Sence yesterday my cat s food was changed to Hills since diet S/D
for urinery crystels.
For 30 days then C/D for life.
She got A shot and antibyouctos.
But still no Pe Pe the Vet saide it would take a day or so to kick in.
My question is how long will she hold till she finaly gose.
I find myself looking in her box and hopping to see some lump.

Anway help me to understand this more i'm at a loss with all this.

Oh ya she seems to be eating the dry and i think some of the moist to.
Should i pull her treats away to also.

I'd say limit the treats so they don't interfere with her reaching the right acidic balance in her urine.

It sounds like the vet has the food taken care of. I am wondering about her water intake. Is she drinking plenty?

Many of us have purchased water fountains for our kits to encourage them to drink more water and with most it does seem to make a difference.

Did the vet give you a guideline on how long to wait before bringing her back in?

I'm sure there will be others with more kinowledge along soon to advise you on the right way to go. You got her to the vet and that's the important thing.

Good luck getting things in balance with your little girl.

It would also be good to get another litter box in case she has associated her pain with the old litter box.

She is drinking her water and eating her food with no problom.
As for her kitty box why chang the box or do you mean the litter itself.
Should i put her kitty litter in the room where she sopends most of her time or leve it where it is?

I believe the suggestion to change the litter box was because the cat may associate it with the pain she experienced with the crystals and not want to use it. Try using a different container and even different litter until she is better. When we are travelling in the car I use just a plastic square dishpan for the litter.

As to moving the litter, it might be a good idea to move it to a "new" place that she doesn't associate with the pain of the crystals. Worth a try.

Very good!! Glad to hear she's using the box again. Just keep an eye on her and I'm sure she'll continue to recover.
