One of the best things you can do for him is to make sure that he gets a lot of moisture. It's important to keep his urine dilute so that the stones don't even have a chance to form. I'm sorry if I've asked before, but does he get canned or dry U/D. If he gets the dry, it's important to add equal parts water to each meal. So, if he gets 1/4 cup dry u/d at each meal, then add 1/4 cup water to each meal. |
My two wont touch Watermelon or apples, I dont know why they dont like it.
Mickeys on u/d dry and u/d can, I give him both. He eats a bowl of the can cut up in the morning meal and then I free feed him the dry all day. he only eats a few bites here and there so adding water to it wont work, it would dry up and sour before he got it ate. we did try it with half water when we first started useing it and he wouldnt touch it. I wish he would cause I had heard they need lots of water. sense his surgery this time hes been eating the can in the evening too and dry on and off all day. I have added the bottle water to his bowl now so im so hoping he dont get them back again. he goes in sat the 5th for a recheck.
