7. Yes water is good !

We have a cat that had crystals in his bladder.

Vet put him on a purina veterinary prescription food, dry and wet, he and his sister love it.

I give them dry 3 times a day ( auto feeder ) and 1/4 can of the wet with lots of water mixed into it to encourage water intake. It's really a wet food soup, but they knock it right off and come and beg for it every night.

Expensive food, but there has been no further issues.

We transitioned his sister to it after talking to vet, and other than cost it's fine for her.

It costs about $100 a month for the wet and dry food.

But it's worth it and having them both on it makes it much easier.

I hope you find a good solution for your kitties.
