Poor Pete!

I know EXACTLY what you mean about trying to get hom to eat only the SD and nothing else --- good luck with that! Sounds like my Pouncer is idiopathic too.

As for Baytril, I seem to remember someone saying it has a bitter taste and its best not to crush it up in their food because then they won't eat the food. Of course I could be mixing that up with another antibiotic, so I could be wrong about the bitterness.

If Pete doesn't like the SD, ask the vet about Eukanuba's version, Pouncer LOVED it. I had little to no faith he would even eat it, let alone devoutr it and beg for more! We finished the last round of crystals, and I still had some food left and now its his nightly treat... yes, TREAT! Pouncer LOVES the Eukanuba version of the Hills SD. So if Pete goes on a hunger strike, you might try that.
