Hello,
I'm hoping some of you feline experts may be of some help with suggestions regarding a cat I am fostering.
She is around 10-11 years old with mild hypertension, on Norvasc 5mg 1/4 t sid. She also has a history of
urinary crystals so must eat either Hill's C/D or RC S/O. Add to that, she has chronic yeasty (black granules)
ears. No one will adopt this poor kitty. She is so lovely and still so youthful. As soon as they hear a pill once a day,
they run the other way.
My questions are the following, does anyone have any food recommendations that are appropriate for the crystals
but also hypo-allergenic to prevent these constant ear flare-ups? Please don't suggest the vet. I work for one and
this is where she came from. She was surrendered to us as we are also the council pound.
If I return her she will likely be euthanized if no one adopts her. :-( I am seeking alternative suggestions.
My other question, we are in Australia and will be returning back to the U.S. in a few months. We are considering
adopting her but really don't know how well she would do on such a long-haul flight in cargo for 20+ hrs considering
all her health issues.
Someone at work suggested sub-cut fluids just prior to boarding which I think is one common sense approach to
the possibility of doing this.
Thanks so much in advance.
