    Changing from Purina One to Royal Canin

    My male cat was put on RC Urinary about six weeks ago after a UTI and the vet told me it was fine to feed it to my female cat too. The male cat is doing fine, but I've started switching the female back to her old food for at least half of her meals. I found with her it caused hairball problems...

    Red Blood Cells/Bacteria in Urine

    I asked about a liquid and the vet said there isn't a "good option" that she knows of. She offered to see if a compounding pharmacy can make the anti-biotics into something that tastes good, and I think I will have her check on that tomorrow. I started out with the pill pockets and they worked...

    Red Blood Cells/Bacteria in Urine

    She's never been able to get one because the cat is really overweight. I really wish she could get one.

    Red Blood Cells/Bacteria in Urine

    My cat had a UA done last week and they found a low level of bacteria (they called it 1+) and a few red blood cells (normal is 1-3, her range was 4-10). The sample was taken from my litter box using aquarium gravel, so the vet said the bacteria could be from the box or the cat, but since there...

    Well, according to my vet, both cats can eat it. I've taken her off of it as I said.

    Anyone use Royal Canin Urinary?

    Interesting. Mine never had problems with it either until this food. I bet the high sodium doesn't allow the stool to retain any water. As long as I feel confident that it's not dangerous dehydration maybe I can just get a stool softener to give them as needed. I'm also going to bring...

    Anyone use Royal Canin Urinary?

    I found this forum when searching for opinions about RC Urinary SO. My male cat was put on it (dry version) about six weeks ago when he had a UTI. They found tons of crystals in his urine so he's supposed to be on it for life. He's handling it okay, but my female cat was also eating it and it...

    Cat constipation

    My female cat has been having the same issues. See if you can get her to eat canned pumpkin, or maybe get some of the hairball treats (will help if there's a hairball, plus have a lot of fiber). I sometimes use Laxatone, which you can get at Petco. It's a hairball remedy too but also will...

    My Uncle's Hyper-T Saga (long)

    Hi Libby, My tabby (11 yo) was recently diagnosed with hyper-t too, but I think at a pretty early stage so she hasn't had the other health problems you describe. She is taking a compounded oral version of methimazole that I have to give to her twice a day. She eats it just like a treat (it's...
