it might sounds stupid, but when you say “low ash/magnesium content”, what is the %% ?? most of them out there is between 6-7 %, are they consider as HIGH ????

*This is 1 question I CONFIDENTLY can answer, pls. save**
(yrs. ago it was “low ash/magnesium content” in fds., it still does apply, but not solely)
Years of experience even prior to vets inexperience with the horrid affliction!
Signs:
~ Uneasiness, straining and frequency in the litter box
~ Appearance of or doing squatting position (like ready or peeing) in odd places or in box.
~Pinkish tinges in smallish amts. of frequent pee.(sign of irritation and the pink is tinges of blood)
~Complete blockish is meowing loudly (howling) in box, unable to pass any pee,.. then is VET asap, to use cathreter to try to unblock the crystal in urethra.
***PLEASE try to give mainly wet can foods (despite what any vet says, I find dry the culprit),.UNLESS the dry is from vet’s and specially formulated with “acidifiers” to dissolve crystals.
***OR if you do give some dry fds., MAKE sure it has the ingredient “DL Methionine” in it (read side panel),.. that is a natural neutralizer which prevents crystalization. (also found naturally in cranberry juice,…which you could also buy in grocery store and just squirt with syringe in cat’s mouth to prevent).
I went through (as did my poor male fixed cats) h e l l watching them suffer until I did research, experienced this affliction in them.
I now do not neuter till at least 8 mths., when all their organs are fully develop and ONLY give them dry fds. with DL Meth. in it and plenty of can wet fds. too.
Hope this helps,… I’ve been there, experienced it all decades ago.
