Our Hermione is 14 and had a UTI back in May. It took a couple rounds of antibiotic to clear up, and the vet put her on prescription food because her PH was low. We checked her urine after a week of being on the prescription food, and her PH was normal, but still a trace of blood. So vet said to keep her on the prescription food for a month and then retest her urine to see how she’s doing.
The problem is she HATES the food. She hated the Purina UR both wet and dry. She seems to like the Hill’s better, but it’s a chore to get her to eat it. She wants to eat what our other cats are eating and doesn’t like being in the bathroom to eat this weird food. Last night she woke me up in the middle of the night twice and reluctantly ate the prescription food. I think she was famished.
Because she’s 14 and already lost half a pound from when she had a food allergy (it’s amazing this weird food hasn’t tripped off her allergies), so we want her to EAT and not lose more weight.
Any advice? Are there other ways to balance PH? We really don’t want her on this food forever, anyway!
