Good Morning LL! I guess Tess had a bungee cord attached when she dropped from the red floor yesterday. This isn't unexpected, but w/ the reduction, I'm holding my breath! nailbite_smile
For those who were wondering, Guar Gum, is a soluble fiber, like oatmeal. Dr Lisa has suggested it in her raw recipe. It acts by drawing water to the intestines the way Miralax does, but is natural. I was worried about using Miralax long term, this seemed like a good alternative. Tess doesn't always have poo every day (that's often the case when feeding raw), but if she goes more than a day I will still give a little Miralax. Guar gum also is a thickener, so the added water isn't too soupy. Don't use much or it gets too thick. I use about 1/4 of a gelato spoon. :lol: Got to keep getting gelato to keep Tess in spoons, the flat end and sides are great for getting to the bottoms and sides of cat food cans.
