Kidney stones question?
My Mainecoon cat has been diagnosed with kidney stones. I was hoping
to get some feedback from other cat owners who have expierienced this. What treatment did you seek? Was surgery involved? A change in diet? My vet says he is a time bomb waiting to explode. He said there is really nothing he can do. Also maybe some links to websites to do some research. Thanks in advance Chris |
I do hope your vet is wrong and that something can be done for your kitty.

My Fizzgig had bladder stones, which we got rid of by diet alone. I can't
remember now which kind of stones they were though. He is now on a special maintenance diet (CD) that keep his urine more acidified, to keep down the stones. Best wishes for an easy recovery for your kitty. -Caroline S. On 2/7/04 8:02 PM, in article , "Chris" wrote: My Mainecoon cat has been diagnosed with kidney stones.

Chris,
I would definitely get a second opinion. There are treatments for kidney stones for humans, and virtually anything that can be treated in a human can be treated in a cat. My Tawny had problems with bladder stones, and they were always treatable. The vet also told us that having a male cat neutered often stops this type of recurring. We had Tawny altered, and he never had another bladder stone. Don't give up on your cat! Find a vet who will treat him or her. Best wishes to you and the cat. -- Joy "Chris" wrote in message om...

Trying to compose brief advice: there is a surgical remedy for male cats to
revise the urethral opening as to more closely replicate the female urethra...(as my aunt used to say, "making him a girl")...it solves life-threatening dilemma of stones blocking urine passage. Consult another vet, ASAP. That dude's word is not the final verdict on the subject, believe me. Don't accept it as such.
