My cat, Sneak, has now had 3 instances where he's had some urinary issues. 2 of the 3 times, he has NOT had any crystals, but just red/white blood cells in his urine, which antibiotics have always cleared up. One time he did have some struvite crystals, and was put on Royal Canin S/O for a couple months after that.
He had been eating Wysong Uretic (as recommended by my vet) and doing great on it, til a couple days ago when he started having problems again.. frequently going to the litter box is his main symptom. Otherwise, he acts totally normal, no crying, eating fine, etc.
So I took him in and again he just had red/white blood cells in his urine, no crystals. He's now on Clavamox and is already better after only 2 doses. I spoke with my vet today and he thinks I should switch him to a completely wet food diet (he's always eaten dry because I could never get him to eat wet). Thankfully, he's been eating the leftover S/O cans I had just fine, so I think he may be over the "I hate wet food" phase.
Vet doesn't think he needs to be on a prescription diet yet, since it doesn't seem like it's crystals that are causing his problems. So I'm wondering what you guys would suggest for a cat like him?
