Has anyone been prescribed this food for their cat to prevent Triple Phosphate Crystals/Stones from forming in their bladder? Initially she was going to prescribe me S/D formula then moving to C/D formula, but she changed her mind to go with this G/D formula instead seeing as I have a wide range of cat ages in my house.
My vet says that she thinks there was an underlying infection present causing the stones to form, which is likely to have been cleared up by the anti-biotics she's been on for the last 2 weeks and will be on for another 8 days. (fingers crossed)
I asked her specifically about the water intake and she agrees that this is likely an issue and therefore she recommended moist food. The other vet recommended adding water to the moist food to make it something they lap up like a soup.
Most of what I've read out here was recommending Walthams and I was just wondering if anyone has had any luck with the Prescription Diet Formulas? I had brought home a bag of their R/D formula which all of my 6 cat collectively turned their noses up to and I'm a little concerned that they might do the same with this stuff.
