Male cat just diagnosed with urinary crystals. He is only 2 yrs old. [View all]
Cubby Bear has been visiting the litterbox very often and seemed to be straining at urination, but not putting out much and he seems to be licking his privates more often than usual. I took him to a new vet today because I couldn't get an appt. at his regular vet. They did imaging, labwork, full exam, and said he had crystals. I didn't pay for the bloodwork they recommended because he has an appt with his regular vet in 2 weeks. Sent me home with a 6 lb bag of Purina RX food ($44) and 4 cans (5oz) cans of UR Savory Select @ $4.19 per can. They said he will probably have these problems all his life.
Does anyone else have a cat that has bladder stones or struvite crystals? Is there a natural way to treat this? I have 5 other cats and can't imagine keeping his diet separate from what everyone else is eating?
