Thread: Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease

Just a quick update on Marquis's condition...
He is doing well, passing urine without any problems

While initially, he wasn't too keen on Hill's prescription diet, he is getting used to it.
He drinks a lot, always has, but I'll look into this fountain anyway.

On a side note, the vet thought Marquis was just a wee bit overweight,but at 8.5kg I don't think he is that fat..he's just big

All in all, despite the scare he gave me, it turned out well.....except for the nasty bill!...

Thanks for all the help!

Sincerely
Brian

Glad to hear he is doing better. If he has always drunk plenty of water then a fountain may not be worthwhile. I still would look at how many times per day he is peeing, though, as maybe he doesn't drink as much you think. Our two boys will often pee 3-4 times per day, with very substantial clumps left in the litter (so quite a bit at one time). I know that one of the adaptations that cats have from their desert heritage is the ability to concentrate their urine, but I would assume this would be very bad for a cat having crystal formation problems.

So glad he's doing better
