I rescued Auggy from a vet clinic I worked at after his owner didn't want him anymore (couldn't afford the high cost of dealing with a cat with FLUTD). He came in with a suspected blockage, but his bladder was flushed easily and we found no blockage. He had blood in his urine and he "leaked" all over the place in his cage.
When I brought him home, it only took a couple of weeks for him to return to his "normal" self. I put him on a prescription diet (Medi-Cal Dissolution Formula). He was on it for a few months and then I switched him over to Natural Balance. He was doing AWESOME for an entire year --- until the apartment fire.
He was taken from our apartment to a friends place and then to this new apartment. He was extremely stressed out, inappropriate urination, dripping urine, licking his nether regions etc. He is great now since he has settled in, but I know what caused it - it was totally my fault.
One night, I realized the cats were out of food and all of the pet stores were closed. DH had to run out and buy some Cat Chow ( ). Then the fire happened and Auggy had to stay with a friend. Guess what she fed him? Cat Chow... It made his urine extremely acidic (I could smell it).
Now I am wondering what the best commercial premium cat food is (for urinary tract health)? I have read that Felidae contains cranberries for urinary tract health, but is that really my only option? Don't get me wrong, I love Felidae since it's high quality and inexpensive. Do you have any brands you want to suggest?
Sorry to ramble, but I have three male cats and really want to make sure that have good urinary tract health.
