Hi all, (my first post)
My cat is 13 months old and since we have had him (at 4 months old) he has been fed wet food (natures menu kitten pouches,) which he adored.
About 3 weeks ago we decided to change him to wet adult food, he started eating it ok to begin with, but was sick after a few days and he stopped eating it. Since then, we have tried roughly 10 different types of brands of wet cat food (including the kitten pouches he was brought up on) and he won't touch any of them.
The ONLY thing he will eat now are cheapy dry cat biscuits. So, we took him to the vets yesterday and she said that he looked healthy and she give him antibiotics 'just incase' She told us that there was no need to worry and he is probably just a fussy cat and told us only to put down a tablespoon at a time. If he a still the same in a weeks time to take him back. (She didn't say what she would do.)
We've done that yesterday and today and he still won't eat the wet. The thing is, i don't want to feed him on dry biscuits as my moms cat is male and nearly died because of dry food, (crystals, uti, etc) He even had to have his genitals removed.
So, i just wondered if anyone could give me any advice on what to do? I'm really worried about him, as he's only eating less than an a handful of biscuits a day (i won't give him anymore, as too scared.) I don't understand it, he used to love his 'natures menu' pouches, that's all he was brought up on.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for reading.
