Enzo (9 years old, neutered male) eats about 1 can of wet food per day. Sometime 1 1/2. Right now he is eating Merrick limited ingredient turkey and Natures Variety Instinct chicken. He doesn't eat dry food. He does get treats a few times a day (smart n tasty, chicken flavor). He has IBD and can't have grains or seafood.
He was just at the vet last week and had a urinalysis and full blood work. Everything was fabulous according to the vet (her word, not mine!)
The can says 1 can per 6 pounds of body weight. He is a little over 13 which if my math is correct means he should be eating at least two.
He is behaving totally fine, plays, has energy, no personality changes. His urine and poop output haven't changed. When he eats, he eats normally. He had most of his teeth removed a few years ago because of decay. The vet looked closely in his mouth last week and said it was fine. So I don't know if it's a matter of appetite, because he certainly seems to have one, I'm just nervous it's not ENOUGH of an appetite.
Has anyone had experience with their cat not always eating all of the recommended serving?
