This issue is something I never heard of until it happened to our little guy. It is expensive but it is keeping him alive.
He loves SO so much that he turns his nose at other things (turkey) that he used to love. Every night my Husband makes him a bowl of dry SO, some canned SO, hot water to make a gravy and cubed (boiled) chicken breast. Snickers lops it up. He is gaining weight after 2 yrs of this but we aren’t too concerned because he is healthy and he pees a lake.
All together, canned, dry and a 10 lb chicken breast, cost us about $60 per month to feed him. But when you see your poor animal go through a stone blockage, $60 is nothing. through
Yes, the surgeries alone cost a lot of money. And the pain and suffering is horrendous. Ask anyone with a kidney stone! My babies didn’t get pain meds either.
Glad your furkid is doing well and you found a plan that works well. And that he loves it is even better! He’s a lucky cat to have found a great home.
