Right after I made the appointment, I checked her foot to see how it was doing and the thing was gone. I kept the appointment just to be safe and I'm pretty sure the new vet at work thinks I'm a nutcase now. I know I didn't imagine it because I had a friend of mine who is a vet look at it on Friday and she said it would probably need to be removed.

I feed Napolean Fancy Feast Fish & Shrimp feast. He's allergic to every cat food known to man, fish products make him react less. He has issues with struvite crystals and has been semi-blocked twice and he's HORRIBLE at work and has to be sedated to be treated. He was on First Mate Fish Flakes & Potato which also had Blueberries as an ingredient that was supposed to help with bladder issues but he got plugged while on the food. I only feed him 2-3 cans of food per day and he doesn't really poop that much... I am keeping him on the cheap stuff till he starts itching his face off and then I will put him on Avoderm or Tiki cat... it's hard to find foods because most "fish" foods have other protein sources in them. I used to get some fish packets from a company in new zealand but they quit making them

I know I've read that fish foods can aggravate struvite problems, but then I feel like I heard it might not matter? I've had one of my guys block and 3 of them have crystals and a fourth is allergic to everything, so I feel your pain!
Have you tried Weruva or Soulistic? Same thing-- Soulistic is the name PetCo packages it under, but if you look up Soulistic, you don't find a lot of info. They're almost exclusively seafood-- tilapia, skipjack, tuna, shrimp... When I tried to switch to chicken, I could only finds a couple of flavors. And my guys LOVE it. It's the only canned food they reliably eat. They're very high in moisture content, which might be good for the crystals...

Was that you in the cat food aisle when I was buying Harley his Mighty Dog?
