cprcheetah:
That's something I was looking at last night on the bag, the c/d has 0.35%, which of course I'm assuming is a small amount, however I don't know the specific amounts cats are supposed to have? lol
I am going to look at fountains! We tried one but he didn't seem to like it, or even...
Hi all,
So if you know my kitty's history (see my previous posts) you would know that he developed his first bout of struvite crystals. He is all good now but the vet has him on the Hills Prescription c/d dry food (because that is what he is used to) but I have incorporated in fancy feast...
Ritz: With my kitty, it's hard to think it was stress induced: he's always been jumpy, his whole life, but our routine has always been the same, as in sporadic. My husband works nights, I'm home all day usually but we also travel to our in-laws every now and then, but he's been used to that for...
So we went back to the vet today for my Kitty's follow up appointment.
Here is his history/story on where we started: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/268415/kitty-has-his-first-uti-what-to-do-from-here#post_3447522 (Male, neutered, almost 11yrs old)
But anyway, he has been doing a lot better...
LDG: I only have one kitty, so it's pretty easy to see how much he's eating. He also seems to just eat a little at a time, he doesn't overindulge. I thought that because he liked the wet food he's getting now he would start eating it all at once because he's excited to get it, but not really...
LaraLove:
That's what I plan on doing; possibly phasing it out in the future, but like I have said since this UTI and crystals just started, I want to give it time. He has been eating less of the dry though since he is eating the wet for a morning and dinner meal, but I still hear him crunch...
cprcheetah:
Thanks for the info! I have already checked out the catinfo site and it seems as though with his weight (12lbs) what I'm doing now is enough (2 of the small 3 oz. cans) I think. I will look over it again just to make sure. He seems to eat about half of the first can, it sits there...
Hi all,
I've recently posted about my kitty's first issue with a UTI and struvite crystals (read here): http://www.thecatsite.com/t/268415/kitty-has-his-first-uti-what-to-do-from-here
And also posted on what the best canned food would be (read...
cprcheeta: Thank you! I will keep an eye out on the carb and protein info in different brands, along with the no grains! I've read quite a bit on here that fancy feast isn't terrible? Not too sure though, but he seems to like the classic versions of it.
Raintyger: Thank you! I am hoping for...
Raintyger:
I have read a lot about dry food vs. wet food and what I'm going to do for now is keep the dry food but introduce wet into his diet so he can get comfortable. If anything, the wet food will incorporate more water into his diet so he's at least getting more than he is now. He's under...
Hi all!
My kitty just recently developed his first UTI and has struvite crystals. He's about 5 pills away from finishing his antibiotic and seems to be doing a lot better now, still not 100% but getting there!
(here is the original post about his...
Thanks Ondine, we plan on just keeping an eye on it, and hoping for the best. He hasn't had any issues previously, and this was his first bout with a UTI, otherwise he's always been really healthy. So we're hoping it's nothing to worry about!
-_aj_- : Thanks for the welcome! And yes, couldn't you just!? He gets mad at me for kissing him and hugging him all the time, but I keep trying to explain that it's his fault.
Hi all,
I am new here and just recently posted about my kitties visit to the emergency vet, and his normal vet for a UTI and sturvite crystals. (please read here for more info on that): http://www.thecatsite.com/t/268415/kitty-has-his-first-uti-what-to-do-from-here#post_3447522
But in my post...
FlintMcCullough: Thanks for your reply. Like I have said, I will incorporate wet food into his diet as well, but he has never eaten it so I have to go and get some and probably try many kinds to see if he'll even eat it. I will look into other dry food as well just to keep for nibbling...
Hi all! Introducing myself as well as my fur baby "Kiddy Boy". :) (original name I know lol) His name was Damien when we got him, but he wouldn't answer to that, so I changed it :)
He also has MANY nicknames (might make another thread for that one later)
This is my first time joining a cat...
