    an unscientific study on crystals in cat.

    Well I have a Female Calico that just started having problems with crystals. I heard it is more common in males than females though.

    What food for UTI problems?

    Does anyone know what I should be looking for in the food? I mean like I know the Ash should be under a certain %, but what? Oh and this is for dry food too. I will be buying some wet too, but my one cat will only eat dry.

    Ugh I can't make up my mind on a cat food! r/o

    Just wanted to let you know I switched my healthy cats over to Purina Cat Chow indoor (due to being the only food that didn't make my one cat constantly throw up), and now my other cat is having UTI problems. I am thinking it was caused by switching to the crappy food. I am in the process of...

    What food for UTI problems?

    Once Angel finishes off her prescription food (Royal Canin urinary s/o), we were told we could put her on non-presciption food for urinary health. So what kinds are out there? I was at Petsmart and only saw Purina One and Pro Plan. I know those are probally not the best, but may need to go...

    Crystals in urine

    I woke up in the early AM to blood spots near the litter box and on my carpet in the bedroom (litterbox is in bathroom in my room). Later on that day I saw her sqauting and when she moved there were tiny spots of blood. Some spots were more of a water red others were like blood spot from a...

    Crystals in urine

    The vet did say we can use the non-prescription food later on, but wants her on the prescription stuff for 6 months. Do you really think she needs to be on it that long? Also, for those that have used the S/O before, how long does a bag generaly last?

    Crystals in urine

    I just got back from taking my Angel to the vet. It was to recheck her urine for infection. Well it looks as though the infection is gone, but they said she has crystal. They put her on 2 more weeks of Clavamox and want her to start eating Royal Canin urinary S/O and gave us a prescription...

    UTI or bacterial infection?

    They want to see her in about a week and a half from now, right before she is done with her meds. Thank for the info about the ph, that is probally why the vet said no special diet at this time. I am just so worried about what could be wrong with her. In the 5 yrs we had her, she has never...

    UTI or bacterial infection?

    The vet did run a test at the office after the first rounds of Clavamox (from the UTI). That is when she said she has the bacterial infection. She took the Clavamox pills for 2 weeks (which was prescribed), then they gave us the liquid form and said she need to take if for 3 weeks. They only...

    UTI or bacterial infection?

    My cat, Angel, was given meds to treat a UTI back on Oct 28th for 2 weeks (no urine sample, but was peeing blood). I took her back in about a week ago for a recheck and this time they did get a urine sample. They said she had a really bad Bacterial infection. She said something about her...

    Scratches/Scabs near ears (pics)

    I don't think it is fleas, as our other cat and our puppy don't have them. Would allergies come on so quickly like this? This literally just started about a week and a half ago. We have had her for almost 4 yrs and she has never had problems like this before. We haven't brought anything new...

    Scratches/Scabs near ears (pics)

    I have no idea what is wrong with my cat. She has these scabs under each ear (angling towards her eye) and they won't go away, she is also loosing a little hair too. We were thinking that my other cat scratched her and they started to itch and her scratching them just made them worse, but now...

    Bleeding with a UTI

    Well I noticed she did have a decent amount of urine(more than the usual couple drops) in the basket last night and it was a brownish shade instead of the red. So I am thinking she is starting to feel better. I put a litter pan inside the basket and she hasn't used the peed inside the basket...

    Bleeding with a UTI

    I noticed Sunday morning I notice some spots of blood near the litter boxes. I have 2 cats and wasn't sure which one it was from, until a few hours later. I noticed my one cat squatting in a laundry basket and when she got up ther was spot of blood there. I took her to the vet and they put...
