It is possible! Sebastian only blocked once, two years ago. That was when
I tried the IVD dry version of their FUS formula. He did fine on the canned. Nothing else had changed. So it was back to the formula mentioned below. He got put on the extra water in his food (so it is the consistency of oatmeal or porridge--he thinks he's getting more food!) when he had some many crystals the irritation caused polyps in his bladder. That was when he was 3. He's been getting the little bit of water in his canned food ever since. Stacey "andr0meda" wrote in message ... WOW! This makes me think that Xena might live till 40!!!!!! Our Vet recommended adding a bit of chicken soup (or rather gelly from chicken soup) to make Science Diet tastier. Xena doesn't think so. Congrats, Sebastian!!!!!

That seems to have worked best to keep the crystals away in addition to diet (combo dry CD and CNM/UR in the morning, canned CD at night). The last time he had a bout I added Methioform to his food. It's a pleasant tasting acidifier. Sebastian's had a crystal problem since he was 1-1/2 years old and I (knock on wood) have it under control. He is 9 now. Stacey "afr" wrote in message rg...

My vet also has me putting cosequin in george's food. Did you ever have
that reocommendation? It's so interesting comparing notes here. What is both fascinating and perplexing to me is that the first vet I went to didn't recommend fluids. george was re-hosptalized twice, which is what lead me to taking him to the vet school hospital for a second opinion. The fluids every few days really have helped him come around. But it sounds like a lot of vets don't send people home with fluids. I don't know whether george would be coming around without them. A week ago, I was thinking the "e" word. Bewildering to me. The ultrasound showed what may be very, very early kidney disease, but the vet said his kidney levels are all normal, and this episode wasn't about his kidneys.

No, I don't know what cosequin is. Sebastian's first vet was a cat only vet
and he wanted to put him on Ovaban for the FUS! That was when I decided to switch vets. I guess there are some good ones and some bad ones out there. Stacey "afr" wrote in message rg...

cosequin is glucosamine and condroiton...what humans take for
arthritis...supposed to help the bladder lining. a. On Sat, 29 Nov 2003, Stacey wrote: No, I don't know what cosequin is.
