om...
This food was prescribed for my cat who just had a urinary blockage
removed. Does anyone know if my other cat (who is in perfect health)
will develop problems if he also starts to eat the Hill's S/D and
Hill's CD-S food as well ?

Thanks.


Your other cat shouldn't develop any problems from eating c/d-s because its
formulated to produce a normal urine pH. However, s/d is more acidic and
formulated to dissolve struvite and produces a much lower urine pH that can,
and most likely will, cause serious problems (e.g., calcium oxalate and
possibly acidosis) in a normal cat.
