Hi All-

Sorry it's been pretty crazy around my place. Ashley does have both types of crystals, more struvite crystals the the oxalate ones but she did have both.

The plan for right now is to take Ashley off the valium since I was only giving it to her once a day now and to feed all the cats Hill's Prescription food C/D multiformula.

For a 20 lb. bag the cost is $56.19 w/tax it's $59.56, they do accept coupons, which I printed one off from Hill's website (they have a $5 coupon ) and the grand total for just a 20 lb bag is $54.56

I wish I could find a tad cheaper cat food for everyone but I will do what I have to do. Claudia needs the cat food as well, since she still has a few crystals but it's not as bad as Ashleys. I bought a 4 lb bag just to try everyone out on it and everyone seems ok with it but man $60 each time is a lot of $$ when I was used to spending $32.85 for a 15 lb. bag which we just recently switched everyone to, to help slow down vet bills.

I had a luggage bag sitting out yesterday and Ashley peed on my bag and I got it at a yard sale a few years ago so I just tossed it out. I've been trying to keep Ashley in the bedroom with 2 other cats (the 2 she likes) and keeping the 3 boys who tend to harass her out in the living room/dining room and kitchen area and it's hard to keep doing that but if it helps her out I guess it's worth it.

I'm hoping she doesn't continue to spray more and more. She seems very happy when she's in the bedroom without the boy cats that harass her.

I just have to keep an eye on her and hopefully she stops, if she doesn't stop the peeing/spraying she'll have to have an ultrasound done to see if she has a bladder stone.

Please say a pray that things turn out well.

Melissa
