What else should/can we do for our 3 yr. old male cat who has been having bladder crystals (so urinary difficulty), other than the prescribed meds. (a blood pressure one, Gabapentin, & Elavil), and new Rx food (Royal Canin SO), plus some homeoathic d
Sounds like you all are doing quite a bit already. If you feel that pain is not well controlled the addition of something like buprenorphine may be beneficial. Also, there is a surgical procedure that is commonly performed on cats that get urinary blockages. Essentially the urinary tract is changed from a male to a female shape, thereby widening the urethra and making it much less likely to allow for obstruction in the future. Whether or not your vet is comfortable performing this procedure is another thing altogether. I know many vets that can perform it perfectly well while I know others that have never had to perform it a single time. It is a delicate procedure because the urethra of the cat is so small so finding a doctor that is comfortable with it is of utmost importance. If your cat is not a repeat offender or has not yet blocked completely, surgical change may not be the best option at this time. Continue following the directions of the doctor and be patient with waiti

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Based on the pictures you provided, I suspect this may be a bacterial skin infection. This may have been a pustule that has ruptured. I would recommend using the below products, which can all be found online quite easily. If these do not help, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Lalo if possible so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. 1. Douxo PS Chlorhexidine combination shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved 2. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the area 2-3 times per day until resolved 3. Welactin omega 3 fish oil 4.

Our Westie has went to the vet for a UTI and during the urinalysis struvite crystials were noted. She has been on C/D prescription diet for about 10 weeks to see if they clear up. In your article you mention that some animals are more predisposed to
They do make a pill known as DLM that helps lower the pH but if you lower it too much you can form calcium crystals in the urine that can lead to bladder stones as well. Either method takes frequent urine checks to monitor progress

I would not feed him anything except for the prescription diet. You can take the can version of the diet and put it in ice trays and freeze it to make treats for him. You could also look at the brand of prescription food and see if that have a compatible treat. You could even call the company and ask - most are more than willing to help. I hope this helps!

My cat was recently diagnosed with a lower urinary tract infection and crystals. He was prescribed veraflox and the vet recommended I switch his food to Royal Canin urinary SO. I have no problem buying the food, but it’s very expensive for the small
Hill’s Science Diet and Purina both make urinary diets that would likely be appropriate for Wheatly (although you should check with your vet). The cost might be a little different but most therapeutic diets are pretty similarly priced. There are no over the counter diets that have been proven to be effective against urinary crystals, and some over the counter diets can change the pH of the urine to make urinary issues worse.
