Two days ago Kuno was really lethargic and no interest in food. So we rushed him to the emergency vet. The vet was really rough with him felt his bladder (It looked like she was squeezing hard acc to me) . Anyways she made Kuno froth from mouth (Saying thats saliva) and pee. Examined the pee and decided he has FULTD and crystals plus blood in his urine.

She gave us a lot to read about it and told us this can cause obstruction in Male cats which is life threatening. Gave us meds and told us Kuno must loose weight as he will get diabetic if he doesnt. She also told us that this can re-occur.

Since then II have lost my sleep. I really dun want him in pain and have researched high and low for cures or prevention from this reoccurring..

I have already given him loads of toys, attention when he wants it. All the love when he needs it and played with him. She said stress was one of the causes so we are trying to keep him stress free.

I have also come across research where special diet and food can help this condition and prevent blockages.

Does any one has specific brand recommended for his diet. I am not too sure I can trusts the vets completely. I especially did not like the emergency vet who squeezed him till he howled, pee'd and frothed on himself. He even hissed at us

I am very worried, and I do not exactly know what i can do to make him healthy and okay.

All suggestions are welcome. PS Kuno lives with his sister Dushtu and new friend Mishti. Mishti was introduced about 3 weeks back and since then they have been friends and snuggled together and sleep

I don't think his howling is necessarily indicative of the vet being rough. When a cat has a crystal blockage it hurts. In a vocal cat, the normal palpation needed for diagnosis will make them yelp a bit. They'd have to be a very placid cat to not react.

IMO, the most important thing for uti problems is a wet diet. Hydration is key. A good (high meat and low to zero grain) wet diet is also a big aid to weight loss if needed. The point of the veterinary urinary foods is that they actually contain things to break down the crystals so they can be passed more easily. If the vet recommends a prescription diet I'd at least use it short term until Kuno is fully recovered. Then you can look at transitioning to a wet diet of your choosing if you wish.

Urinary Obstruction in Male Cats

Hi there,

I can sympathize because my cat has FLUTD too. Unfortunately, every cat is different, so you will need to find the food/water/environment combo that is right for him. Personally, we did OTC urinary foods at first & he blocked again in a week. So that didn't work for us,  but has for others. We kept him on the Rx food for several years, but only dry. He had recurring issues. Now that he switched to all wet, he is significantly better. He eats Hills C/D wet and also some other grain free, high protein wet food. Always with extra water mixed in. Reading & learning is the best way to find out every possible option & see what works for you
