sterday, with a discussion of the new 3-oz cans of Wellness Core

Good morning from the trial & error studio!

I got my Relion syringes yesterday and today will try to figure out how many drops are in 1/4 unit and where to set the calipers. I use old, almost empty, cartridges of Levemir (rather than water) for this task. I want to make sure that the consistency of the fluid is correct. The down side is that I have to smell Levemir while I am trying to figure it all out!

As I mentioned in Rusty's condo yesterday, while shopping at the PetSmart in Plattsburgh I found Wellness Core in new, 3-0z cans with slightly different listing of the ingredients (the most notable being that this food no longer contains carrageenan) (see my reply to @Judy and Boomer at the end of yesterday's condo). The food is "Made in Canada with finest global ingred." I'm going to try the new Core Turkey & Duck on Rusty later today, but I wonder what "finest global ingred." says about the sourc(es) of the contents.

Rusty had a good night, ate all of his nighttime fuds, and woke us up this morning zooming around playing with the toilet-bolt cap. It's raining. He's watching the rain from his perch over the radiator. It's supposed to rain until Sunday. Flood watches are out for the whole area.

Wishing all a good day.

p.s. here's a photo of the cans, for comparison: sorry it's sideways.

I'm glad Rusty is feeling good. Hopefully he likes the food. Good luck figuring the measurements for the Relion syringes. I hope they work for you.

Rusty rejected the new Core Turkey & Duck. That's my boy!

Did you buy a case of it Ella? You should know better!

I went into PetValue this morning; they still have the "old" Wellness Core. I was telling the manager how this was the only store that seemed to have the two kinds that I was looking for and that I had heard Wellness was now making them without carrageenan. She pointed out to me that another food I was buying, Weruva Fowl Ball, now mentions "Carrageenan Free" on the label.

Looks like Rusty likes the taste of carrageenan. Typical cat - reject something that's better for them.

Raining here too - but at least we aren't on floodwatch. It helps being on a slope on the side of a mountain. Stay safe.

Nope. I bought 2 cans.

Actually, I didn't think it smelled very good. It smelled like the can. Rusty has impeccable taste, of course.

Great news about the Wellness omitting the carageen. I will have to look into it as my boys loved it and I stopped it because of the carrageen. I need a reliable canned food for when I'm not home and don't want raw in the feeder.

I hope Rusty will go for it again another try. Maybe just putting a tbsp of it in his old food and keep diminishing the old food.

Glad you got the Relion sryringes and I hope they work better for you.

I always giggle when you say Rusty plays with the toliet bowl cap. I can hear it binging around on the bathroom floor.

Rusty, you are rockin'! Good luck getting squared away with the new syringes. Remember to breathe and maybe promise yourself an adult beverage or two for your efforts.

Hi Rhiannon, Rusty likes the "old" Wellness Core Turkey & Duck, but he sure didn't like the "new" formula. I don't think he's ever had Friskies. Maybe I'll try him on some.

'night all. See you tomorrow.
