I’m headed to the vet next week with my male cat. Since we got him he has had mushy soupy loose poop, the non-clumping pee issue and horribly pungent pee. He has been previously diagnosed with cryptosporidium—I’m sure he had it when we adopted him but nobody told us the truth. Maybe this persistent bug could be the culprit. The mushy poop consistency has since been getting better (he’s now 14 months old and the vet thought he might grow out of this with proper food —I/D—- and 2x daily pills of Tylan. So it’s vastly improved the feces, but it’s still structurally deficient and way more offensive than I think it should be. But the pee problem persists. Maybe there is a “crystals” issue, or maybe there is some other kind of health issue going on besides the nasty parasite that he may never get rid of. I witness him drinking water—-something I almost never see with my female cat who has no issues with these things—although her poop is much drier and comes in pieces and her pee is perfectly round and scoopable every time. So I shall report back on this thread once he gets his full visit and body fluids analysis. Or if I come up with other solutions or theories.
I would love an upset...I have 3 cats, one is a 22 pound blind male whose pee won't clump... concerned about a health issue like diabetes...fyi I try to control his diet, but he just decides to eat the dogs food when his bowl is empty, and the other cats act like I am starving them (they are a healthy weight)... same litter, 2 boxes (same type)... even made his extra deep thinking maybe saturation was the issue. It helps some, but one can only go do deep in a littler box... lol
Hmmmm. The drinking of more water could be a factor for this issue, now that I think about it. All urine, blood analyses came back normal. But he does have a tendency to drink from the fresh water bowl more so often than she does. So maybe that could cause the clumping issue. I hadn’t thought about that. Anyone else have a similar thing?
