I have had my rescue cat 6 months. We already know that he has deformed kidneys but also would frequently stop eating and drinking which had nothing to do with that problem. After putting him through all kinds of tests over a period of 5 months, medicating him, and then trying different wet foods, my vet said, let's try something. She did not medicate him this last time. She said stop feeding him wet food entirely - just the Royal Canine Renal dry formula.
Well, it has been one month, and he has not been sick, drinks often from the water fountain and finishing the Dry Royal Canine Renal Formula every day. I am so glad she would rather experiment a bit rather than medicate him or put him through any more tests as he got so stressed out, it took a toll on his little body.
Since he is only on the dry food, he is more active and much more bouncy. He actually looks and acts as if he feels better now.
I had tried all kinds of wet food, even the natural ones called Schesir which got such a high rating. I got desperate and even tried to make him homemade food, but he threw up all the time or just stopped eating entirely.
Anyway, I do feel a bit guilty feeding him only the renal, but he is happy and eating very well. My vet told me to do what works. He needs to eat and drink. Keep watching him. He may be allergic to something in canned foods.
I wonder if anyone ever heard of this?
