We have a two year old nueterd male cat. He was just admitted to the vet hospital and will be there at least 3 or 4 days. His symptoms were constant peeing and then eventually blood instead of pee.
The vet said he has a stone that is stuck in his urinary tract. They put a cathater in since he couldn't pee on his own now. This is also suppose to allow the stone to pass.
This is supposedly diet related (to much ash) and is common in male nueterd cats around 2 years of age? Only in rare cases do they have to operate to get the stone to pass. His diet will need to be changed to a low ash product.
My questions: 1.) Has anyone else ever had this happen to their cat or heard of it happening? 2.) When you changed the diet what food did you switch too?
Thanks for helping out with info.
