Hello, everyone!
My 3 year old male went to the vet a week ago, and she found crystals in his urine, so the vet prescribed him royal canin urinary s/o wet food. He resisted eating it at first, as he's been on kibble for as long as I've had him, but I convinced him to eat it by putting tuna juice on it and microwaving it. He started to eat it without the tuna, but not the two cans per day that the vet said to feed him. Keep in mind that he is a 16.5 lb cat. Not overweight, just a big boy. Now, today, he decides he won't eat it at all, no matter what I do to it. I worried that he hadn't eaten all day, so I put some of his old kibble on top out of desperation, but I don't want to aggravate the crystal situation, so I didn't put too much. He promptly marched over to the food bowl and ate the kibble, but not the wet food. I'm trying to switch him to wet food, as I know that is best for cats with crystals, but I'm having a really hard time convincing him. Please help!
