Dementia dog refusing urinary food.
17 yo terrier mix.
Spayed female
Hx of: dementia, teeth cleaning/extraction/orofistula repair 5 may, 2026/ recurrently UTI since january when steroid was stopped.
5.0kg. Was 5.5.
Weve had many antibiotics, and cultures. The last said crystals confirmed with ultrasound. She has been on hills urinary c/d for a month. She has ha the wet, the kibble, both. Soaked. Blended. Added some chicken. Pumpkin.
She hates it.
Last friday clear ultrasound of all organs...bladder and urinary normal. Blood good. Heart good. Urine was ok but no culture done 2 weeks ago.
Today is day 1 off enrox 15mg for vaginitis 10 day treatment.
She is eating less and less, losing weight. Excited to eat when its a small amount of a supplement or when i put the tinest bit of baby food on top
She will pick out chicken, she wont eat if kts blended and she cant find it
Is there an alternative? Would changing her to a normal food be detrimental? My vet is no help, i have switched vets due to the UTI recurrancr and no help besides 5 day tx. This one will only let me buy food through her and basically said i had to keep her on it and shell eat eventually.
