[Felvtalk] Update on Lucky
Hi - just to update everyone, little "Lucky" that was tossed out of the car and hit the windshield of my granddaughter's friend, Rachel, seems to have fully recovered, and even made friends with another of Rachel's rescues, a black lab dog. My granddaughter Toni sent me a picture of the two of them looking into each other's face with the dog on the couch and Lucky up on the back of the couch.

Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Lucky
I used to use RC extreme hairball as a treat, but worried about the chicken feathers, also they do have grains in some of their foods and since we are all allergic to grains, that leaves RC out.

Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Lucky
Bonnie, Thanks for the update. Cats like Royal Canin SO much better than Hills CD, but get him on all canned food as soon as you can. Wellness is known for causing urinary problems. My Polar Bear, who is my FLUTD cat, eats canned Fancy Feast and Friskies. Not the best canned food, but at least he eats it. He was a dry food junkie, and I had a very hard time getting him on canned only. I now add a lot extra water to it, and sprinkle just a few dry kibbles on top, and he eats it. All this I learned in the FLUTD group. BTW - Wow what a vet bills!! But our cats are worth every penny of it.

Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Lucky
You will have to do what I resorted to, put food out in the am and pm and after an hour, take it up. I used to leave food in the bowls all day but Dee and Homey would continue to eat all day and are now over weight. The only way to get them back into shape is withhold the food. Got to do that for myself. Can;'t have oreos in the house because they call me to come and eat them. They are my comfort food when I start feeling down.

Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Lucky
Thanks, Margo (and everyone who helped). Lucky actually ate the RC s/o diet tonight! And he is at least going out to the cat boxes in the garage rather than trying to pee in the house. We have some anti-inflammatory to help with his "urgency" I hope. Hopefully we're crossing a bridge toward better health for Lucky! I know I can feed him separately, the problem is, the other cats still eat the dry food, and I need to keep him out of it. Wish us well!

The great news is Lucky's blood work looks real good, as do his x-rays (he does have some arthritis in his back). He has no apparent blockages (tumors) in his urinary tract. They did not see any crystals. The vet did say his bladder is very small and looks very inflamed. So they gave him a shot of an anti-inflammatory/anti-pain med (a good thing, he calmed down a lot, which is good to see), gave him anti-biotic (suspected u.t.i.), anti-inflammatory and an ocular anti-biotic/steroid for his runny (herpes) eye. Poor little dude, he sure went through a lot today! Now he's home, getting re-acquainted with the other cats and chilling. Looks like I've got a FLUTD feline here. They gave me a prescription for another type of special food (Royal Canine) which I'll try (he hates the CD). Fingers crossed. Thank you all for your words of advice, help, suggestions and encouragements. Lucky thanks you too!

Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Lucky
Hi Bonnie, Since there was no evidence of crystals, Id just go for a high meat canned food (like the EVO 95% varieties), without the acidifiers. Using that could incline him towards oxylate stones, which are much more difficult to deal with.

Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Lucky
Thanks! I feel better about my RC. It's a minor part of their diet, but I don't feed them the hypoallergenic dog food that's made from feathers .I researched the science behind the hydrolyzed hypo-allergenic foods when I had a dog with issues, so I understand some of that. I misunderstood, and thought that the contention was that their chicken meal is made of feathers. Thanks for clearing that up :) Margo p.s.

Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Lucky
Hi Bonnie, All in all, I'd say that's good news. I try to avoid dry food, but the RC SO is what I have for those times someone is stubborn or insistent on dry food. They like it :) I haven't tried the canned, for wet food I use EVO, Hounds and Gatos, and others with basically meat only. That's pretty much what I use for everyone. Canned is altogether better than dry for any cat. Hope all the meds make him feel much better, soon.

We spent a lot of time (and almost $500) at the vet today. The great news is Lucky's blood work looks real good, as do his x-rays (he does have some arthritis in his back). He has no apparent blockages (tumors) in his urinary tract. They did not see any crystals. The vet did say his bladder is very small and looks very inflamed. So they gave him a shot of an anti-inflammatory/anti-pain med (a good thing, he calmed down a lot, which is good to see), gave him anti-biotic (suspected u.t.i.), anti-inflammatory and an ocular anti-biotic/steroid for his runny (herpes) eye. Poor little dude, he sure went through a lot today! Now he's home, getting re-acquainted with the other cats and chilling. Looks like I've got a FLUTD feline here. They gave me a prescription for another type of special food (Royal Canine) which I'll try (he hates the CD). Fingers crossed. Thank you all for your words of advice, help, suggestions and encouragements. Lucky thanks you too!
