I believe the Hills S/D disssolves the crystals, and three months is the maximum a cat can stay on the diet. Royal Canin S/O prevents both kinds of crystals. I went through this routine with Taranis but she's so overweight (and was when I adopted her) that I've changed her to a lower calorie Royal Canin diet. I'm hoping that the lower stress she is under now will reduce the risk of crystals forming - but we will see. It seems that a diet that combines blocking crystal formation and weight reduction isn't available yet.Originally Posted by Randi
Tracy, I'm so glad to hear the good news. I'm sure he's feeling a lot better now, and I hope he continues to be healthy.
Is it the diet that dissolves the crystals, he's eating? Fister had those (Hills S/D) for a while, and then changed to C/D. They are supposed to prevent cats from getting them in the first place. I think my vet said that he should not continue with the ones that dissolve the crystals, but ask your vet about this.
Kisses and headbumpies to Storm from me and the orange boy.
Edited to add: Good news about Storm!
