Hello,
I have a 2-year-old, ~7-pound cat that has had issues with litterbox usage these past few months. He uses the litterbox around 18-25 times a day (according to his Litter-Robot) and I found blood in his urine just last month. Numerous vet visits later, they have ruled out Kidney Stones, FLUDT, and UTI. He's been prescribed Prednisone multiple times and it does actually work (bringing litterbox usage down to 4-6 times a day) but it only works for as long as he's on it. As soon as he runs out of the medication, he's back to 12+ times a day two days later.
They currently suspect food could be to blame for these issues. He's currently eating Sheba pate once in the morning and once at night. He also has Tiki dry food available in a dish for whenever he needs it (lunch, snacking).
They are recommending that I change the dry food out with something that has 33% protein or LESS. They have also prescribed Prednisone again to be taken for the next 2-3 weeks.
They also recommended Coasmine for cats to be mixed with his wet food.
Anyway, the reason for my post is to see if anyone has any recommendations for dry food around 33% protein? I've been researching catfooddb.com to find a replacement and all of their top choices for dry food seem to be in the 40-70+% protein range.
Thank you in advance... it feels really awful to see my cat struggle the way he has these past few months.
