Its been about 2 years since I came here. I didn't know I was a member at this forum. Anyway, one of my cats (7 yr old male) Tiger has intermittent diarrhea for awhile. After noticing his stool was loose for a week I called a vet. Since I don't drive, I found a mobile animal van that goes to your place and they have a well equipped big van for animals. I collected a stool sample. I went into the van to see how they examined Tiger, took his weight at 10 lbs complete. The vet says it was a good weight. I wanted blood results along with fecal test, the tech drew 4 vials of blood from him. Two days later the vet called me and says "good news" the fecal test was negative and blood test were normal.. Although she prescribed canned food for him. Its called Royal Canin gastroinstinal canned food. They will ship from their facility next week.
Has anyone tried this brand of cat food?. Well I looked online for the Petco site and see what Royal Canin has in their food. After reading the ingredients and was perplexed. I have read many labels of cat food and this label don't make sense. I looked under Analysis: Crude Protein (min.) 6.0%, Crude Fat (min.) 1.5%, Crude Fiber (max.) 2.0%, Moisture (max.) 84.5 . whats the deal with the low percentage of Protein, fat and fiber but has moisture at 84.5. why is this food need a prescription. I thought that it will more protein, fiber. But the water in the food is astonishing. Am I missing something?
