A blessing for my cat!
This product was recommended by an emergency veterinarian when my cat who has either irritable bowel disease or lymphoma stopped eating for about five days. After some fluids & baby food they started her on this which she promptly gobbled up and continues to gobble up. She is on prednisolone for the inflammation in her bowels, which seems to be working, but she developed three days of diarrhea from the side effects of the medication. She still continued to eat, but I could tell she was getting weary and was having diarrhea almost every two hours. I was afraid she was getting dehydrated. I spoke with my vet and got her a probiotic, and I had two containers of the Churu Veterinarian packets that came. I basically let her have as many packets as she wanted for the first 24 hours.Not only is the tapioca in there good for people who have irritable bowel disease, and to curb diarrhea, it is less solid than other wet cat foods, ie more moisture. She is getting more fluids. Within 24 hours she turned around. But I would really like to point out the excellent, excellent customer service from this organization! The original order that I put in appeared to have been lost and Vet RX Direct promptly answered an inquiring email that I had sent and were able to help me get another order out immediately! I will definitely continue to use them for my future Veterinarian needs. Their prices are also competitive. A special shout out to Grayson, the customer service representative, who I dialogue with in a couple of emails. He was very understanding and very professional! This company was recommended to me by my personal Veterinarian.

They sent me Churu that's about to expire...
I normally buy this on other sites this is my first time here. I went ahead and purchased 2 jars of these. A month later I notice they are about to expire. When I have ordered these in the past they have months if not a year. Not 1 month. Had I known I wouldn't have purchased 100.... waste of money. Not mad at product mad at vetrxdirect. Beware when buying alot.

The Best Churu Out There
From UndisclosedComments about Churu Veterinarian Formula 50 Nourish TubesWhether it's as an appetite stimulant (for our cats who have been underweight or suffering from digestive issues) or just as a treat / medication delivery aid, these particular Churu tubes have been amazing. We order them exclusively here, and have probably gone through 20+ containers over the years -- can't recommend them highly enough!-
Fizzgig's favorite! In moderation, helped to maximize his appetite to get him into a healthy weight range.

A love of Churus will extend my cat's life!
From UndisclosedComments about Churu Veterinarian Formula 50 Nourish TubesThanks to Churus, my cat will take his meds to slow down renal disease. He loved Churus before and luckily still loves them - but now he's gets one at breakfast and dinner. As he is insanely picky, I am thrilled that he devours the Churu and the powdered medicine.-

I noted that there is green tree extract in this product. I have a cat on chlorambucil. Green tea can interact with some chemo therapy drugs. Is this product safe to use with chlorambucil??
-
The compounds found in green tea may have both inhibitory and inducing effects on various enzymes involved in drug metabolism. These effects may increase or decrease the drug levels in the system and lead to resistance of certain drugs when taken with green tea. Theoretically, the compounds found in green tea may have an adverse effect on the class of drugs that includes chlorambucil. It is not known whether the green tea extract found in Churu Veterinarian Formula will interact with chlorambucil. Speak to your veterinarian prior to adding Churu Veterinarian Formula to your cats medication profile.
