crystals in urine - urine too alcaline

Hi

my male cat (3 years old) is in the vets with a problem. rather ill and
crying when he tries to urinate. vet says urine too alkaline and has given
him a catheter and antibiotics. vet says he has a blockage due to crystals
in bladder. he is fed both dry (Frisky) and wet food (Felix) and has water
available all the time.

what food additive is best/easiest to raise ph level of urine to more acidic
please ???? is this the solution ?



cheers

Your vet will recommend a prescription food. It is a really good idea to try
to get him on that. I hope kitty is much better soon.

Hodge is on Hill's C/D, which has worked well for the past year. No
problems since.



thanks. does this have to be on prescription from the vet ? what's the
cost/cheapest way of getting it ?

cheers
