Your veterinarian is quite correct on this one. If you dose the cat
with Uroeze according to directions and then add in a food which is designed to acidify the diet to the proper range of 6.2-6.4 you run the risk of over acidifying the diet and endangering the cat with the formation of Calcium Oxalte crystals which form in aicd urine below 6.2. I spoke to my vet about the situation (my wife spoke to him first) and though at first he kept to his first argument, ultimately he agreed with me. I started by explaining that the cat primarily eats the Uroeze-treated wet food, but that as a "snack" we give him a small amount of the dry found. He again tried to argue that this would "over acidify" him, but again this sounded like the argument of getting too much vitamin C because you're eating oranges and lemons instead of oranges only. I then asked, "as a snack, should I then feed him non-prescription food instead?" and he answered, "no, the cat should only eat prescription food." "Like the Hill's diet, for example?" as asked. "Yes, that would be good," was his reply. People don't seem to get the point that eating two foods with an acidying effect should be the same as eating one food (as long as the total quantities of food are equal). This seems like very basic science to me. The only way that using both should increase the acidifying effect is if I were add the Uroeze to the Hill's diet, which I am not. Ultimately, I think I stick with the current plan. Eating primarily wet food will give him the liquid he needs, and the 1/2 cup of Hill's diet at night will give him something to crunch on, which he likes. As a 27 pound Maine Coon monster, the 1/2 cup shouldn't have that much impact either way. Thanks for everyone's advice! Mark |

Ammonium Chloride
Ammonium Chloride (NH4CI), inorganic, colorless crystal component that is soluble in water. It comes from the reaction of hydrochloric acid and ammonia. The ammonium chloride is available in best quality and used in various manufacturing industries. It is basically used in cleansing products, plywood glue, pyrotechnics, cough medicine, flavor food industries, shampoo, as electrolyte, as antispasmodic, as component in metalwork.

Google Groups Spam... Bozo Bin you go John. All you do is quote spam with no filtering and seeing it once is enough. Next time use common sense. If you want to feed the troll with a reply, trim the SPAM off first. Carol -- |
