We've been having some issues with Forest peeing outside his litterbox, so we went to the vet yesterday to get checked out. She found a few crystals in his urine. Fortunately, there weren't many, so there's still time to fix this before it becomes a big problem.
The vet recommended that we get him onto a urinary health food that includes DL-methionine. Forest's been getting the Nutro Complete Care pouches. They already include DL-methionine. However, he's been getting the fish formulas about half the time. I found out from the vet, though, that fish can cause crystals. Needless to say, ALL the fish formula food in the house was packed up and exchanged for non-fish food last night.
Do you think that taking him off the fish formulas will be enough? Or is there a better food to get him on? Because of his disability, he has trouble eating the squishy kind of wet food...he does much better with the "chunky" kind.
