Grady had an ultrasound on Thursday, and another urinalysis. He has crystals in his bladder - both calcium oxalate and triple phosphate. The specific gravity is high, but the pH is 6. Still a lot of hemolyzed blood present, but the color is not red any longer. It's dark orange.

So he needs to be on a special diet. Our Vet recommends canned food - it has lots more liquid that the dry variety, and he needs to dilute that urine.

Well, so far we have tried Hill's c/d Seafood flavor and Eukanuba Low pH/S. He won't even come near the bowl, even when it is mixed with lots of his favorite, smelly canned food. In fact, none of our 6 would touch either brand.

Candace, I told my Vet about the cranberry powder, and she has no problems with it. And I read an article I found in a post here from several years ago that advocated routine use of cranberry powder - as well as no dry food.

Does anyone have any suggestions re the refusal to eat the prescription cat food? I did buy a sampling of canned food from a pet store - will see if he likes any of them.
