Our cat Lilly was just diagnosed with severe case of HCM and has gastro issues as well. We are finally on the right track with her thanks to changing vets. She has trouble chewing and is in need of a dental but due to her recent diagnosis of HCM the vet wants to wait on the dental. We need a regular food similar in texture to Hills A D or Royal Canin Recovery. Lilly has been having no trouble eating Hills A D.
