oh lordy..... cystitis is such a pain - literally for the poor babies. One way to control who gets what is to have set meal times.
Bandit gets the same food as Smoky by default. The food we use is the Royal Canin Urinary SO - it normalizes pH so it's OK for kits w/o the problems. But it is fairly high calorie. Smoky had a HORRIBLE winter last year, twice to the ER even. But on the SO food and the glucosamine/chondroitin supplement, Smoky hasn't had an outbreak since last February(knocking on wood). For the glu/chon, I just buy the human stuff - the double strength and one capsule split between the two boys with their wet food supper.

I just talked to the vet. Antonio has a lot of struvite crystals in his urine...and a lot of red and white blood cells as well. No blockage - thank goodness -- but I need to be on the lookout for that. They gave him a steroid for the inflammation and a shot of antibiotics -- I think we'll be doing antibiotics for at least 14 days. Wants me to change his diet to prescription c/d....but it bothers me that the 3rd ingredient in this catfood is corn gluten meal. Anyway - it's going to take some logistical ingenuity to figure out how to feed one cat one thing -- and seven others something else. We had recently switched to the chicken soup light formula...but the vet really does not think that is what caused it. I'm getting ready to go get the boy - just can't focus here at work without him. Dr. Jones saw him today and said that Antonio is SUCH a good kitty. and he is. elizabeth On 1/8/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Sending healing vibes and positive energy for Antonio!
