Garfunkel's at the e-vet again, for bloody urine. We were dumping the boxes and cleaning them out - brought them back in and he jumped in immediately without waiting for new litter. Thank goodness, because I was able to notice two dark red urine spots with overall orangeish color in most of the urine.
Good thing is he's still peeing - last year (June or July I think) I didn't notice until he was going in and out of the box multiple times without peeing.
We haven't seen the doctor yet but the tech told us we need to talk to the vet about a special diet. I think it's usually Hills that is recommended, correct? I'm worried about the overall quality of the food e.g. corn, wheat, etc. I think Hills is pretty gross when it comes to that stuff. They are still eating dry grain-free mostly. They do get wet occasionally. I've been meaning to transition them back over to wet for awhile.
Obviously his urinary health is of utmost importance and I know rx foods are effective but I'm worried about long term especially with weight - Garfunkel is the least fat of my fatties, but all of them need to lose a bit of weight according to their regular vet. Any insight or suggestions?
