Default *Sorry about my lengthly explanation*

Nygee had gained lots of weight, exactly 3.5 lbs after her cystotomy, she was put on Hills Prescription u/d Diet, But last Aug she was having difficulty walking and standing, we thought she might've had broken bone or torn ligament, so we got some X-rays, which revealed none was the problem, but she has developed bladder stones once again and was weighing 8.4 lbs ... So her vet put her on r/d to reduce weight, since she's lost 2.5 lbs... Now I recently took her back to get X-rays so he would do a second cystotomy, but now she's developed Kidney stones... I put her back on u/d, but I've reduced her portion... I use to feed her 1/2 cup...Now I feed:

6 lb Nygee: 1/4 cup of u/d kibble and incorporate 1/2 cup of warm water
11 lb Gizmo: 1 cup of Eukanuba Lamb & Rice kibble
4 lb Gypsy: 1/2 cup of Eukanuba Yorkshire specific kibble



Well, you might ask why add water to kibble:
Another member advised me to add the water to keep Nygee's moisture intake up, obviously because of her kidney stones, this has really worked, her urine is not as concentrated as it use to be and she's taking in more liquid than she ever did before, so I decided to incorporate this for my other furbabies, and needless to say,
Nygee,Gypsy & Gizmo love their warm soupy meal...
