Just heard back from the vets and they want him to start on W/D food now.

This is going to be chore but hopefully it will help him.

If it can be taken care of through diet, then Apollo is a very lucky kitty! Now, the Big Question: Will he eat it?

Yeah right

I guess we'll find out tonight when I get home. So far he's been great with taking his meds so that's good at least.

Not to be stupid, but what's W/D?

[Anikaca77]

Not a stupid question at all

It's Hills Prescription Diet W/D Formula

w/d® with Chicken Feline

Weight control, diabetic, and digestive support for cats prone to excess weight gain

Some cats can be more prone to gain weight than others. Weight problems can be successfully managed through changes in your cat's food.

At Hill's, nutritionists and veterinarians have developed clinical nutrition especially formulated to provide complete and balanced nutrition to manage cats prone to weight gain. Prescription Diet® w/d® also helps cats maintain normal blood glucose levels and promotes healthy digestion.

Oh, OK - I thought it was a Hill's product, and when I first came on this site I figured out what s/d was (Pinot's a Science Diet kid - dry & canned), but some terminology throws me sometimes! Thanks!

In any case...prayers for poor little Apollo! If it makes you feel any better, Pinot is a virus carrier kitty (respiratory-never really defined) and she is just fine! It took about 2 months, I think, before she got rid of all symptoms. You can do it Apollo!!

Turns out he hates the can food. He won't it. So I'm going to see about getting a dry formula.

This can never be easy.
