If the vet says it is kidney stones, there's special food he can eat to alleviate the problem in the future. Don't panic, just talk calmly with the vet. Make sure it's not just a urinary tract infection.

Yep - my cat had sand or crystals in his urine, and now he has a special food. It got rid of the crystals.

Just ask your vet - your kitty might also need some antibiotics for a few days.

I know it looks bad, but quite a few cats get it.

It's really common, and a change in food often does the trick! But make sure you have the vet get a good conclusive urine sample, because the kind of food he needs depends on exactly what kinds of stones are in his urine.

Get him to the vet right away, and find out what kind of food he needs. Meanwhile, make sure he's got plenty of fresh water to drink, and offer him some canned food because that's got water in it too.

Love, Columbine

The prescription foods are quite expensive. Ask your vet about them cause there are several. There is one by Hill's called S/D Feline and there is one by Royal Canin called URINARY S/O. In My opinion out of these 2 I would use the Royal Canin as it deals with both types of crystals whereas the Hill's only deals with one and can sometimes cause the others.

There are also others so like I said give your vet a call and find out what types are available where you live. If you tell me the country you live in I can get you the price on the Royal Canin food.
