About 3 weeks ago I started my Cat Bam on Nutro Adult Formula, trading out from Blue Buffalo. With in a week of feeding him that he began to throw up. I spoke to my vet they suggested elevating his food dish. I did, and he stopped throwing up. Tuesday Afternoon he threw up again and began acting weird. Just kinda of distent and spacy, Thursday morning he became very angry, growling, screaming and attacking everyone from myself, and my mother to my sister's 2 kids. He was obviously in pain and would spend 10 to 20 minutes trying to pee in his litter box. Several times he would seek out soft items around the house to try and pee on with no success. (Note: from right after Christmas he's pee'd several times outside the Litter box, generally on my sisters Items,) but this time it was after everything. Rugs, stuffed animals but he was NOT able to pee. He's 4 years old and never pee'd outside the Litter box until recently. So I called the vet and we went in. The vet kept him overnight and I picked him up the next morning. I was never fully told WHAT exactly was wrong with Bam, I'm assuming a UTI, I was told he has crytals in his urine which is why he was growling and snarling at us. (Am I right?)
Anyways, The vet who was not even in the office when I came into pick up Bam, (he was out to lunch). They refused to give me a prescription for his food, I had to call back later that day for the food. They also prescribed Baytril which I need to look up and see what it is for exactly. But anyways the food prescription was for Hills Prescription C/D. He seems to like the Dry food, but WON'T Touch the moist food, he even gives me this sad how DARE you look when I try to give it to him. If he dosn't get his moist food he becomes very angry and testy, attacking me, my mother and anyone else who goes into the Kitchen. My Vet is turning out to be a NOT so GREAT vet as half the time I can't even talk to a vet when I call with questions. I was hoping for some advice on the food issue as my sister's kids are now terrifed of my cat and they'll be with us for at least another 2-3 weeks. So, do you think I could get away with feeding him what he likes.
Thanks for any adive,
