Unfortunately, Xena hates Science diet enough as it is, add anything and it
is history, LOL! Fortunately, dry S/D diet is her FAV! and that is what dissolves those dreaded crystals (I love crystals heaps, but not in my cat's bum)...well, I just give her a bit of science wet food as is at a time, but majority of S/D. Will catch an extra sample of her wee for the vets (they are true angels as far as I am concerned). andr0 "afr" wrote in message rg... yeah, i add a little bit of warm water to george's food too ...it is like porridge consistency...whatever it takes to make sure the flow continues. a.

That was when he was 3. He's been getting the little bit of water in his canned food ever since. Stacey "andr0meda" wrote in message ... WOW! This makes me think that Xena might live till 40!!!!!! Our Vet recommended adding a bit of chicken soup (or rather gelly from chicken soup) to make Science Diet tastier. Xena doesn't think so. Congrats, Sebastian!!!!!

That seems to have worked best to keep the crystals away in addition to diet (combo dry CD and CNM/UR in the morning, canned CD at night). The last time he had a bout I added Methioform to his food. It's a pleasant tasting acidifier. Sebastian's had a crystal problem since he was 1-1/2 years old and I (knock on wood) have it under control. He is 9 now. Stacey "afr" wrote in message rg... Hi andr0, My guy george is getting over a bout with crystals. The vets emphasized moist cat food for this issue.

The only treat remaining is VIP cat mince (laced with Noroclav). I am quite determined to rid Xena of those crystals. The GREAT thing is: she actually EATS the S/D diet. More reports will follow. I LOVE my ^^, and I won't give up on her. She is going to live till 40 if I can help it Andr0 |
