Figaro will be 4 years old in 4 months and so far hasn't had any illness. He's been fed homemade raw meal since kittenhood.
Recently, I've noticed increased urination in small volume and yesterday his urine was ever so slightly pinkish on the litter. He also seems to be drinking more water but then it is summer here in Australia and he's been out all day.
I remember reading this blog Tales from the Urinary Trenches: CatNutrition's School of Hard Knocks and started worrying. He normally pees outside in the backyard but when he does in the litter box, I was always awed by the size of his bladder. So I know something is not quite right. I should take him to the vet asap before it gets worse but knowing how much he detests going to the vet, a part of me wants to observe him a little longer and feed him Hill's s/d wet food in the meantime. But all I can find is c/d. Was s/d discontinued?
