I brought Snowball in to the veterinarian to check on the status of his urine. Back in June they found some crystals in his urine and he was put on Science Diet S/D. Lately, I've become concerned about his weight because it appeared that he was gaining weight on the S/D. Today he weighed 19.9 lbs versus 18.3 lbs back in June, so he has been switched over to W/D soft-food to help him lose weight. W/D has the same ingredients that prevent crystals in the urine as S/D, but with over half the fat. He'll have to stay overnight in order for the staff to get a urine sample, but that shouldn't be a problem as he has stayed overnight at the vet's before, and the staff just love him because he is very easy to work with. Knowing him, he'll probably give them headbutts and roll over to have his belly rubbed .
