My boy is almost three years old. I've been feeding all my cats Purina Indoors dry for years now with no problems. He just stared throwing up within the last year, and then his son started just recently. ( I do feed some canned food. Twice a day now, with added water.)
In August I started adding Wellness Core grain free dry and got to about a 50/50 mix. No more vomitting. Then I started experimenting with new canned foods higher up on the 'quality' scale. In late October Scooter got a urinary blockage that the vet said was mucus and not crystals. He has recovered very well and is back to being the active boy he was before. Except that he is still throwing up his dry food occassionally. No bowel problems.
I went back to what I was doing before Scooter got sick except for:
I hate to see Scooter and Chip losing their lunch so often.
Here are my questions..

I went back to what I was doing before Scooter got sick except for:
- I've purchased two water fountains (everyone is drinking more
- More wet food meals I can't feed more than 2x a day during the week
- I'm mixing in Purina One UT formula dry.
I hate to see Scooter and Chip losing their lunch so often.
Here are my questions..
- What causes mucus plugs?
- .Any suggestions on a dry food mixthat isn't going break the budget?
- I still want to switch to better canned food, should I wait until I get the dry food problem solved?
- How do I make my own cat grass?
