Well, we are just high. Wish I was too Maybe I'd stress less. We are making the move to 7.5 units on Tuesday, when hopefully the vet clinic will have some answers from Michigan State about my bloodtests, and we can move forward to more answers and hopefully lower numbers. And who knows, maybe I'll get that miracle I'm praying for and my stubborn mule of a cat will decide to cooperate and eat a decent amount of wet food and finally kick his kibble habit.

What protein is the dry? I'm sure you tried already giving the same protein but wet?
Cleo always had wet and dry available as she free fed. She refused pates though. When switching to 100% wet and pates, we started with just grills and gravy in the proteins she loves in the dry...rabbit turkey venison and duck initially. Grills and gravy wet tend to be higher carb but at least it's wet . Then we added pates to her wet food meals. Then only offered pates as snack food. Now pates are main meals etc.
It was an easy transition for us bc she's very food motivated. We joke we could put you know what in front of her with some warm broth and she'd eat it. You'll get there

I've tried several brands of wet - gravy/minced/grilled/roasted/chunky/pate...F.Feast, Friskies, MeowMix, 9Lives, PurinaProPlan. He picks at it and walks away. I have not tried Dr Elsey's wet food- I assume they make it? I'll check Chewy next time I order (probably next week) He currently eats Dr Elsey's Pure Protein Chicken kibble mixed with YoungAgain Zero. It's a 50/50 mix- all YA gives him diarrhea. Thanks for the support and advice!

Jack is not eating rabbit...I think we had Dr Elsey's Pure Protein rabbit kibble once b/c everything else was out of stock, but it's higher carbs than the chicken.

I have not tried Dr Elsey's wet food- I assume they make it? I'll check Chewy next time I order (probably next week) based on Angela and Cleo's suggestion as well. Thanks for your support and advice!
