Dr.,
Encourage the cat to drink more. This is not as difficult as it sounds. Simply feeding canned food will increase the amount of water that a cat consumes, even though it will physically drink more while taking dry food. You can even try mixing small amounts of water through the food. Restrict meal times. Cats that are fed very frequently are more likely to develop FLUTD than cats with restricted meal times, no matter what type of diet is being fed. Although many cats like to eat very small amounts through the day (and night), it is possible to train your cat to eat at specific mealtimes. Put the food down in the morning, and take it way 30 minutes later. Do the same thing in the evening. At first, your cat may be upset at this, but as time goes on, she should become used to the routine. Encourage the cat to empty its bladder more frequently. Some cats are very fussy about where and under what circumstances they will empty their bladder. For instance, many will simply not use a litter tray that has already been used. So, it is important to clean litter trays that have been used immediately. It is also a good idea to put out several litter trays around the house. In these conditions, even if the cat is left alone most of the day, there will always be a clean litter tray available. A few of the diets that do contain the acidifiers they a Science Diet's CD, Purina CNM, and Wysong's Uretic Diet. Getting your cat to drink more water is essential in FUS recovery. You will need to monitor your cat's intake of food and water, and output of urine very carefully, so be sure to only use a small amount of litter. You'll also want to check the color and consistency of the urine. You should isolate your FUS kitty from any other cats in the household to ensure you can monitor, inspect, and encourage him/her during the recovery time. |
