Cat Food - urinary infection feline; crystals feline diet; pet nurse marie feline recipes kidney disease:
Question i have 3 cats. My one cat was at the vet Sunday, and they did a urine test. They said they think it was a urinary track infection, and gave him a needle, and took a urine test. Hes been fine since, Playing, eating, drinking,and going to the bathroom. The vet called tonight with the results and said he has crystals. and that he should be on a special food for 6 weeks. Does he still have to go on that food even since hes been fine? Also would the other cats be able to eat it, and would it be a life long food, he would have to be on? Thanks

Hi - would you like to cook for you cat? With the urinary crystals you need the food, from the vet or you can make this:
Dr. Pitcairn's Feline Diet for Kidney Problems
1 1/3 cups (2/3 pound) ground chicken, turkey or lean heart
4 cups cooked white rice
4 eggs
2 tablespoons cold-pressed safflower, soy or corn oil
1,500 milligrams calcium
1/8 teaspoon iodized salt
1/8 teaspoon potassium chloride (optional , for a saltier flavor)
1 teaspoon parsley, finely grated carrot or other vegetable
(optional)
5,000 IU vitamin A
Taurine and other cat vitamins (about 5 days' worth)
50 milligram level B complex (or 10 milligrams per day)
2,500 milligrams vitamin C (½ teaspoon sodium ascorbate)
Mix everything together in a large bowl. Serve raw if the cat will
accept it. Otherwise, mix all but the vitamins together, bake about
20 minutes in a moderate oven and then wait until it cools to mix in
the vitamins. Occasionally, substitute 1 to 3 teaspoons of liver for
part of the meat.

When switching to a homemade diet, please consult with your vet about
your kitty's particular needs.
Some of these recipes have 'general' guidelines, which may or may not
be suitable for your cat!
