My cat just had his expressed. And it was awful! I felt so bad for him. And whatever they cleaned it out with, has my other kitty hissing and moaning at him. And I don’t want him to be any my traumatized, especially in his own home. Also, the vet said usually it’s just a liquid and when my cats...
So far his peeing has been fine. I was very concerned about the licking of his penis. The vet sends me home with a Kit4cat to collect sample, but it’s very hard to get him to go on the non absorbent litter. My poor little guy got so sick on the way to the vet, and then when there they decided to...
Hi Everyone!
My Male cat Cheddar, was diagnosed with structure crystals late August 2018, he was able to pass the block himself. But since then he has been on Royal Canin Urinary SO food, I switch between the regulr gel and the morsels in gravy. He has been healthy since, but yesterday and this...
Thanks. I actually went with my gut and saw a different vet for a second opinion. My first vet wasn’t bad, but this one I felt really comfortable with and she answered a lot of questions. And I will actually try to relay the best on here too so that maybe I can help somebody else. So what she...
Update on Cheddar: he was seeming to really improve, but now he’s not really eating. Other than that he’s acting normal. Still doing small amounts in the litter box but I’m so petrified about him becoming dehydrated. I’m also a little frustrated bc the ladies At the vet said his Royal Canin SO...
What brand did you get that’s high protein, no grain? My kitty was a little blocked last week, and he passed the blockage on his own. Has been doing good since then. But now he seems like he’s being picky about his food. He ate it fine when I first gave it to him, was eating almost two cans a...
I’m so sorry to hear that...:sniffle: but 16 Year’s seems like a good amount of time you got to spend with him :hearthrob: I will have to look into the feline K/D. Thanks!
Thanks so much! I definitely feel more calm now that the weekend has passed. I almost thought I was going to have him catheterized (if that’s a word :crazy: ) today just to get the crystals out, but honestly since he has passed the big one he has seemed okay. He’s been using the litter box no...
Hi there. I am totally right there with you! My boy has been dealing with crystals since Wednesday. My vet has me in the same boat. I’m over anxious/paranoid, and not that I don’t advise actual medical help, but this site has helped a lot. My cat was peeing everywhere couldn’t control it, I was...
I def recommend more people to read this. LOTS of food information on there. I’m currently dealing with crystals in my 4yo male cat. I wish I had known a lot of this info sooner!
Thanks so much Jem. This reply was very helpful. I am hoping to get a fountain today. And thanks for the tip about sizes of bowls I never would have thought of that. I’ve got different materials. But maybe a wider bowl will help. And not that it’s good he’s inflamed, but that kind of relieves...
Thank you so much! He does have an a anti-inflammatory medicine, I believe it’s prazoin? They told me that’s the most Important thing he takes. As of now I’m checking on him, and his pee is still small about 1 inch spots like you said. But what I’ve really noticed improvement in is him not...
Thank you so much for your advice! I am the same way. I have called every day, multiple times since the has been happening. And just like you said with your cat, I’m worried that first pass was only part of the problem. They know how worried I am and I’ve already talked to them this morning so...
Also I’m gonna be switching my female, Charlie, over to a wet food diet so they both are on the proper diet for prevention of any future problems. What’s the best recommended brand that has the most moisture?
