Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Lucky

[Margo]

Hi Bonnie,                 All in all, I'd say that's good news. I try to avoid dry food, but the RC SO is what I have for those times someone is stubborn or insistent on dry food. They like it :) I haven't tried the canned, for wet food I use EVO, Hounds and Gatos, and others with basically meat only. That's pretty  much what I use for everyone. Canned is altogether better than dry for any cat.                 Hope all the meds make him feel much better, soon.

Thank you all for your words of advice, help, suggestions and encouragements.  Lucky thanks you too! Bonnie
