Since December when Ramsay had a bout of "idiopathic cystitis" I've been feeding all of the cats 1/4 cup of dry food (Natural Balance Duck and Green Pea due to Gus's allergies) and 2-3 oz of grain free canned a day. Well now I have Gus and Ramsay both with a UTI this week. Gus has been peeing quite a bit of blood for 2 days now, and Ramsay has just been straining to pee a lot. Fortunately neither were blocked when we took them in, but they were both given Clavamox and Bupronex. She also suggested that I feed them more low carb wet food and strongly suggested I cut the dry all together.
So, I'm interested to know what other people's experiences are. Will switching to 100% wet make a noticeable difference? What wet foods are people feeding successfully with FLUTD and UTI prone cats? If possible I'd like to avoid the prescription foods because Gus can't eat them anyway with the allergies.
Thanks.
