My cat won't eat prescription urinary food. What can I feed him?

Question

One of our male cats recdently had a blockage and we had to take him to emergency. We got there in the nick of time, he was going into kidney failure! Naturally he now has to be on special prescription food. The Hill's c/d he doesn't like at all. The Royal Canin he tolerates but will hardly eat it. I always try to mix something else in but it's just a chore to get him to eat now and the poor guy is hungry. He does love Royal Canin's dry SO food and treats. What else can I feed him?

I would feed him the Royal Canin dry SO if he likes it. It's important that he eats the urinary diet, and you can add water to it to get more moisture into his diet. I also recommend getting him a pet water fountain. It's provides a continual source of fresh water, and encourages cats to drink. I have one for my cats, and they love it! I hope this helps!
