In m,
-L. composed with style: I would start off with a bland canned food that is easy on the digestive tract - the one my feline specialist recommended was Purina diabetic diet - it is high in protein and easy to digest. Is that DM? Prescription, correct? I may have to ask about that one. Of course finiky Shadow probably wouldn't eat it. |

WD is weight diet for overweight cats - not for urinary tract
problems. w/d has the same urinary output as c/d-s. Science Diet foods are crap - get your cat to a different vet and change to a normal food - one that won't exascerbate his urinary tract or intestines/colon. Another Hill's basher. Too bad millions of pets have gotten better or had their lives saved on Hill's diets. If the vets push Science Diet just tell them you won't feed it. Vets push it because they get huge bennies from Hill's. ....and what would those be?? I would start off with a bland canned food that is easy on the digestive tract - the one my feline specialist recommended was Purina diabetic diet - it is high in protein and easy to digest. You like Purina?? LOL! The same company that makes Mainstay and Dog Chow? The same company that is notorious for putting out high sugar diets?? It's interesting that you mention the diabetic diet...Hill's has a better one that is lower in sodium and phosphorus. But that won't matter to you since you hate Hill's. Why do you hate Hill's? |

It seems to me, from reading posts the past couple of years, that cats that
are given Science Diet/Hill's prescription foods for one problem often develop anorther problem. Also, what happens when the vet misdiagnoses a condition and recommends one of these "prescription" foods. What does it in turn do to the cat's health? Nothing good, I'm sure. Lauren Lauren, a friend of mine is a vet and he has tremendous success w/ the Hill's diets. I know you like to bash Hill's whenever the opportunity presents itself, so I just thought I would counteract you here. Also, what happens if a metorite hits the earth? Nothing good, I'm sure. |

Can he tolerate people tuna (canned) or sardines?
Feeding a cat tuna is NOT a good idea. It could be one of the preservatives in the cat food. Why would you think this? Preservatives are not a problem in cat food contrary to mob opinion. |
