I wanted to provide an update and thank you all for your suggestions.
As advised, I took Morty to another vet in town.
They did not understand why the other vet wanted to lower the protein amount in his food and advised that I do not follow this recommendation
They were very, very worried...
They have only gone as far as doing an x-ray for kidney stones (which they did not find). They have not done an ultrasound nor any bloodwork. I'm not familiar with a urine culture but they did say his urine PH is 6.5 (if this information is helpful).
I too was confused why they were asking me...
Hello,
I have a 2-year-old, ~7-pound cat that has had issues with litterbox usage these past few months. He uses the litterbox around 18-25 times a day (according to his Litter-Robot) and I found blood in his urine just last month. Numerous vet visits later, they have ruled out Kidney Stones...
