, but in that case, cook. If you still can't cook, the lesser of 2 evils is probably just canned, but a premium or better still "Holistic" blend. The problem with commercial diets are the GRAINS!!!! Have you EVER seen a cat grazing in a farmer's field?!!! The grains convert to sugars which is very dangerous in carnivors! We wonder why we have so many cats with urinary problems, kidney failure, diabetis and the latest is now heart disease (that is really ridiculas for a carnivor). The problem with cooked diets (and kibble) is that the nutrients are cooked out by the heating process and then have to be put back in. This is a real problem especially with calcium as there is no "safe" calcium supplement because it must be properly balanced with I believe Magnesium. This balance already exists in raw bones. So if you do decide to cook, follow a proven recipe, and try to find one with as little grain as possible. Remember, in the wild cats eat birds, mice, rabbits etc. the only fiber they get is whatever they get from the intestinal tract and hair, feathers etc. Good luck!

Thanks for your answer. I bought some dry food called Premium Edge that list chicken as the first ingrediant. I went to a larger town to try and find a food called Sensible Choice but compared it to the one I bought and it's first ing. was chicken meal. I know the best way is raw but can I reach a happy medium and feed raw sometimes and a good quality dry the other times?

Pamela,
ABSOLUTELY! A definite benifit to adding raw fresh foods to your cats diet if he will eat it! Don't worry so much what it is, just be sensible (cats are carnivors), don't give him chips, but any vegetables,fruits or meats (preferably not cooked, if cooked make sure to debone thoroughly)if raw, chicken bones are very soft and easily chewed in a raw state, chicken necks are very easy for a cat to manage although a friend of mine has her cat eating a whole back with neck! Raw bones are good for them! Don't worry about choking, cats are fussy and eat slowly and carefully! For urinary problems the bones, heart, liver, kidney and acidic fruits and vegetables are great! Good luck.
