QuestionMy cat is 12-1/2 yrs. old and acts very normal and healthy in all ways, i.e, uses litter box, plays, etc. The vet x-rayed her and she has never seen so many kidney stones in a cat before. She is now on NF dry, and a combination of wet foods for her condition. In the past I have cooked albacore tuna, beef and chicken breast as her main diet, along with wellness dry. By cooking her the latter 3 foods, has this contributed to her developing kidney stones, and if so, I will continue the diet recommended by the vet and hopefully the stones will dissolve??? at some point. BTW, the has had this condition (blood in her urine) since she was a young kitten. She is a pedigree (Egyptian Mau) and maybe this is common in this breed. Please advise. Thank you.
AnswerHi Bobbie, I know you did the best you could. Now you are more educated on her special needs. If she likes your home cooking, I can give you special recipes for cats with stones.
Some cats are very prone to kideny crystals and stones thru a lifetime.
Let me know if you want a recipe ?
