my big buddy (all eighteen pounds of him) is very succeptable to urinary tract infections. he has been to the vet three times in his life with near death crisis and then pulled through. it comes on so quickly. what i'm wondering is he is on medical preventive food which has totally ceased the attacks. now the vet is saying i can take him off the food as he over seven years old now and shouldn't stay on it. i haven't yet i am not comfortable doing this. i have seen my poor buddy so sick to many times and am afraid if i take him of this food he will have another attack which adds up to a 300 dollar bill also. he says older cats usually don't have the attacks but i am uneasy with this. has any one some advice with older cats on special food.. did you change it. buddy is now eight and still healthy and happy. thx
