You’ve been super helpful. Thank you. I play with him but not consistently enough. I am going to start start doing this. And that makes sense regarding the food. Random question but did you have pet insurance when getting the procedure? It’s probably too late but I’m uneducated on how that...

The vet put him on Purina Pro plan urinary dry food. He has struvite crystals. I was also mixing half of the diet with wet food. We were only doing this for about a week because his last blockage was just around a week ago. I talked to an online vet and they said “he is on prescription food...

Hi I don’t know when you’ll see this. But my boy has been having this problem for the past two months. Now on our third blockage. I am feeling so helpless at times and just lost on what to try. What brand of corn silk do you use? And you had to get a prescription for the gabapentin I’m sure...

Great idea, thank you :)

Thank you to everyone who replied. Lots of great advice and many things that I will be looking into. I finally got the records from the emergency vet and those have been somewhat helpful at getting a little more insight. I called them to clarify a few things and told them that he had another...

Just thought I would post a little update on the current situation with Remi. He has been moderately interested in his wet food and I’m just glad he is trying it. He doesn’t really eat much of it though (mostly licking the gravy/ flavor). I know it will be awhile until he digs in more and...

Summary of what has been going on with my boy and his urinary obstruction. A little over two weeks ago we had to bring him to the emergency vet because he was completely obstructed and having no output at all. They resolved it and determined it was a urinary crystal. They gave him IV fluids...

Yes it’s good that we already have the scheduled feedings down. I am going to start with the wet food in 2 days because that’s when Remi will be finished with the medication he got from the vet. I didn’t want to start him too early and risk him not taking the meds because I’ve been mixing it in...

@lisahe and @Box of Rain you have made good points and given me lots to consider! I agree that what he ends up eating may not be my first choice but as long as he tolerates some wet food I will feel better regarding his health (one of the big reasons I’m making the switch is to prevent urinary...

Your replies are very helpful! I will definitely check out the article and take a look at the reviews and ingredients. Thank you!

Hi! I am preparing to switch from dry to wet food. I am anticipating that it may take up to several months to make the switch as I have a very stubborn boy who loves his dry food and did not take to wet food in the past. Knowing this, I am anticipating having to waste a good amount of wet food...

I’m about to begin the transition from dry to wet food as well. I’ve done a lot of research. I will link this article which has seemed to have the most helpful information I’ve come across so far. Big take away is to have lots of patience and out-stubborn your cat lol. It may take several months...

Thanks for your helpful replies! I will be ordering normal dishes :)

My boy Remi recently had a urinary obstruction caused by a urinary crystal. I know how important diet is in terms of prevention. I actually tried to switch him over to wet food a year ago before all this happened but he was quite stubborn and I caved after two weeks. I’ve done lots of research...

Great, I will move his bowls. Thanks you!

We just brought home our new puppy yesterday. Our two cats are still adjusting. One of our cats is fine with being around Ollie (new pup). Our other cat is pretty scared and has mostly been hiding. We have not forced any introductions. We are just letting the cats adjust at their own pace. All...

Thank you to everyone who replied! Lots of useful info :)
