So, in my ark we currently have 3 male cats, aged 11, 11 and 12. Both of the 11 year old cats are DSH tabbies that have had previous urinary blockage issues. One of them, Apollo, had a blockage issue so severe that he had to spend the weekend with a catheter at the hospital. He's also terrified of everything, and the other cats (and dog) bully him constantly. We have a baby gate set up at the stairs so that the dog can't get near him, so he lives in relative quiet an comfort.

Our big problem right now, however, is that while his vet-recommended specialty food has kept him blockage-free for the past 4.5 years since his incident, he poops water. Everywhere. We've tried probiotics, feliway, we constantly change his litter, etc. Still water pooping, and many times half out of the box.

Our vet recommended that his nerves might be so bad that he needs to be removed from the other animals altogether and just have his own room, but he gets really lonely. So we're looking at changing up his food:

Any ideas here or other suggestions?
