I have a senior cat, 17.5 yrs old. with kidney disease. He gets subcutaneous fluids 3 times a week as vet says this is the usual way to manage the disease along with a prescription diet. After trying several brands and flavors he will only eat one flavor and brand of dry food. Vet said he could have no more than 7g of protein a day (1 jar of baby food/ Beechnut brand (has no cornstarch)). He really likes it but is constantly begging for food. The dry food is left out around the clock for him to eat whenever he wants. It is nearly impossible to get a cat to eat strictly prescription food. I can't let him starve. I get the usual course is to stick to prescription, but he's acting hungry all the time. Is it really that detrimental to give them higher quality non-prescription wet food so they have enough to eat?
