THE LIVER SHAKE FOR SICK CATS
This liquid food is appropriate for cats suffering from conditions where they are eating very little or not at all such as anemias, leukemias, deficiency states with symptoms of lethargy, listlessness, and weakness.
Ingredients:
1 cup raw liver (beef or chicken)
1 cup fresh carrot juice or V-8 or tomato juice
1/4 cup fresh filtered water*
1 raw egg yolk
1 tsp kelp powder or spirulina
Combine and mix in a blender until liquified. (Note:It will be frothy)
Dosage:
Administer 10cc daily 3-6 times a day (60cc per daymax)
Some cats will need to be force-fed with a syringe,while others will drink it out of a bowl. This food has a sweet and salty taste, and the energetic properties of tonifying (energy boosting), warming, and stimulating and supports the kidneys, spleen, liver, and stomach. This drink is a complete dinner for a sick cat until they feel good enough to eat by themselves again.
* Substitute rice water if the cat has diarrhea. Ricewater is made by boiling white rice (2 tblsp) withwater (1 cup) for 30 minutes. This liquid aids digestion and assimilation and inhibits the symptoms of diarrhea.

Oh yum. I bet my husband would require me to mix this on the porch.
I once made the mistake of using a blender on KMR/kitten food glop with hot water, and I didn't hold the top on...kitten glop EVERYWHERE!
I'm just imagining that scene with a liver shake!
