To prevent all this, it was recommended we feed with wet food as much as possible. Maybe worth a try? Our 11 year old luckily has avoided any issues so far following that advice.
Yup, we have been encouraged to mix in wet food once or twice a day. Thing is that he won't touch any kind of wet food, special or otherwise.

He isn't even into tuna, salmon, or any of the other things my previous cat went crazy for.
