Neko, I forgot to ask the vet about bottled water. Did your vet recommend bottled water? She told me that most cats prefer Waltham over Hills diet food. So far Phoenix is not eating very much at all. He is going to be a very unhappy camper without his treats. I wonder if a few bites of chicken would be an ok treat. Just like before it was caught in the early stages. When I went to visit Phoenix in the ICU there was a cat with a much worse case of urinary crystals and very bloody urine. Poor baby!
