My mom's cat, Kitty, was diagnosed with FUS about 5-6yrs. ago, and was put on Science Diet C/D (dry) for it. Since this time, he has had to have I think 3-4 teeth removed. He's now 13, and seems to be having a hard time eating his dry food now. He's also the kind of cat that likes to eat a little food, leave it, come back later, eat some more, etc.
The reason I'm mentioning this is because we have 2 other, younger cats that try to eat Kitty's food when he doesn't finish it, so we're constantly having to put it away while the 2 younger cats are out.
So I'm thinking that maybe if we switch him to an all wet, or mostly wet food diet, he might be able to eat the food easier, and may even finish it faster. We've given him wet food as a treat before, and he ate it, so I don't think he'll turn his nose up to it.
The only problem is that since he is on the C/D, I'm thinking the only wet food he should have is the wet version of the C/D, which I can only get at the vet, or with a vet's perscription somewhere else (which my vet of 15 years won't give us, don't ask, we're planning on switching sometime soon
).
So I guess my question is, is there any other brand of wet/dry food that can be fed to cats with FUS? Thanks!
