Hi Guys
Our little Yuki has had a hard week (and so have we). We took her in for vomiting this past Wednesday and it turned out she was impacted. She's still at the vets, but at the last possible moment yesterday before seriously discussing the $1500 operation with the vet, her bowels started moving (I
Barium). We'll still have to wait to see what she ate to get her stuck so badly.
Anyway, she's still moving along and we should get her back probably Monday at this rate. The vet told me to get a high fibre diet set up for her to come home to. Fortunately we are at the end of a bag of dry. I went to the pet store today and chatted up the very knowledgeable lady there. She suggested Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul senior/hairball formula, since they already like it in wet. It's fibre is 8%. Does that sound about right? Any other suggestions? We were previously feeding Taste of the Wild.
In addition to this, I'd like to state my extreme jealousy over the prices for cat food in the states...having read some of the other posts tonight.
My 6lb bag of dry today cost $15.00, and the cans run me about $1.25 each for the Chicken Soup brand. Big bag is $40.00, so it's pretty comparable to what we were paying for Taste of the Wild.
Thanks for advice/suggestions/comments.
