My friend's cat, Skunk, spent the last couple of weeks back & forth
between the vet & home. It all started with blood in her urine.
The first diagnosis was a bacterial infection and everything seemed
fine until a few days later when blood appeared again. The second
visit to the vet involved a catheter up the urinary tract to see
if there were any obstructions. None were found but the urine culture
indicated pieces of bladder flesh floating around. Next step was
an x-ray which showed kidney stones. Skunk was operated on and
spent another couple days at the vet. So, after a couple of weeks
of worrying and a few hundred dollars, everything seems fine.
(Oh, I forgot to mention the unscheduled Sunday morning trip to the vet
when we found her bleeding on her tummy. Her outside stitches
disintegrated or something & she had to get new ones.)
Anyway, she's on that C/D diet now. Has anyone else's cat experienced
kidney stones?

My Argus, who is now at in the hospital for his latest bout with
FUS was developing stones about two years ago, but the vet was able
to give him something to desolve the stones without surgery. While
Gus eats dry C/D, the moist food he gets is S/D (Stone Diet) which
is also from Hills. There have been no more signs of stones since
we switched to the S/D.
I do hope Skunk is feeling better; stones are very painfull.

| 289.2 | More info please | EUREKA::HARQUAIL | Wed Apr 08 1987 01:40 | 13 | |
I know this note is a year old please direct me if there is more
info. We've just noticed Mersault a male who was nuetered this
Feb. Has blood in his urine. I noticed it 2 days ago but didn't
know what it was or who, we also have another cat and a dog.
Anyways tonight i noticed him frequently straining to urinate.
and red color in that dimes size attempt. So we will call the vet
tommorrow FUS was mentioned to me.
I would just like to be prepared for what we might be in for?
Also what is the stone diet and c/d diet? Both cats get wet food
with a small dish of dry to share.
THanks
