OP here... Thanks all for the support. I had questioned the vet
about the WD decision noting it's stated purpose. He said the
fiber might help with the runs, and should still have enough
urinary ingredients.


What?!? Fiber will increase intestinal irritation. I'd get a
second
opinion from a feline specialist.


Consider there are numerous grades of dietary fiber ranging from
husks to herbs that increase water retention in the colon and thereby
increase mobility. So your blanket condemnation is faulty.


I don't know ANY vet that would prescribe a high-fiber diet to a cat
with chronic diarrhea. That's just assinine.

BS - Vets makes less profit on pet food sales than any other item in
the clinic. The only "bennies" they get each month is a bill. Of
course there is some benefit to having satisfied clients I suppose.


Spoken like a true Hill's rep, LOL


If the truth fits, wear it proudly!!
