Is it 'Royal Canin diet feline Urinary S/O'? Where do you buy it? The only

I just feed ALL my cats the prescription diet. I use royal canin s/o which
is for both types of crystals. It's expensive, but I can't separate everyone's
food..........

***RANT ALERT (from a crazy nicotine addict in withdrawel)***
I've always been very happy with my vet's office....but I came very close to
opening up a can of [EMAIL PROTECTED] a bit ago. Those slap-happy receptionist
people are USELESS. If I had not asked a stream of questions I would have left
there not knowing a d*mn thing about his condition or how serious it is. The
[EMAIL PROTECTED] technician brought poor 22lb Antonio out ON HIS BACK (he
NEVER likes to be carried that way)...and he was in SO much pain. He just peed
everywhere, bless his little heart. He was screaming. This they did before I
even had time to check out or talk to the vet or do anything. Once they
finally put him down and let me hold him - he was a perfect angel and didn't
even pee on my silk shirt. He loves his mommy.
Then they forgot to give me the medicine he needs so I had to go back and get
it. They wouldn't have given me the special food if I had not said -- doesn't
he need some special prescription food too?????
The whole time they are just as slaphappy as they can be yapping up a storm
about how somebody did their hair or how cute some guy is or who did their
nails. Little do they know just how close they were to a big can opening. I
did my best to be gracious - but I am telling you - I STILL feel like going
back down there! That's my BABY!
It's serious because there are so many crystals in his urine that he could
have a complete blockage at any time....so I have to watch him carefully and
make sure he only eats HIS food and nobody else eats his food. Maybe it's just
the 8 days without nicotine but I honestly wanted to shake all of them and just
pop their heads together. Plus, it didn't help that my regular vet wasn't
there. The one who was there is very competent...but refused to give Antonio
anything for pain saying that the "anti-inflammatory was enough for his pain".
I hope he gets this same condition and only gets a steriod shot.
*** END RANT ALERT ***
Sorry -- it's going to take a few minutes before I can be nice again. I
promise, I'll try very hard.

Subject: Re: Antonio
Thank you, Phaewryn.
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.

The easy way out has a bad reputation.
Why would anyone take the hard way out?
