Homey's crystals are struvite, very few calcte.  She geets fitered water in 
fountains along with e other 6 cats in my house.  We have 8 litter boxes tat 
are scooped out at least 2 times a day.  I use a corncob litter because it is 
biodegradeble, doesn't track more than clay and hadles odors very well.  I 
hadeveryone on Blue Buffalo Duck and sweet potato mixed 1/2 with turkey and 
sweet potato becauseCasey has troube with the dck, think it is to rich for her 
(14 years old).  The food was dry.  Vet now has her on Hill's SD and gave her a 
shot of Convenia antibiotic to get her started toward healing.  He also did 
Cystocentesis ad sent urine sample off for cultures (aerobic and anaerobic) to 
determine exactly which bacteria was involved so he can giveherthe right 
antibiotic.  The shot and SD seem to be helping as urine balls in boxes re all 
close to normal size,  This is the 3rd timethis year, that s why he did the 
cultures.The last time, she refused the SD, bt it had been sitting on the 
floor of he van onthe way home so was nice and warm.  She and others ate it up. 
 I also got some SD dry just in case she decides she does not like the canned.  
Thought about mixing dry into wet. Where can I get these other foods you 
menioned?  As to cranberry, tried giving her some and only way to get it in her 
was to spend 20 minutes trying to catch her and rub t on her feet.  Then she 
avoids me for at least 1 hr afterwards.

 Forgive me as I have missed the beginning of this email thread.  With
 respect to urinary crystals diet is huge.  Every cat that has ever
 been brought to me with crystals has responded to diet with complete
 eradication of crystals (make sure you know what type of crystals
 you're dealing though).  Raw diet is the key.  If you can't do raw,
 the high quality canned foods like Fromm, Go, Wellness work quite
 well.  You can still do some dry but it has to be the good stuff -
 Orijen or Fromm would be my recommendation.  I always add some
 cranberry to it if they'll take it just to avoid UTIs.  It takes about
 four weeks if the crystals are bad and in the meantime you have to
 make sure they do not become obstructed (that often takes vet strength
 food or catheter or suprapubic taps.
 
 Hope this helps.

Subject: [Felvtalk] sturvite crystals, bladder infection

My Homie has a lot of crystals and an infection.  The vet did a cystocentesis 
on her today in addition to urinalysis and sent a sample in for cultures and 
sens (aerobic and anaerobic) so we can find out which antibiotic will stop the 
bacteria infection.  Iam also starting her on Hills s/d which he said would 
help disolve the crystals.  I have been giving her a cranberry paste but he 
said that would clear out a lot of the junk in her bladder, but not do enough 
to disolve the crystals.  Plus, we spend at least 20 minutes running arond the 
house every time I get it out.  I swear she smells it because even tho she is 
not in the room when I get it out, she starts ducking and dodging to avod me.  
I feel like a cutting horse trying to out guess her and figure which way she is 
going to go next.  Thisis her 3rd time this year with this.  
 Anyone know of wholistic helps for this situation?  I tought of vitamin C 
since it is acidic and might disolve them some.

Try some acidophilus in the food (probiotics), and it will help. If the cat

or have your vet give you some Metronidazole - 1/4 pill 2x day.

you don't even have to measure out a dosage, whatever you give, will be fine.

There's something else my vet gave me, and I cannot remember the name.  It's a

 Felv. I think vets don't have much experience w FIV or Felv cats except
 for the sick ones that come in and book learning, and the party line is to
 isolate Felv cats  so i understand. But I still find varying opinions
 among vets some more flexible than others.

  Hi - I have been reading a lot of people saying that they have been
  mixing the cats.  But I called my vet and he again said that it is
  risky.  There is still a risk and chance the others could get it.  And
  they may not pull out of it like my cat Chloe FELV) did during the first
  fever.  I wouldn't want my other cat, Kitty to come down with it.  The
  other male cat I have, Lion, has AIDS (FIV).  I think he would be more
  susceptible of getting it even though he's been boostered with the
  Leukemia booster.
  I would like to adopt Chloe out (FELV) also because the trio don't get
  along.  They only get along in two's.  In other words, Chloe and Lion
  get along.  But when you put Kitty into the mix, they become
  territorial.  Vice versa.  Kitty now gets along with Lion since Chloe
  has been out of the picture.  I would love to find Chloe a home with one
  other feline leukemia cat so she can have a buddy.  I am still trying.
  But I'm open to ideas and input.  Dotty

  Dot,  if your other cats are current on vaccinations and are negative, I
  see no reason why you shouldn't mix them.  Like I've said before, I've
  mixed mine in the past and never have I had a negative become infected.
 
  My 2 cents.

  Hi April - My vet didn't know anything about the 5 stages of the
  disease  Can you believe this.  O.K.  So, what do you know about the
  5 stages?  What does it mean?  I think I heard that if your cat can make
  it through all five stages, then they have developed an immunity to the
  disease.  Anyway, how is it keeping your cat apart from the others?  My
  cat is so lonely.  It breaks my heart.  She wants to play with the
  others. Esp the male cat who she knows from the clan where i rescued the
  two of them.  I really would love to adopt her out.  Just having a hard
  time finding someone.  P.S. - I like the name Spicy!  It is cute.  Dot

  Hi Dot,
 
  This is all new to me too.  I do have other cats at home, Spicy lives in
  a bedroom by herself.  She has two windows to look out of, a cat tree
  and a sofa.  Spicy has had no signs of the illness.  So I didn't know
  she had it.  I adopted her the first weekend in June and took her to the
  vet a week later.  The receptionist at my vets was the one that stressed
  getting the test done because she knew that the shelter I adopted her
  from didn't test, I had no idea.  So for a week she was with my other
  cats.  I just looked it up there are 6 stages of FELV.  Spicy is in
  stage 5.

Yes but what about a positive IFA test at 10 weeks old... Too young or still 
accurate...?
