Hello,
My 6 year old cat has been on Hills C/D dry for 3 years now. He refuses to
touch the canned (very few will as I understand). Several months ago he
became blocked up. The vet found a large amount of calcium oxalate crystals
in his urine. He had occasionally been "stealing" regular food from his sister
so I cut that out and kept him on the C/D.
He blocked up again last week. 5 days and $3300 later, he is home and
much happier. This time his urine had no crystals, but his bladder was full
of this "sludge". The new vet said they don't know what causes this (seems to
be the general concensus for FLUTD). The vet prescribed Royal Canin S/O.
So I will see where that takes us. My question - I couldn't get the Royal Canin
the night I brought him home since everyone was closed (my vet is 24 hour)
so I gave him some Purina Pro Plan Urinary Diet to hold him over. He actually likes this stuff.
(I had thrown out the remainder of the Hills earlier).
Does anyone have any experience with this food ? He actually liked the canned
food. I've seen a few positive reviews out there but nothing terribly professional.
