Hi everyone.
Today I took my 11-year old cat to the vet after I noticed he was breathing weird…quicker than usual. I was told he had congestive heart failure. They are keeping him for a few days and then will send him home with medication. They said he might have another year or so.
I am now trying to figure out what the best wet food to feed him when I bring him back home. The problem is that he's had UTI's and so I need a food that is both low sodium and high protein (for his cardiovascular health) but also one that has low pH (for his urinary tract health). I seem to only find foods that specialize in one or the other….but can't seem to find one that has both. Any suggestions??
Also, I read that giving him supplements such as Taurine, L-arginine, and acetyl L-carnitine is helpful. But do I get these at a regular Vitamin Shopp type of store? Or are there some specifically designed for cats?
Many thanks in advance!
