Changing food and urinary crystals
Phoenix is in the hospital with urinary crystals. He has to stay until tomorrow, when the catheter is removed. Two weeks ago I bought Wellness cat food and fed a half and half combination of the Wellness and the Science Diet dry cat food.
My vet seems to think that the food switch caused the urinary crystals.
I’m very confused and feel somewhat guilty, because my poor boy was in a lot of pain last night.
Phoenix was put on Orbax Tablets 22.7mg and this is what I found on the net:
Side Effects:
The use of endrofloxacin (Baytril) can produce crystals in urine.
While this has not been reported with orbifloxacin (Orbax) there is no reason to think that orbifloxacin cannot form crystals in urine as well.
Now I’m even more confused.
At least his x-ray showed no Kidney stones. What a relief!
