Pouncer at the vet

[auggie]

Kim, will this be your first water fountain?
You and your cats will love it. I can’t rave enough about it.
Phoenix had to have his bladder flushed twice in the past due to crystals.
This is one of the reasons I went back to feeding mostly wet food.
He seems to be doing well so far. I always check the litter box for the size of his pee biscuits. I’m currently looking into purchasing Prairie raw cat food.
I’m so glad that Pouncer is feeling better already.

Kim, I know exactly what you are going through. Before Tony went to the RB I had to keep tabs on him on a daily basis, then Smokey came along and had the same problems as Tony. I had the two of them on my hands for a few years. It seemed every time I turned around one of them was going to the vets for crystals or blockages. Smokey ended up with surgery because he was so chronic with developing crystals. It has been 5 years since surgery and I still watch for those tell-tale signs that something is wrong.

I hope Pouncer feels better soon.

Poor Pouncer. I really need prayers for him. He's so young for this to be happening already! I just have the feeling that in a year or two he'll be blocking fully and we'll be looking at that PU surgery.

I just want to relate my experience - unfortunately it happened 15 or so years ago and my memory on eveything is fuzzy, but my RB kitty Boo blocked severely at a young age (crystals) and once I switched him to the correct food (it was Hills - cannot remember the exact formula) he never had a problem again. He lived to be nine, I lost him from Lymphosarcoma , but his bladder remained healthy. It can be managed!

Glad to hear that he is home. I hope that he will be fine and have no more stones. Yes, it is good that you are able to be home with him and able to watch him. Sounds like he is acting pretty normal now, poor boy must have been uncomfortable before.
