Hiya smnisbet
I really wouldnt reccomend anyone advising someone to get their cat steroids or antibiots. They are drugs which should only ever be given under a vets instructions. Some conditions could contraindicate the antibiots and steroids your suggesting, a cat may already be on another treatment and the combination of drugs could prove fatal.
A cat fed a properly balanced raw diet, shouldnt ever need supplementing with antibiotics or steroids!
Also, I really wouldnt reccomend someone starting out on a raw diet to just buy items from the supermarket and hope for the best. Getting a properly balanced diet for a cat is quite an art, and to get it wrong can have devestating effects.
I make my own cats diets now, however thats after years of study and my experience in the science and veterinary field.
I would suggest anyone thinking of switching to an exclusively raw or almost fully raw diet to buy their diet pre-made from one of the reputable companies available on the internet. foood 4 cats being one of the best i believe.
I hope i havent offended you, thats not my intention. But I do think advising about veterinary prescription drugs for a raw diet is not only uneccessary but potentially very dangerous.
