Hi All,
Wanted to get some opinions and thoughts. We have a male cat named Cody who is 6 years old. In 2006-2007 he had some issues going to the bathroom, numerous times they told us he had struvite crystals in his urine, told us to put him on a urinary tract food, we tried a few different kinds, purina one, etc etc. They also gave us the jelly looking stuff, forget what it was called. methoinine or something. In January of this year he was completely blocked, we rushed him to the emergency vet, he ended up with a cathether to remove the block and they flushed his system, gave him an IV etc, spent 2 nights in the hospital. After that the vet told us to put him on Science diet c/d multicare. I've read all the stories, not the best food, vet makes a ton of profit etc. I'm very very hesistant to switch him as I feel a not so good quality food may be best if it controls his condition. Do you all agree? I'm worried to switch him and have him end up in the same boat. I've tried to get him to eat wet food with no success, he just paws at it like it's you know what trying to cover it up..
haha.. I've tried putting a little on top of the dry food, tried different brands, nutro etc, no dice. He does have two of the water fountain things he loves. Any advice is appreciated, what do you guys and gals think?
