I was gonna try the SO temporally.

If you do decide to feed this, even temporarily, I’d get the canned version rather than the kibble. The kibble may help with the crystals, but it won’t help the underlying problem of not having enough fluids. Cats should get most of their needed moisture from their food.

Thanks so very much for all your recommendations. I am using the so canned for temporary and then switching over. No more dry food for my fur babies.

Well I’m not sure what to do. I have tried so many wet foods for him and he snubs his nose at all of them. I had him locked in a room hoping he would eat. It’s been at least 36 hours since has really eaten. I’m lost. Please help

Try sprinkling some crumbled freeze dried chicken treats over the wet food, see if that helps perk his interest.

Have you tried different textures? My last cat would only eat canned if it was chunks in gravy, our current crew only likes pate - no chunks.

Have you tried crushing up his dry food and sprinkling that on top of canned?
Also if raw boost was the dry food he likes, have you tried feeding him just the freeze dried pieces?

He does love freeze dried chicken. So he gets that. I am temporarily feeding him the SO and I bought that Pretty litter stuff and his PH is now normal. So I’m gonna be taking him to vet possibly next week or following( super busy at work) to get rechecked. I really appreciate all the suggestions. He still doesn’t like wet/raw food but does like a little water on his dry food. Believe me I will keep trying with him.

If he likes feeeze dried chicken you can get some that is a balanced diet like Stella and Chewys: https://www.chewy.com/stella-chewys-chick-chick-chicken/dp/129982

Or these freeze dried nibs that seem like dry food to a cat, yet are much healthier than dry food. And it’s a balanced diet much better for urinary health. https://www.chewy.com/vital-essentials-chicken-mini-nibs/dp/152721

Then just try to get more fluids in him.

You can also add water to the freeze dried foods and nibs, maybe he’d like that better than canned. Our crew adores the Northwest Naturals freeze dried (not frozen - it sucks), as well as the Stella and Chewys.

Unfortunately the nibs don’t rehydrate at all. We use them as crunchy treats.
