You certainly do have our best wishes and prayers. Keeping your cat active and in good health goes a long way to preventing this problem, especially if it is obese. Keeping the litter pan clean (scoop at least once a day) and giving your cat access to fresh water at all times will also be helpful in prevention. My cats have a"Drinkwell" pet fountain that has upped their water consumption impressively. They love drinking right out of the stream of water. The most important thing you can do is to make sure your cat is drinking adequately. The diuretic effect of drinking eough water goes a long way towards preventing this disease. If need be, give your cat supplemental water with a syringe or feed a canned food. Always check with your vet before changing his diet, though.

Two of our boys have gotten this in the past. There are many reasons why he has reoccurring FLUTD's. It's a hot topic and seams that the pro's don't know either.They just lump it all intoa disorder. First off is he an only cat? If no then it easily could be stress related. First make sure you have a couple of different litter boxes in different areas with alternative access routes. Turns out one of our cats was holding his pee in, it caused an infection and he was peeing blood. He was being bombarded by another cat in the hallway on his way to the litter box. Wet food is ideal but unfortunately for us none of our cats will eat soft food. We found an alternative....adding a little water to their dry food. They all love it. Vet also has them on Hill's Science Diet CD. I'm not too fond of Hill's recipe but it does seam to work. I mix it together with our favorite high quality cat food of choice. We like Wellness Core and Evo Innova. Keep searching, you'll figure it out. Luck 2 u!
