Hi, I've been writing all about our male cat Harry's medical problems on the Cat Health forum, but since he is home for now, I'm hoping you can
help me with his nutrition. We live in Ireland.
He has FLUTD and just got out of hospital today after weeks of being diagnosed. The catheter just came out last night. He's still on antibiotics/anti-inflams.
Have read lots of posts and will keep him on an all wet food diet. He weighs 10 lbs 3 oz (4.7 kg) Until Monday night, I am giving him Royal Canin C/D. Vet said
to then give him Hills (out of stock today)
They said 1 and a half pouch in morning and same amount again at night. The poor guy is really, really hungry.
Prior to being so sick the past 3 weeks,he ate one pouch of Felix and a little dry food in the morning----a little dry during the day, but not much---at night a little hard before he went out.
Maybe he wasn't getting enough in the hospital? Or maybe all the medicine he is on is making him hungry?
So far he hasn't used the litter box at all today since leaving the Vet....about 8 hours ago. That has me worried, but if he does go during the night, would I give him more food than the
1.5 they said to give him?
This is going to be a journey to get him well, so thank you for any advice. ..
