Calcium Oxylate stones/crystals

[jenluckenbach]

Rutherford's bladder stone is Calcium Oxylate, the opposite of the crystals that his current food prevents.......SO, they are starting him on a different food. Eukanuba Moderate PH. Has anyone used this? Has anyone else's cat had these stones/crystals and what are YOU feeding? And the one thing I wonder, and will be asking the vet (but if anyone knows.....) is: Could he have gotten these crystals BECAUSE of the C/D food? Maybe regular cat food would be OK for him? Let me tell you, this food is PRICE--EEE. $16 for a 5.5 pound bag. :eek: I sure hope he eats it. :p

PHew! That is HIGH!! But we gotta do what we gotta do to keep our babies healthy. Hope you find a solution that isn't so expensive!

Boy he really is turning into the million dollar cat! :D

Have you tried their website? Sometimes the companies offer coupons if you sign up with them online as a frequent buyer, etc.

Jen,

Hill's makes a diet for Oxylate crystals: http://www.hillspet.com/zSkin_2/products/product_details.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=8455244417 60654&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302024497&bmUID=1108073609468

Feline X/D comes in wet and dry. If your vet offers Hill's, they can get X/D. (I used to do the food ordering at the vet, its VERY easy to order a different/new food.)

Poor you, poor Rutherford. This has to be frustrating and wareing on you.

Gentle hugs to you both. :)

I know both Randi and Barbara could give you more information. Unfortunately they are both incapacitated at the moment. (Barbara is on vacation).

Unfortunately I have no idea which food is better or worse - sorry, Jen.
