My sugar boy has just spent four days at the vet for a urinary blockage. The vet said it was crystals, not stones. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has been faced with this. I'm looking thru all the charts for food ideas, but is there anyone out there that can tell me what they are feeding for this dual condition??? Thank you in advance :-)
 
Hi Susan I'm sorry to hear about your kitty
I hope he's feeling better
Hi Tyler was blocked once, had to take him to the ER ,

the mucus plug, was blocked ,I needed to change his food.
He's been in remission since 1-24-21
The food that was suggested by the ER was too high in carbs so I found this and have been feeding this , never raised his BG and knock on wood hadn't been blocked since

Purina Pro Plan Urinary Tract Health Beef & Chicken Entree flavor Pate

Purina Pro Plan Urinary Tract Health Chicken Entree

They are both low carb and low in phosphorus


The Purina Pro Plan Urinary Tract Health is low carb and low phosphorus
Beef and Chicken Entree pate
Carbs are around 4.80
Phosphorus is 1.44 dry matter

They also have Chicken Entree in Gravy which isn't pate it like tiny pieces of chicken like the size of a chicklet piece of gum lol remember them, they are like tiny tiny chunks
Carbs are 4.5
Phosphorus 0.78 dry matter

So he doesn't get bored I give him some Tiki Cat Succulent Chicken in Chicken Consume , they are shreds of chicken
Carbs 0.338
Phosphorus 0.93

I put about a teaspoon full on top of the Pro Plan , I cut the chicken shreds up because Tyler likes it that way lol

I have a Pet Smart by me so I just run in there to pick them up
Petco has them too
At least you can buy a few cans and see if she likes it

Here's the Beef & Chicken Entree

My vet said this was a good food to feed Tyler
 
The catinfo website has a page on urinary issues. One week after Neko was diagnosed diabetic, her buddy was diagnosed with cystitis and I was asking the same questions about food as you are. The vet suggested raw food, which I did, but basically any low carb food that is lower in phosphorus with plenty of water added did the trick.
