Uh oh, I think one of mine has a bladder infection :(

She *is* young! She is 1 year and 7 months. I used to have a PetMate water fountain until it broke and I was just mentioning to my fiance last night that this is a good reason to get a new one! But for now I just have three bowls of water sitting out at all times. I'll be sure to try the cranberry treats too. Thanks!

It's great that you keep lots of water out all the time, but I have learned that it is the "freshness" more than anything that they go for. What I mean is, the more often you change the water, the better. So in other words .... change the bowl several times per day with cold water! Be sure she knows when you've just put a brand new bowl full down. Most of my cats don't like it after it has been sitting out for a while.

When Oscar got his crystals and infection, I was told about the food immediately and changed to Royal Canin SO. I spent about $400 treating Oscar for a month. The food costs me about $15 a month (that's with TWO cats). And the food cured the crystals.

There are several really good UT foods around.

I hope Tabitha feels better soon!

hugs!

There are some really good foods out there for crystals/urinary health, however there are several types of crystals a pet can have and not all foods can take care of or are formulated for all kinds of crystals. A vet would have to determine first which type of crystals they are first before deciding which food (if any) would be more beneficial.

Crystals are somewhat common in cats, but tend to be more of a problem for male cats typically as they have a smaller ureathral opening for crystals to pass.
