Hello everyone,
I just wanted to share this story and see if anyone else has experienced the same thing and what worked for you. My 1 year old kitty has recently been diagnosed with kidney crystals. At the time, I had been feeding her Blue Buffalo, which I’d always heard to be a very reputable food. My vet said that sometimes it doesn’t necessarily have to do with the quality of the food, but more so the sensitivity of the cat. She said she’s seen kitties develop crystals on all different types of food, from the cheapest ones to the expensive ones.
So anyway, she’s on Science Diet now, as my vet claims that this is the only food not only proven to keep crystals at bay for cats who are prone to them. She seems to be eating it well. It did take her a couple days to start keeping it down (she has a sensitive tummy and eats too fast…), but is doing better now. I haven’t seen her excessively hanging out in the litter box anymore so I’m assuming she’s feeling better and it’s doing what it’s supposed to do.
Anyway, just wanted to share and see if you guys had any experiences with kidney crystals and/or what food your kitty was on when they developed them?
