I got Purrkins strong smelling foods I don't normally feed like Tuna & Salmon, Chicken and Herring I got assorted cans knowing he may be fussy. They all were really stinky and the stinky got passed all the meds. This is again where not one size fits all but it does work for most;) One of our member's Vets sent them home with kitten food which is high in calories and it worked for her kitty. Pablo may eat what you have already! Did they say if he was eating ok in the hospital?
Tuna water and sardine water are great to have on hand its just the juice of the tuna or sardine can. Lots of cats will lap that up! Wet food is always better cats don't drink enough and the canned food ensures they are getting the liquid they need. Whatever Pablo wants is fine if that is dry make sure he drinks water, tuna water, sardine water, cat milk. If your feeding wet food and Pablo will eat it it's one less worry on the fluid intake.
Has the site been sloooow or is it just me?
It has been hiccupping Holly. I have had a few white screens that lasted for quite a few seconds before it loaded.

Lol, if you go through some of the forums you will see that this is the one time we say... whatever it takes. Favorite foods, human foods, whatever they will eat if they get fussy.
Of course if he eats his normal food that is a win win. Sometimes they start out like that ( like Huck ) and then after several days they start getting fussy. Sometimes they don't. We are just trying to give you ammunition for a possible setback, and while healing they need nutrition, sleep, elimination, pain medication, and loving. This is a big procedure, so all of those things are vital to the healing process.
If he never has a problem with any of these, then you win! If he does, you are armed and ready
