Hi everyone,
I been dealing with this issue for about a year now. My Intact 4 year old male cat is suffering from what I’m guessing FLUTD. I taken him ASPCA hospital about 4-5 times and they do not know what’s going on with him and at this point they told me he has chronic urinary issues. They did x-rays, urinalysis, ultrasounds, urine cultures. No infection found & only struvite crystals but the vet doesn’t think that’s a big issue since he is only on wet food diet for about 8 months now. I feed him the fancy feast classic line such as chicken and turkey pate only with about 4 TAblespoons added in each small meal about 4 times a day with 1 pill of cosequin because the prescription foods are so expensive. But he has not gotten better at all. He is the only cat, no kids around. No stressors, clean litter box every night. I do not know what to do and the vet doesn’t know what to do either. I really did not want to put him on a prescription diet because of all the junk they put in them & the cost but I guess I have to put him back on it. I ordered 2 cases of Dave’s restricted pork diet to see if this helps him in anyway. If that doesn’t I guess I have to go back to Hills C/D. Has anyone else been through this? Do you recommend to put him on strictly Dave’s restricted food only and see what happens? I’m very tired and stressed out. I love him so much. Any advice is appreciated.
