my male cat has struvite crystals and has been plugged 3 times in last 2 years(he adopted us and looks to be 3yrs old) He has to have special diet but won't eat it.He loves other canned food mixed with water but turns nose up at s/d food. I'm afraid he's going to block again before the struvite crystals can dissolve. HELP! What can I flavor this food with so he[ll eat?

You can try warming it up or mixing in a tiny bit of plain baby food. Since Gabby does have a history of urinary obstructions, discuss surgical options with your veterinarian. A perineal urethrostomy (PU) can be performed to widen the opening through which he urinates to prevent blocking.
