Last monday I noticed my black kitty Eridan couldn't pee and was so distressed, we rushed him to the vet in the morning and they kept him there until Thursday (a day longer than planned) and it ended up being $700 from their $500 estimate...he was flushed twice and they sent him home because the poor boy was freaking out way too much and he barely ate the entire time I think (came back much skinnier). Apparently one of the causes is from dry food...now...I've been tossing around the idea of raw food so I gave it to them as a treat maybe once a week, their diet was still mostly kibble. The vet recommended switching to canned food only and tried to put him on a science diet prescription food, but the ingredients are TERRIBLE compared to what I feed now! Pork by products as the first ingredient on the ocean fish flavor? ***?! I went out and got canned wellness, innova, and authority brands and the she got so offended when I explained that I didn't think SD was the best food, calling my proposed raw & quality canned feeding unhealthy. >:I
Is my plan better? Any of you deal with this situation before? I also went out and got a cat fountain (which they all LOVE) for improved hydration and will be almost completely phasing out kibble feeding in the future.
