Since I want to be sure that my furkids get plenty of moisture and water in their diet, I've been feeding them a wet and dry food mixture and I've also recently started putting a little bit of dry food out for free feeding. I've noticed that Sky and Pearl seem to prefer dry food but will eat wet food if they have to so hopefully CJ will do the same. I sure hope that his will help his diarrhea problem. I also think that giving him feline greenies is a great idea. I think that they come in about 4 different flavors so hopefully there's one that's right for CJ. Mine love them. Good luck.
