Thanks Michelle.Luckily Mica isn't a CRF cat...but since I know the folks on that site from all their advice for my Quintapusand I know the folks on this site for their extraodinary help in placing Simms (a felv rescue) in a WONDERFUL home...I just cc-ed everyone.Thanks for the info!
Hello All.Sorry for the OT topic, but, I didn't get satisfactory answer from the vet so I'm turning to the experts!I have a rescue cat (ex-stray)...neutured male, felv fip neg., approx. 1-2 yrs. old. Very well behaved and very loveable (looking for a home by-the-way, great with dogs, kids
Hi Tamara,I had a similar case with a male cat that needed two antibiotics treatment within one week time spam. The vet put him on dry food "CD" for lifetime and was very good. If I remember well it comes in cans too. Meanwhile he was adopted and I stressed to his new parents not to change his
Thanks Ioana...that was one of the brands he refused to eat. That...the Science Diet and Royal Canin. (the ones the vet gave me are chicken based...he doesn't appear to like chicken- even in the canned food I gave him before finding he had this problem, unless its mixed with a majority of tuna).

him to S/D. He has gained so much weight and I wonder
if it is the food. Then I have read on here that
Hills isn't that good of a food and I
The thing I like about the s/o Royal Canin food is that it is a pH NORMALIZER - the s/d is given short term to dissolve the struvite crystals and it LOWERS the pH. I don't remember which food raises the pH to dissolve the oxalate crystals, but those haven't been a problem for us. Smoky has
EVO and raw food both seem to do very well for cats prone to crystals. Not
sure how they are for CRF kitties, though, as they are both high protein. I know
there is controversy over whether or not CRF kitties actually need low protein
or not, but I do not know more than that.
