Sorry for posting this again or having another one of these posts you guys must read all the time.
Some background:
10 month old ragdoll, male, 12lbs.
He had crystals and really concentrated urine a month ago so we put him on an all wet diet and we added water to his food every time to make it 'soupy'. We were feeding him 1 5.5oz can a day with treats, freeze dried chicken flakes on top, or 1/4-1/2 of the 3oz cans at night if he was still hungry.
His urine came back crystal free but it was very very dilute, and the vet said to stop adding water to his food. Now that we've started that, he seems to be more hungry (because there's less water to take up room in his stomach I'm assuming) and after we feed him his 1/2 can in the morning, he'll jump onto the counter and look for more food or rummage through the recycling box at old cans we've cleaned! Should we feed him more food now that he's got less volume with the water taken out?
Is 5.5oz + treats enough for him? I feed a rotation of Organx, Halo, Max Cat, Authority, Simply Nourish, Purina One, and whatever is on sale that meets my criteria for protein/fat/carbs and phosphate contents.
Thanks!!!
