Hi, I've been reading on here how science diet isn't a great cat food after all. Well I'm about to get mad again at my old vet
. About a year and a half ago I took in my cat, Tyler, for a UTI, spent over 200 dollars on him, they had to insert a catheter and drain his bladder because he was blocked up and couldn't urinate, He was very sick and I was heart broken over the situation. They sent me home with a bag of science diet specially formulated for cats with urinary problems and said I had to put him on that diet for the rest of his life or he could get very sick again. six months ago my poor baby got sick again, even though I was feeding him only science diet for urinary tract problems, and the dumb vet(different vet same vet office) wouldn't examine him because he was hissing at her and growling at her. She was scared, I offered to take him out of the cage and hold him, she said no, that sometimes they can attack their owners too
which I thought was so stupid because first of all he was in a lot of pain, of course he wasn't happy, and she didn't seem to know what she was doing and was nervous and he could probably sense that. Well she sent me home with some antibiotic for the uti because she only went by what i told her without doing an exam. 2 days later he was even worse, poor thing couldn't even walk, he was throwing up, wouldn't eat or drink water. of course i took him back, it was the vet that examined him the first time(a yr before) and they needed to do the same thing with the catheter. I left him there, 2 hrs later got a call from the vet tech saying he was too blocked up and they couldn't get the catheter in. The only options we had was to do a surgery that would cost over 7,000 dollars or to put him to sleep. I of course didn't have the money so I had to have them put him to sleep. I was devastated. I loved him so much and I still miss him. He knew I was sad though and less than a week LATER he sent my misty to my back door, he was a great angel to send her to me
. My tyler always wanted me to be happy lol
My question is the science diet food didn't help at all did it? The vet had my trust so of course I listened to her when she told me to feed him science diet.
But I've seen some posts where people have said it's grainy, which caused him to get blocked up I know.
