Mystic is seriously sick!

[Freedom]

So glad he is home!

Hmm, try to think positive. With 3 on the special food, you don't have to worry about someone eating the "wrong" stuff!

OK, I tried.

Praying that the food and Clavimox help him to feel better quickly. Even though by the sounds of it, he feels better just being HOME!

Yup, my thoughts exactly!

I'm going to try and feed the girls and Harry one food and the other boys seperately --- soooo much easier said than done. Otherwise I'm going to have to feed prescription food to 7 cats. I did it when I had 5 cats, so whats two more?

The funny thing? As I sat cross-legged on the bedroom floor and a stream of pee flew across the room and into my lap, all I could was, "drat, I can't get up and grab a container for the pee!" I kept thinking the pee was "wasted" on my jammies and comforter. Strange thoughts go through your head as your "baby" is sick.

I hope Mystic continues to improve.

I'm sorry to hear that he too has crystals. Hopefully the new diet and clavimox will help him feel better soon. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

I have to feed Alani & Blaze a different diet than my other four cats because they don't do well on a grain free diet. Luckily they're already used to eating in the hall bathroom away from the other four. Good luck with the new feeding routine.

I have a cat with pee issues and he has to be fed grain free. Well, I just feed all three of my boys grain free (I believe in it anyway) and that makes it simple. Ming has suffered from chronic blockages so he is on meds as well. I swear, my next cat will be a girl (I keep saying that....)

My silly boys! Pouncer and Mikey hated the CD food and refused to eat it. Now that they don't need to eat it, they want it

Mystic is still straining and is just awful to medicate - it taked two of us to get the liquid into his mouth. I could kick hubby for allowing the vet to give me liquid meds! I much prefer a good old pill over liquid any day.

Aw, so sorry about Mystic. Extra prayers and luvies for him!!!

So sorry about Mystic.

His bladder release, while unpleasant for you, could have saved his life.

I feed the urinary prescription Royal Canin SO to ALL the cats for this very reason. Even Little Kim needs to be on it as she was diagnosed with crystals way back when I first got her.

And I feel your pain about the liquid meds, give me a pill any day!!

Continuing prayers and good thoughts and healing energies for dear Mystic.

Kim,

I'm so sorry to hear about Mystic. Crystals is one of the reasons I've changed dry food for my cats. I give them Buffalo Wilderness. Haven't had a problem since.

Thoughts and prayers for Mystic. I'm here if you want to talk!

[Pinot's Mom]

So glad Mystic is home; but I'm sorry about the crystals. I am sure he'll continue to improve. Good luck! Kitty kisses for Mystic.

"I give them Buffalo Wilderness. Haven't had a problem since." Donna, I finally became convinced; it took 4 years. I bought Wilderness about two weeks ago and, after we work down the science diet a little more, I'll start the incorporation of the new food. I'm just a slow learner.

Donna convinced me to go with Blue Buffalo Wilderness dry. I swear by the stuff now!! I feed that and Solid Gold Indigo Moon, another fantastic dry food. They get Wellness for their canned. All of my boys have thrived on these foods!
