My older cat had the same thing (Now in Kitty paradise due to old age
)... I had to give him antibiotics for 2 weeks due to the blockage, and fed him PH balanced food the rest of his days.
I thought he was a gone, it was in 2002 and a day before Christmas so I thought it was the worst time ever.. Luckily we were able to treat him, I was so happy.
Glad to hear it worked out for you too!
Yup, Dry food is all you should be feeding your cat... the PH balance type is really good. I feed my cats Iams Multicat as it seems the most balanaced and we do have more than one kitty in the house.
