Rusty was on C/D for about a year or two when he first had urinary
blockage.
He ate it with no complaint. I heard some cats don't like C/D, but not
Rusty.
I vaguely recall TED warning me to watch Rusty didn't gain too much
weight on this
food. Or it could be another prescription food as Rusty had been on so
many
different ones.
But I controlled his ****tion size and Rusty never had a problem with
weight. In fact,
he has always been on the skinny side.
Canned C/D may be better than the dry. It will give Persia more fluid.
Most cats don't
drink enough and Rusty is one of them. A 25 lb bag of dry food may go
stale fast.
