Your vet probably won't know anything about raw diets. Vets don't learn very much about cat nutrition when they are is college. Companies like Hill's Sciene Diet and Iams give kickbacks to vets who use their food, which might end up being the wrong food. You need to be informed before you go to the vet know matter what the topic is and so you can ask the right questions. Researching beforehand will give you knowledge the vet might not have and so you will know what the vet is talking about. Vets are like human doctors. They make mistakes. To me a good vet is one who will listen to what I have learned online and consider what I have said, and hopefully research online too before considering if I am wrong or to give me new info. Please don't ever give Metacam again. It only takes one dose to effect your cat badly. Your cat's life is at stake and the vet probably doesn't know about the side effects of Metacam. I am making sure that my cats' medical records know not to give Metacam. i don't want to take the chance. Why take the chance when there are safer pain meds out there. Remember power is knowledge.
