They send the medication with finger gloves that we use. He takes pills well so I called my vet and asked if we could change it to a pill form. He hasn't gotten back to me yet.

I've read that article before many times and it is so helpful. The article at the end does say Royal Canine SO can be fed long term so that gives me peace of mind I've decided to keep him on moist only, just based on his experience in the past (was never a big water drinker). I've asked the...

I'm looking for options and suggestions for cat food brands. Two years ago Raiden had a complete urinary blockage which resulted in him being on a moist food diet. He was diagnosed with FIC as he did not have crystals, the only cause they could find was a UTI. He's been perfect on his Royal...

Update: They are pretty sure it's another UTI and we caught it early. He came home with antibiotics and some pain meds. Fingers crossed this is all he'll need.

He ended up getting worse. More blood in the urine with clots. and peeing outside the litter box small amounts. We are headed to our emergency vet now. Thank you for the information.

Raiden was diagnosed with FIC in July 2018 with complete blockage. He had no crystals and his blood work by the end of the emergency vet stay was significantly improving aka no permanent kidney damage. The only thing he had was a UTI but they are not sure if it was from the cath or not. Did the...

Raiden was diagnosed with FIC in July after having a complete obstruction. The only reason for causing the obstruction they could find was a UTI. He had no crystals. He's been on Royal Canine mod cal urinary SO (wet) since he came home from the hospital. He's been doing really well and has had...

Yes, he is on a canned diet.

My cat Raiden has been on a diet since his urinary obstruction in early July. He used to weigh 16lbs. He's been on the RC moderate Calorie SO since the obstruction and is now at 14 lbs. He is a large cat with a lot of fluff (long hair). Compared to my calico (whos 8.7lbs) he's much taller and...

It's only about $1.45 a can for the Royal Canine. So it's not too bad but 2 cans a day seems like so much to me. And they are the extra small cans. Do you think it would be bad to mix between the vet diet and a store-bought moist food? He is so picky and only likes chicken but it can't be chunky.

So Raiden had a trip to the ER a month ago and had a complete urinary blockage. Stress and a dry food only diet is what we believe the cause was. He had no stones or crystals but had a UTI. The vet was unsure if it was from the catheter or before the blockage (couldn't get a sample till later)...

Just wanted to give everyone an update: Raiden has been to really well....like unbelievably well. I have not gotten the surgery and I'm not sure I will get it for him anytime soon. He doesn't care about his brand new fountain anymore which sorta stinks but I add water to his Feline Urinary SO...

Before all of this he was on dry food (Fromm). After the blockage I switched him to moist. The ER vet gave me Hills C/D? it's the urinary one. Once I went to my local vet we got Royal Canine SO. So currently he's getting the Royal Canine SO moist. I add about 2-4 tablespoons of water with it as...

The vet just made it seem like even with the surgery his life will be difficult to manage. So I just don't know. We are probably going to do the surgery on Monday. I most definitely don't want to give up on him. Is it normal to have bloody urine with FIC and it not be a big concern? I'd this a...

Raiden recently had a complete urinary blockage. He got all fixed up at the ER vet this past weekend (been home since Sunday). Today he started to have blood in his urine two hours before his check up at our local vet. He ended up having a lot of bright red blood mixed with clots in his cat...

Yes, he's even peeing in the litter box. He was just playing with his favorite piece of paper (crumpled up) and he dribbled on the pet pads. Looks like it's not intentional so at least he's peeing. He goes to my regular vet on Friday. The vet before was the ER vet... 4th of July of course so I...

Forgot to add: it is about a teaspoon amount.

I called my vet today and they said it was normal but to just make sure he's making urine. He just came home on Sunday afternoon so you're right that his bladder might just be getting used to working again. I've also noticed it's when he's in a deep sleep (after the drugs are given).

My Raiden recently had a trip to the ER after a complete urinary obstruction. The urinalysis showed only a mild UTI, however, this was after the catheter was placed. The vet is unsure if the infection was pre-obstruction or post-obstruction acquired from the cath. Raiden has been doing well at...
