So all of sudden my cat Orion has decided he wants nothing to do with his Royal Canin SO (for FLUTD).
Last Saturday he was cleared for having any crystals in his urine, but still had a small amount of bacteria, so they gave us some antibiotics.
On Monday we noticed he hadn't eaten any of his dinner from the night before, so we kept him on watch, we tried to give him more of the Royal Canin SO and hoped that he would eat his dinner.
Yesterday morning comes and he hadn't eaten but a few pieces from his food. I called the vet and they told us to take him off of the antibiotics and try to feed him canned fish or baby food, So later yesterday night we went to a few stores bought a ton of stuff including: electrolyte water mix stuff, high cal paw lick stuff and a few different types of baby food, canned fish, and a single pouch of wellness, in hopes he would eat, Orion started to eat a pouch of Wellness I got him, (turkey and chicken), He ate it like he had never eaten before, first a few bites from my hand and then later from the filled bowl.
Today because he was eating so well last night I decided to try and give him the Royal Canin SO again, and he looked at me like I had just broken his heart
... We did also use a water syringe to give him some of the electrolyte water because we want to make sure dehydration doesn't happen.
On another note, my boyfriend and I are probably going to take him in anyway to get some fluids under his skin to make sure he is hydrated (better safe than sorry). I'm just hoping that we can figure out a way to help him get the SO down enjoyably for him.
