Like you, my Pouncer was diagnosed with crystals this week. He's currently on Hills SD to help break up the crystals, then in two months we'll move to the CD. The vet said there ARE alternatives out there like ProPlan's urinary health formula, but its NOT enough to help a cat that already has crystals. If we fed the cats that food from the beginning.... we might not have crystals, then again we might. I looked at my bill.... just under $20 for a 4 pound bag of the SD. YIKES :eek: BUT... thats nothing compared to what costs I might accrue if he's NOT on the food. I'll gladly pay the extra money for each bag of food and not worry about emergency treatment for blockage, or even surgery if the blockages don't clear/dissolve.
At least now you know why she's been peeing inappropriately and now you can watch for signs of the crystals getting worse.

Wow, I can't believe Pouncer and Marshmallow were diagnosed in the same week! Poor furkids.
Science diet C/D is $11 dollars for a four pound bag. Luckily, Marshmallow eats only a 1/2 cup a day, if that. I guess, averaged out, that isn't very much per day.
I hope Pouncer feels better very soon!
