@LTS3 I forgot to ask why you think I should not add parsley and carrots to the chicken broth? I've read that parsley is good for cats in moderation and carrots also contain vitamins for them.

Thanks for all the help and tips. I will leave out the parsley and carrots when making the chicken broth next time and I will try to increase canned food while decreasing dry food but I think I will try the Purina One (second link I posted) and stop giving the special kitty brand as I've read...

The broth is pretty plain. I put in some carrots & parsley. There is always fresh water available but he does not drink it often. I do understand that canned food is better but can cats get complete nutrition from just canned food? Is it possible that vets know something we don't? If not...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I took him to an emergency vet clinic recently and they were not sure what was wrong but prescribed prazosin and told me to keep an eye on him. He does not drink much, like most cats I guess, so I've started making chicken broth for him. So you don't think one of...

I also found this one, that's a bit less expensive. https://www.purina.ca/purina-one/cats/dry-cat-food/urinary-tract-health-formula

I've been looking after a 6 year old cat and he recently seemed to have trouble urinating. He seems to be doing much better now but I'd like to change the dry food I've been feeding him. I have not spoken to a vet about this but based on my research and recommendations on this forum and...

I've been reading up on urinary tract infections because it's possible that my cat has this and I found that giving them bone broth could help. Apparently, it should help flush out the bladder and avoid the buildup of harmful bacteria.

I hope your cat gets better soon and that the diagnosis shows he has improved and does not have any of those issues you mentioned.

They did not take a urine sample or do any other testing aside from feeling his bladder and doing an ultrasound. I think that because it's a vet emergency clinic, they did not do any other testing because they felt that it's best to leave that to a normal vet. The only thing that the vet...

He might be a little overweight but he's muscular. He would freak out if I kept him inside. He is very friendly with me and good natured but he is very jumpy and cries if I do not let him out within 3-4 minutes. It would be very difficult to get him to be calm, maybe even moreso now that he...

I took him to an emergency vet clinic on Saturday and they did not think he was blocked. I have considered the possibility that they were wrong but they said he had just a little urine in his bladder. Wouldn't there be a lot if he was blocked? He was neutered about 5 years ago and I have out...

Your cats look a lot like mine, who is a feral cat. If they allow you to go inside (where I am, this is not possible) ask if you can go in and try to calm him down.

I've been feeding a stray cat since he was a kitten and in the last few days, I noticed that he seemed to be having trouble urinating. I called a local vet and they advised me to take him to a vet emergency hospital because this could be life threatening. They said it could be a blockage. I...
