Default Levi and the emergency hospital, and what foods are best forstruvite crystals?


While he was in the hospital (all day), I bought him a water fountain
(which he already loves!) to encourage him to drink more, and did some
very thorough research on food. *He has been eating Evo dry and wet,
but lately more dry (I could kick myself), and lately he has been
under a lot of stress due to a home remodel (so probably not drinking
enough). *The Evo wet looks good with the exception of a surpisingly
low protein content relative to the prescription foods.


When you compare nutritional values, you need to compare the dry
matter basis on the Innova Evo--which excludes the water. If you do
this, you'll find that the Evo has one of the highest protein contents
out there.

An all-canned diet would be an excellent idea for this cat, Innova Evo
is great as is Wellness canned (make sure to get the grain free
varieties) or Nature's Variety canned.
