Kim, I'm so sorry to hear that Pouncer is still having problems. Since Storm's PU Surgery, he's had a few UTI's and a few struvite crystal episodes. He was on Royal Canin Urinary S/O both dry and canned and he loved it and so did all of my other cats. I also used to mix both the wet and dry together and I'd add some water to it to give him more moisture.

Now since Starr has colitis and IBD problems, I've been feeding everyone a grain free diet. Both my vet and my holistic vet have approved for Storm to also be on a grain free diet. The holistic vet told me that the grains in cat food can actually cause urinary tract problems.

Now I feed my cats Innova Evo dry and Evangers Organic Turkey and Butternut Squash Dinner canned food mixed in with a little bit of Innova Evo canned food. The Evangers gives them the extra fiber that they need since the Innova Evo wet and dry doesn't have much fiber. I feed Storm a wet mixture of both canned foods and I add a fair amount of water to it so it's a soupy consistency. I then give him a little bit of dry food after he's finished with this. He gets 4 small feedings a day and 2 are like this one and 2 are dry food only. So far he's doing very well.

The surgeon who performed Storm's surgery told me that sometimes cats that have had the PU surgery will block again because either the surgery isn't done correctly or if they've had a lot of blockages before they've had the surgery. She said that the more they've been catheterized the more likely that they'll develope scar tissue. Storm was catheterized 1 time before he had the surgery and the 2nd time that they tried they couldn't get a catheter in him because he had what they thought was scar tissue. This is the reason why he had to have his PU surgery done by a certified surgeon and why it cost me a lot more than if I had it done at my vet.

I sure hope that Pouncer will get well soon and that he'll continue to stay well. I also believe that stress can be a contributing factor for crystals. Storm is now also on some herbal calming pills to help his aggressive behavior and to help keep him calm. I also think it helps him with to avoid stress. Good luck.
