Hi all,
I have a 7 month old male cat named Bandit who has been having some urinary issues since about Dec 20. He's been to the vet been on antibiotics as well as muscle relaxers and was switched to Royal canin urinary so cat food. He started to urinate blood so I took him to the vet on Monday as soon as it happened and he was fine though distressed and in pain. He went back on another course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory pain killers. It's been just over a week and he seems better but I'm having a hard time monitoring his urine because I also have a female cat in the house. I tried to separate them so I could monitor his pee better but that just stressed him out being separated from Nunu. There is no blood in any of the urine though. He finished his antibiotics today and I'm terrified he will start to get worse and start bleeding again like he did the last time he finished his meds. I'm reading that the dry Royal canin isn't good for the urinary issues but the wet food gives him diahreah. I have a water fountain for them that he seems to enjoy and always looks hydrated.
Does anyone have any tips I can use to maintain his health? I'm so worried as he is so young and the vets are concerned there may be an underlying cause that is making him susceptible to crystals so young and they suspect he has FLUTD.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
