Need to find something similar
Ok guys. I am having another dilema. Tigger had crystals and has been on special diet and meds for past 1 1/2 weeks. Well since that time he has had the runs. Not only that, past 4 days he has been throwing up the food.
I am returning the bag of food. Can someone suggest what to put him on...Please |

Rottielover I seem to remember buying a case of canned cat food from the Vet's office for my neighbour's cat who was on it for life because of uroliths. Why don't you cruise the Science Diet and Hill's products lists to see what you can find?

Rottielover are you sure it's the food that's making him have diarrea & vomiting? maybe it's the antibiotics?

I tend to agree with growler that it could very well be the antibiotics that are causing the digestive upset. I would talk to your vet about either finding a different one or stopping them all together as you risk having an inappetant cat if nausea and vomiting continue. HOWEVER, on top of that, please get your cat off of dry food!!! No cat with urinary tract issues should be eating dry. Read this website for more details: http://www.catinfo.org/

he has been on the antibiotics before, no reaction, that is why I know it is the food. I will be putting him on uretic by wysong. It is formulated for cats with this issue. Trying it tonight, will keep you posted on how that goes.

Just so you know, 23% of the calories in Wysong Uretic come from carbohydrates, which is too high for an obligate carnivore. Is there any particular reason you don't want to feed wet food? (Not to be a nag or anything . . . )

If he needs the vet food but it is giving him the runs why not try one of the digestive shakes you can sprinkle on top to help with the upset. Most pet stores carry them, I had to use one for Windy for a while and it worked great. You only have to use it long enough to get them back to normal poops. And that way he's still getting the special food. If you want I can check which one I used....

My dog also had urinary problems and was put on a special diet and had diarrhea as yours did. I gave her biobest yoghurt and it stopped the diarrhea. This was after we had tried three fasts through the vet. It seems the antibiotic had stripped her bowels of her regular bacterial. We found a solution with Hill's cd canned, for urinary crystals. It gives her more water, since there is so much in the can. We also test her ph at home, and take in regular samples that they test right there at the vets. We also had an ultrasound done. It showed a thickening in the bladder wall probably from a long standing problem with crystals. The yoghurt was a last resort, a few years back, but it worked. We also tried a diet of just chicken and rice, boiled which stopped the diarrhea, but then we needed to get a high quality canned food that would do the trick. It is expensive but worth it. I hope you get your rottie to the vet soon. THe diet depends on which type of crystals are being produced. Hope this helps.
