    Struvite Crystals.. help

    I have 1 cat with crystals that is on the Royal Canine SO-he eats the wet and dry food. I also have two female cats, trying to separate them for feeding became a nightmare so all three of mine eat the wet and dry RC SO and have been for two years with no problems.

    Started with crystals, now I am not sure.

    Sounds like he is on the road to recovery-it does get better a little each day!

    Bumps on ears

    My cat has the same thing-he gets this every june-July for a few weeks, he scratches the heck out of his ears as well. My vet thinks it's allergies, because it eventually goes away and happens the same time every year.

    Started with crystals, now I am not sure.

    My cat Blue-blocked almost two years ago, he had the cath-procedure, came home and was on pain meds and antibiotics for a few weeks, at least 4. The first week he made a few inappropriate eliminations on newspaper as he was associating the litter box with pain, and yes there was blood, but...

    Urinary Obstruction (crystals)....Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    I agree 100% with CatLadyVet Tech-get him on prescribed food immediately. My cat Blue went through the same thing, my vet recommended Royal Canine SO and he has been on it ever since. DO NOT feed him any treats or table food though-the prescription food alters the ph and destroys the crystals...

    Concerns for after urethral blockage removal

    Just an FYI-my cat was making 4-6 trips a day to the litter box to urinate, and only about the size of a quarter for about 3 weeks after the catheter procedure. Also maybe trying all these different wet foods is adding to the runny stool problem.  Just a thought, hope he feels better soon. I...

    Concerns for after urethral blockage removal

    If your cat is eating the RX dry only-I wouldn't worry. My cat wont touch the RX wet he only eats the dry, I was concerned until my vet, and the vet techs told me don't worry the dry will make him drink more water, which it does, and he has been fine for almost two years now. I don't give him...

    Concerns for after urethral blockage removal

    I have been there and done that as well, although my cat was on the pan meds (I administered them at home with anti-spasm medication too) for 10 days. He was grumpy and uncomfortable -then I would give him the meds and he would be a lot better. He would pee small amounts multiple times-and this...

    Any ideas? Cat stomach issues

    An update- Blue seems to be better-I went to the Vet and talked to him, he didn't seem concerned and said it sounds like a hairball issue, he advised I give him a little Laxatone for the next couple days and see how he does. I also had to buy his prescription food as the bag was almost empty...

    Any ideas? Cat stomach issues

    I am going to see how he is doing tonight, if he is eating and drinking water and acting normal, then I would attribute this episode to hair in his stomach or a hair ball, and I'll just keep an eye on him. If he isn't eating or if he is acting weird I'll call the vet. When he was first put on...

    Any ideas? Cat stomach issues

    I have the Felaway diffusers around the house, they did run out about 3 days ago and I ordered more but they haven't arrived. Funny you mention that as I thought maybe his barfing this morning was due to stress? The weird chewing on plastic behavior started right around when they ran out? But...

    Any ideas? Cat stomach issues

    I have a three year old male rescue cat named Blue-at 1 year old he blocked and we found out he had crystals (struvite sp?) after having him unblocked we got him on Royal Canine SO-he hasn't had any health problems since. Eats the food, drinks plenty of water, plays a lot and is very active. The...

    Alternatives to expensive Urinary SO food

    I agree with beckbjj-I am not crazy about what is in the RC SO-but it keeps my cat alive and healthy, I have had numerous people suggest I try raw diets and other "high quality"foods, it's not worth it to take the chace if you ask me. I found what works and that is what I am sticking to.

    FLUTD? Cat sick and vet not sure what to tell me

    My vet did an X-ray to see if the crystals had formed a larger stone, they didn't. They never suggested an ultrasound and they never suggested the medication would help with anything other than pain. How long has he been on the prescription food? It took my cat 48 hours, to have the food alter...

    FLUTD? Cat sick and vet not sure what to tell me

    I went through a similar experience, my cat was just under 2 years old when he started sitting in the litter box and not producing any urine, to make a long story short he has FLUTD and stress induced crystals. My vet-and the ER vets he saw, were all over the place when it came to the remedy for...

    Little stray showing up-should I keep feeding it?

    well the owner is NOT friendly, but I am going to try and talk to him when I see him walking his dogs. I tried to talk to him once before because as he walks his three dogs there is this huge Maincoon (sp?) that follows him. I asked him one day "is that your cat that follows you walking the...

    Little stray showing up-should I keep feeding it?

    Well I found out my little stray (I call her Bandita') has a home and a human to take care of her! I am so happy!!! She lives about a block from my house! I guess she just likes my yard and patio chairs? She still comes for breakfast every morning, not sure if I should keep feeding her though?
