What has worked foodwise for others dealing with FLUTD?
I found my sweet kitty at the pound 2 years ago, she's about 4 years old now. It took 2 vets and lots of tests to diagnose her with FLUTD.
When I brought her home she would only eat dry food even though I offered her wet food as well when my older cat ate his. She refused to eat the expensive dry food one vet prescribed as well as other special kibble for urinary infections. Her symptom that sent me to the first vet was urinating on the carpeting. That vet couldn't find anything wrong with her, no urinary tract infection. Second vet read results of first vet's testings & prescribed low dose antibiotic pills for 30 days. This stopped her inappropriate urinating for some time. She now is eating wet food and wants to eat 2 or 3 times a day & seems to feel better. Older male cat is gaining weight as he loves to clean up any food she leaves. Am now weaning her off antibiotics to one pill every 3 days.
Thanks for any suggestions
