True urinary tract infections are extremely rare in young cats. More likely, it was a case of urinary tract inflammation, probably caused by crystals. Did the vet do a culture and sensitivity on a urine sample acquired via cystocentisis?

What is the kibble that Milford currently eats? Any possibility you could completely eliminate it and feed only wet? While dry food is not a good idea for any cat, it's a particularly bad idea for male cats with a history of FLUTD. Some worthwhile reading on the subject: http://www.catinfo.org/feline_urinary_tract_health.htm
