I have a cat with idiopathic lower urinary tract crystals and I have changed his diet, but he still exhibits urinary frequency and urgency.
Are there other methods of treatment?
Thank You

Cat with idiopathic lower urinary tract crystals
Saturday, July 18th, 2009Seeking internal medicine vet for cat with GI probs.
Monday, April 6th, 2009Seeking an internal medicine vet for a cat with GI PROBLEMS (Gut Dysbiosis?),e.g., multiple large bowel movements,soft,progres- sing to loose stools and diarrhea.
Vet claims she cannot tolerate processed foood,e.g., canned cat foods. He recommends raw or cooked chicken for 3-4 weeks to rule out allergy. Difficult for me to manage. Have 4 cats.
Also giving her probiotic daily (2x, ideally).
I have IBS with diarrhea intermittently. Am wondering if I am being contaminated by handling stools or if we both are being contaminated by raw meat (or cooked) left too long in refrigerator. Cannot afford vet visits. Have taken her to 2 other vets last yr. They did not address this issue or that of copious amounts of urine. Blood sugar level sometimes somewhat elevated. Vet not concerned. She was obese but has lost unexplained wt over several months.
Current wt is 12 lbs. 11 yrs. old. Tested positive for bartinella bacteria in Jan/Feb,2009. Giving doxycycline, 2nd round.
GI problems, wt loss, and copius urine present prior to Antibiotic. Inflammed gums for 10.5 yrs. 10-12 teeth lost. Have had cleaning 2-3 times.
Pls answer ASAP.
My cat has been diagnosed with FIP
Monday, March 16th, 2009My cat has been diagnosed with FIP, (Feline infectious peritonitis).
Is there any alternative medicine. Like DMSO, or hydrogen peroxide treatments, of which both are known to treat viruses?
Is there anything you can do to prolong my cat’s life.
He is a 5 year old male. He hasn’t lost weight from this disease.
Do you have any prior experience with treating this fatal disease? I’m heartbroken and feel there must be SOMETHING that can be done to make him well again.
