My cat is currently in the vet suffering a blocked bladder due to struvite crystals. The vet has recommended the Hills s/d prescription diet. I am happy to give this if it will help dissolve the crystals, but am not happy about a completely dry diet for my cat. He seems to be prone to these crystals, as his usual diet was almost 100% wet, with at least 50% fresh raw meat. He has only ever had dry foods in very small amounts for snacks.
Is the hills diet his only option, or is there a way to control the crystals with a fresh, wet diet?
We adopted him a couple of years ago when he was about 3-4 years old. He was a very skinny, unhealthy stray, so no idea what his early life was like - could he be prone to stones because he had poor health when he was younger?
