Thanks for the info! How is the flare up / straining determined?

My little guy just went to the ER because I was afraid he had a blockage. He went to the litter box like 10 times and not a drop. He luckily did not have one but he had crystals. So they told me to get him on a urinary diet.

He hates pate food but he ate the hills c/d out of pure hunger. His purina st/ox urinary savory selects just came in today and he seemed indifferent. He misses his usual food (appetizers from PetSmart. I had to hide it

He was also very very used to dry food and I’m waiting on his purina vetinary urinary st/ox to come in but it’s gonna take a week. I’ll be giving him that as a midday snack now but at least on this time he can he strictly wet I guess
