Question

My cat, an 8 year old himalayan has crystals in her urine. She is on antibiotics and the vet sent home dry food for urinary infections, also got some canned SD, but she won't eat either of them. She hasn't eaten in 2 days, I tried to force feed her with a syringe, but didn't have the greated luck. She like RD AD and Purina dry food. What do you recommend. She weight 8 pounds. Thank you.

Hello and welcome back.

 

I am so sorry your girl is having this problem.

 

Unfortunately SD is rejected by a lot of cats. There are several other brands of urinary diet, you may want to see if your vet can get purina UR as cats tend to like this much better.

 

Until you can get a different food she has to eat. Not eating in cats can cause liver damage. I would feed what ever food she was eating before the switch. A day or two of her old diet will cause less risks to her health the not eating.

 

Call your vet first thing Monday and let them know what has transpired over the weekend.

 

Please reply back if I can be of additional assistance.

 

Best wishes. Candy
