Pouncer again :(

[slick]

I'm sorry I didn't see this until now. I've been wrapped up in my own problems here.

Max get's crystals quite often and he really doesn't like the SD much but he will eat it because he knows there is nothing else available. Before Specks got so sick, I would do what Glacier does and give them both SD when only Max needed it.

Also at night I would crush up the SD into a powder and mix it in with the wet food. That seemed to help alot.

Good luck Pouncer and get a good boy and eat what you need to, OK??

My entire crew is also eating c/d. After several problem cats I came to realize that the cost of the food was better than the cost of treating the crystals/bladder stones/blockages.

If Pouncer has no choice, he WILL eat the food.

I hear that. All my cats ate C/D from 1997 till 1999, because Smokey needed it. They didn't seem to object!

If it's FLUTD (in Tigris case it is) then he doesn't need a diet as he doesn't form crystals. But water intake is important. I always add a teaspoon to Tigris' food.

Tigris had now no symptoms for one year (is there any wood I can knock on?)

How is little Pouncer today?

Oh no, poor Pouncer! Luna can relate to this, just a couple of days ago, she had a bad bladder infection again and is now on Marbocyl.

It's so hard with diets when you have more than one cat, it's the same here. Instead of a diet food, I have UroPet paste to mix it under Luna's wet food (good thing is that Lily only eats dry food). My vet also gave me a product called Astorin FLUTD-Aid, which is a little pill that tastes like cheese, and Luna eats it without problems.

Well, so far, so good. I've been out of town visiting my mom for a few days, and left hubby to care for Pouncer. I have not seen him straining to pee yet today, and right now he's intent of stealing my chicken sandwich I would say he's back to normal Boy that medicine takes effect quickly!

He LOVES the Hills CD. Thank God!!! I have been giving him 1/4 of the wet CD each night too while everyone gets their regular wet food. He seems quite happy and content to eat the wet CD in the same room as everyone else eating theirs, and he doesn't try to ignore his food to steal from them. I haven't even oipened the 20 pound bag of cat food yet... still working on the last 20 poound bag.... its gonna be a long time til I can put everyone on the same food.
