Hello,
I have a 4 year old male cat, he has been on wet food (merrick) for a year or more now because he was on dry kibble (acana) since he was a kitten but as of last year just one random day he got pancreatitis, he had constipation, he wasn't eating, he would vomit quite a bit and whole pieces of food would come up, and he was lethargic. The vet had to give him Subq (Subcutaneous) injections to hydrate him, and he had some pills to make him wanna eat. After that, he was eating again and we put him on wet food due to the moisture content, he also used to drink alot of water while on dry food as well but he was still dehydrated. Since being on wet food he has been healthy, and everything has been good for him.
I was just wondering, does this mean he can't eat dry food and has to be on wet food all his life or are there brands that won't do that to him?
