Hi,
New to the forum...
My 12yr old cat, Sputter has just recently been introduced to wet, canned food.
About 4 months ago, he had a problem going #2, and as a result, had a pertruding rectum (rectum came out), so we rushed him to a vet. E.R...
Since then, we have been keeping him on a laxative, and on wet food. He will probably be on laxative for the rest of his life. After about a month, we started mixing his dry food (science diet) with his wet, canned food, so that its a little clumpy. If its too dry, he begs for more wet food. He has gotten very commanding, and a little obsessive over his wet food.
My question is, will it be okay to ween him off of his wet food? Also, how do I do it? I've tried, but he just won't eat his food if it is dry, even though he's eaten nothing but dry food for 11 years.
I've heard that wet food is better [and more natural] for cats, but it is all he cares about now-adays.
THANKS!
