We have a 10 year old male orange tabby who has had to go into the vet twice in the last few years for crystals in his urine. We had to take him in last night for a 3rd time and they immediatly put in a catheder and keep him for 2 days to monitor him and attach a saline bag to him to clear the urethra. The vet had told us the 1st time to change the food which we did but then it happened a second time, the vet then put him on Medical, the vet food, which we buy from him and he has been eating that the last few years. The vet did say this time that it can be stress induced ( we just lost our other cat of 7 years who was this cat's best friend) and it can also be diet. He may just be pre-disposed to this. I've been reading online that some people suggest a totally wet food diet for an issue like this, especially because he seems to be predisposed to this. Does anyone have any thoughts on this or have they gone through this same thing multiple times? Thank you!
