I just read about Bob's Chicken Gravy in the latest issue of Modern Ferret and I was just wondering what are the importance of eggshells? Just seems a bit odd to me, I had always thought that the nutrition what on the inside of an egg. Also does anyone have a suggestion on how much of this to feed a day? My girl has cancer and has been eating Eukanuba Recover Formula, and I recently read somewhere that it is probably not a good idea to feed cancer patients food with lots of carbohydrates because the cancer cells can make energy from carbs easier than fat...or something like that. I am not sure if the Eukanuba has a lot of carbs or not, but she was on this to gain weight and now that she is a pudgy 2 pounds, so I thought I would look for something else. But, I do not want to put her back on kibble food because of the carbs and this gravy sounded like a good thing...especially since they said that it doesn't contain a lot of carbs, which are apparently not good for insulinoma kids as well. One more thing, I was hoping I could that I could get someone else to grind up the chicken for me, since I am a vegetarian and would have no other use for buying a meat grinder; does anyone know where this is done? I heard most grocery stores won't do this; do you think a specialty meat market might?
