The Royal Canin Urinary food is what he is on. Our vet said a couple of days on the wet, and then transition to dry. I tried dropping a couple pieces of the dry into the wet this morning, and it did help. He actually ate some. Or it could have been the fact that he was just hungry and ready to give in ) It just cracks me up that he is being such a snob about it, when my other two kitties are practically knocking me to the ground each morning to get at the wet food I have been giving them! I will pick up some tuna on my way home tonight - and see if that helps at all.
He has been doing well with drinking water, from what I observe. He always has been a great drinker, part of the reason this all surprised us. I went ahead and ordered them a drinking fountain (Drinkwell Platinum I think?) that should be here by Wednesday. Our vet seems to think that we should only use the RX food for about 5 or 6 months, but I'm inclined not to switch back. I never want this to happen again! And really, when one compares the price of the Urinary food to the Blue Buffalo we had been feeding, it really isn't that big of a deal. Certainly less than the cost of PU Surgery!!
Oh - we have been giving my other two his dry food, since I want to banish any chance of him sneaking a bit of the old stuff. They are both domestic short hairs, one is 11, the other 16. The switch to the Urinary Formula shouldn't pose a risk to them, correct? I haven't had a chance to ask the vet yet.
Thanks bunches!! Here is my recovering buddy - trying to avoid me this morning when I had the amoxicillian dropper in my hand ) Dude, I can totally reach the top of the toilet! I can't wait for all his fur to grow back - his tail just doesn't look right!
