What causes struvite urolithiasis? How do I prevent them?
It is very important that your cat have a diet filled with moisture to prevent the formation of crystals.
Holistic Pet Cuisine carries a full line of complete and nutritious canned wet food.
Is your cat on dry food alone?
Dry food consists of 10% moisture no more than that and because of that your cat could very well develop or currently have the formation of crystals.
Urinary stones can be infected or sterile. The cause of infected stones usually is a urinary tract infection. Generally struvite stones are sterile.
POSSIBLE causes of sterile stones include:
Mineral composition of the diet
Moisture content of the diet
Quantity of food
Feeding schedule or lack of scheduled feedings
Concentrated urine
Retention of urine in the bladder
