Yeah, a gray box certainly would have helped. You should ask a moderator why posting links is a problem when others can post their links.Sorry, that wasn't me explaining. That was copied and pasted from another site after searching on struvite crystals. Should have put it in quotes. Any time I post a link to another site, the post gets edited or deleted. I was merely concerned the cat might be in pain, diet might be a factor.
I, myself, do not feed a raw diet, either. Still learning the dry cat food, full of filler/grains, was bad for my last kitty.
I do blame myself. Lost my sweet girl 4/6/11 and still can't come to terms with her loss. Someday maybe I will introduce myself and share her life. Still too soon.Yeah, a gray box certainly would have helped. You should ask a moderator why posting links is a problem when others can post their links.
Unfortunately, Emily would not even sniff anything except dry food. She also was extremely picky about water - a fountain would have been a good thing for her if only I had an outlet to plug it into. So I know firsthand there are some cats who simply can't be forced to drink more water, eat canned food, or (for those who like doing this) switch to raw food. For these cats, you can't be guilty of feeding them junk food all the time.
Any update on Avery?Avery went to the vets this am the Doc took some urine and tested it and i should be called in the am with the results. he told me to keep feeding him the rx food and he also gave him an injection for inflammation. he will prescribe antibiotics if need be.i asked about raw foods and apple cider vinegar and my vet said NO 1 step at a time and hopefully my cat doesnt have anything serious. next step may be an ultrasound to see if he has anything unusual inside wish him luck. he is the most sweetest and loving pet in our home. i inserted 2 small videos
thank you,

what does this have to do with the original post? just curiousI do blame myself. Lost my sweet girl 4/6/11 and still can't come to terms with her loss. Someday maybe I will introduce myself and share her life. Still too soon.
I am very thankful for this site, allowing cat owners to come together to share knowledge and help each other.
Nothing at all. Just replying to Emily regarding the poor quality cat food I was feeding my cat not realizing the long term effects. Wish I would have found this site earlier.Unfortunately, Emily would not even sniff anything except dry food.

If you'd rather I take it offline, via PM, not a big deal. I've tried to do this but am limited to 5 PMs a day so this does not always work. I would like to try and help others if they are going down the same path unknowingly. One of the first reasons I replied to your post, hoping it was not related to food.
my cat has a food issue can only eat rx wet food and he is so fussy. i have to put it away once he is done as well as keep the dry food hidden and feed our other cat separately. the vet told me today do not leave the dry food out. so now i have to take out both to feed them separately. i hope this works. avery does have crystals again and if this Regimen doesnt work ii have run out of ideas as to what to do."

No worries. ;-) I am fairly new to site as well. Some forums do not like 'hijacking'' threads. I was not intentionally doing so, but that is sort of what it is when it is off topic from original post. Makes it harder for others to follow. I am not a very public person, and prefer to direct most things via PMs, but cannot do so when limited to PMs.its fine. I was curious as i didnt see the other thread until now have a great night i am sorry i am new to site and didnt see it

Hi and welcome to the Cat Site! This thread is almost a year old and it is unlikely the original poster will be back to answer your question. Why don't you start a thread of your own, asking for advice?My cat looks just like yours. He urinated just like your picture this morning and while he was eating. How is your cat. Did you find out how to fix the kitty?:chescat:
