Recipe for Eepie Bites

“Eepie Bites” is the recipe I formulated for my cleft palate kitten. Eepie ate this gelatin-based food very well and it did not cause him to aspirate. That said, cleft palate kittens are at risk for aspiration when they eat. Always monitor your cleft palate kitten carefully during meals. This recipe is for informational purposes and not intended to replace advice given to you by your veterinarian.
