About six months ago, my oldest girl, Bitsy developed a UTI and pancreatis. After she had recovered from this, the vet suggested I switch to a healthier food for my cats. Purina Indoor Complete or Purina Urinary both are dry foods was recommended. I started buying one bag of each and mixing them.
In December, 2013, I rescued another of the strays from outside. Dusty went to the vet for shots, worming and neutering. At this time he weighed 9#. Since then he has slowly gotten bigger. I took him to the vet about two weeks ago. He weighted 13# and now has a low thyroid. He has been on daily medication for over a week. His activity level has improved a lot. I used to free feed but no longer. Dusty is not an overly big cat but is muscular. I'm concerned about his weight and wonder if I am still not feeding the right food. I can not afford to buy five different kinds of food and the last thing in the world I want is for my babies to be sick. There has to be something that is better for ALL of them to eat. Can anyone suggest a better choice of food? Thanks everyone!
