A few new pics of both kitties

It's great to see all of your furkids and I'm glad that they all get along well. What is FUS? I've never heard of this term before.

Feline Urinary syndrome, also known as feline lower urinary tract disease or FLUTD. Basically, she gets inflammation in her bladder off and on for no apparent reason. There are no crystals, no bacteria, but every few months she starts getting blood in her urine and urination becomes very painful. It LOOKS just like a UTI.

Now she gets subQ fluids twice a week, she's on a urinary diet because my vet feels that it will benefit her even though she doesn't have crystals, and when she flares up she gets a short round of pred. I'm hoping that us moving to a wetter, cooler environment will help her too.

I didn't realize she was having a flare-up at first this last time because she was peeing on the floor and Jasper was licking it up, YUCK! I noticed her grooming herself less and getting sensitive about her tummy being touched and started the pred, then caught her peeing on the floor the next day.

Poor girl. Do you feed her any canned food? My Storm was blocked 2 times and he had to have the PU surgery but even after that he would still sometimes have UTI's and one time he even had some more struvite crystals. This was when he was on Royal Canin Urinary S/O in both dry and canned form. I know that every cat is different but since he's been on a grain free diet and eating mainly canned food mixed with some water, he's never had any more urinary issues. Some people have also used Cosequin on their cats to help strengthen the bladder. Good luck.

She is eating some wet food and some kibble. I know her diet will probably need an overhaul sometime in the near future, but I've decided to figure out what I want to do once we're settled into our new place.
