Helped save the Ricksterâs life!!!
Over the last couple years my sweet, picky 17 yo cat Ricky had been gradually losing weight and getting âdullâ⦠his eyes, his fur, he was just getting run down. The vet diagnosed him with CKD and hyperthyroid and we started meds. In the last couple months he really started to deteriorate, no energy, barely eating and lost a couple pounds he really couldnât afford to lose. I was worried he was going to waste away, I was getting really sad and losing hope. The one thing he would enthusiastically eat was the âChuru Nourishâ treat tubes I buy from my vet (different than regular churu, twice the calories). But those have so little nutrients in them, I knew he couldnât last long on churu nourish alone. In desperation I searched for cat appetite formulas or cat nutrients, saw the great reviews on this one and ordered (along with a couple others) .When they all arrived Ricky wouldnât eat any of the nutrient formulas on his food, so I mixed this liquid with his churu in a little cup and used a food syringe to put the slurry back in the churu tube. He sucked it down just as enthusiastically as a regular churu treat. So for the next week and a half I made him 4 âchuru bombsâ a day- 6 ml of rebound liquid mixed with a churu, four times a day. Heâs getting calories and some protein from the churu and his vitamins and minerals from the Rebound liquid. Added bonus, I could sneak his meds in his âchuru bombâ, no more pilling.After a few days of mostly churu bombs, he started eating his wet food, a little at first and then more and more until now, a couple weeks later, he is eating two cans of cat food daily and with gusto! I really credit this product for giving him the nutrition he needed to recover enough to want to eat again. And heâs put on a pound and a half in the last two weeks- Rebound liquid is very low cal, but it makes the calories that your cat is willing to eat have enough nutrition to keep them going and help them recover.Now Ricky is acting more like his old self- strutting around the house, getting into mischief, demanding scritches. His fur is shinier and he has more energy and an appetite. Even though heâs eating more, Iâm still giving him two to three âchuru bombsâ a day with 6ml of rebound each time, and he loves it. I just ordered another bottle and plan to continue it as his daily multivitamin.I donât know how long my sweet Ricky will be with us, heâs a very old man and his CKD is pretty advanced. But I absolutely think this product (along with the Churu Nourish tubes, Forza Renal cat food and some great vet care) is making the time he has left longer and more comfortable. Thank you for this product, quite literally a lifesaver!!

Excellent product?
My 24 yr old cat is dying of a heart condition. Vet says she will just one day go to sleep and not wake up.But I didnât want her to go out by starving, and she wouldnât eat! But she would drink.So I bought kitten formula, and put this in it! Two dropper fulls per day over about six serving s of formula.She is drinking formula all the time if it is warm, and is back to cuddling, her fur is thick and healthy, and she is enjoying the rest of her life. And she is pooping and peeing again which had been difficult for her because her body is slowing down. I donât know how it works for motility, but it did indeed work! As long as she is not in pain or suffering, I will continue to feed her this and the formula.She has been a wonderful friend to my children growing up and to me thru many things. She had been depressed since she lost her daughter last year, and now this heart condition. She deserves the very best.And I canât thank this company enough for giving her a bit more time and bit of happiness before she goes.She even played with her string a bit! Then snuggled down with me for a nap, and woke up hungry.So grateful! I donât know if this combo works for every cat, but Gertie mama is much more comfortable, and healthier. No reason she canât go out on a good note.God bless you!

woethywhile product to try, lots of info below
I forgot I had purchased this. I bought it because my elderly kitty was going downhill fast. She wasn’t eating enough, and I wanted to add something to her food that would possibly provide her more nutrition. It really helped her in terms of feeling more comfortable and satisfied, which made me feel better.I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Short shelf life, though. There are a few products I like for this purpose, and this is one that is good. Not a lot of info here, so I looked up what I could find and added it here.

I have never been happier with a product in my life!I have a 10 year old scottish fold munchkin that I swear was knocking on Death’s door! She’s always been slim and small, she’s a munchkin! But I started to notice she was really boney and super lethargic. I went through something similar with her a couple years ago, went to the vet and had $500+ worth of blood and urine test done for everything to just come back normal. I switched her to wet food only and supplements, all seemed well up until about a month ago. She not only got really skinny this time but she also became very lethargic and started to refuse food. When she would eat, she would just throw it up. She wasn’t drinking any water and I have a water fountain that she’s always loved. She wasn’t using the litter box either. So i knew something was terribly wrong. Her nose was dry, her eyes were dry and crusty. I noticed she had no life behind her big blue eyes. She was all squinty and lifeless. She jus laid beside me hunched over.I found this product and figured I’d give it a try. I was worried she wouldn’t eat it and I’d have to hand feed her, but she absolutely loved this stuff. She only weighed 3lbs, so I was giving her 1teaspoon/day to start, but near the end of the week, I was giving her 2teaspoons/day. She came back to life! She wanted all the treats. Food, water and snuggles. She was excited about feeding time again. Drinking water like crazy and using the litter box regularly again!The bottle was nowhere near empty, and since they said it was only good for 7 days, I portioned out single teaspoons into an ice cube tray, froze it and put it in a ziplock for the future.She’s now eating like a horse, drinking tonnes of water and using the litter box at least two times a day. She’s back to her normal self. She’s got meat on her bones again and actually got the zoomies for the first time I’m months.This stuff saved her life.Thank you!

Malheureusement, cela n’a pas fonctionné pour mon chat, une visite chez le vétérinaire a régler son problème. En plus, le produit est beaucoup moins cher chez le vétérinaire.
