There was talk of doing a PU on my Jack because his urethra is so small and he was particularly sensitive to getting crystals. I was fortunate enough to be able to switch him off urinary food (which he didn't like either) on to a low carbohydrate high protein food (I actually feed raw) and he is doing very well. He did have one relapse after getting into some dry food I brought home for the foster kittens. <br /><br />By feeding a more meat based diet it naturally keeps his urine acidic so I don't have to give him the Rx food which he didn't much like either (which is saying quite a bit since he will eat almost anything) <br /><br />I'm totally available if you want to talk about food. I can also point you to some other resources if you want. Just an alternative to think of if you want it..

Otherwise, he is in very good spirits, purring and playing, though I try not be make the latter too active, considering his condition. In the past, his emotional state has suffered when he's had surgery, but this time, he is doing very well. Physically, I think he is recovering well, too, though I will find out how right or wrong I am on Wednesday, when I take him back to the veterinary. Thank you for asking about him.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-66274807081080589242012-09-16T19:04:06.014-07:002012-09-16T19:04:06.014-07:00Is Tucker doing better since our last visit?

The playing not so much in the beginning, but more so as she got better. We hope he feels better soon.

There is some justice that your little one will survive. I am glad of this. I hope for a speedy recovery and that all the new things that need adapting to will come smoothly.
