Hello,
Firstly, I want to thank all the contributors to this forum. I use this site quite often as an anonymous user and find the information tremendously helpful.
My cat Ryu was blocked last year and had the PU surgery to widen his urethra (after failed catheter attempts). He and his sister (who doesn't have crystals) are both on the Hills C/D diet and have been for the last year.
I have been reading a ton about dry food being bad.
That said, Ryu and his sister share a 2.9oz can of the Hills CD stew a day.
Once in the morning and for dinner they each get 1/4 of the can with 1/4tsp of canned pumpkin, 1tbsp of water, and for Ryu, 1/4tsp of D-Mannose powder
They share 3/4 -1 cup of Hills C/D Dry stress food daily that I give in 3-4 servings throughout the day so I can monitor the free feeding. I sometimes moisten the dry food if I know they are going to eat it right away.
Ryu is 12 lbs
Ibuki is 9 lbs
That said, I was hoping to continue to increase their wet food intake so they possibly both could eat 1 can of the 2.9oz Hills CD stew daily with possibly 1/2 cup or less of the Hills C/D dry daily, but the cost of the 2.9 oz cans is quite high so I was wondering if there were any good wet food suggestions that I could use to supplement the Hills C/D Stew. Perhaps even feed them a 3rd meal with a different brand. I certainly will eat the costs if need be if its a bad idea to mess with their food, but figured I would ask the experts first.
Thank you for your help.
