my cat gets them too often . the first itme I had to rush him to the hospital he was in a coma and near death. I was bawling and telling the people that I had no idea what was wrong with him and the doc's wife had the nerve to tell me I ought to be ashamed letting it get this bad. I started bawling again. 
she made me feel so rotten
Doc rushed us in the back and felt his bladder and said : live or die?" I said live. he grabs him and rushed him to the operating table and catheritized him and there was pure blood coming out. I cried some more and my son cried too. he was the last to see the cat that night. said he was stumbling and didn;t tell me. he didn;t know what was wrong. thought "river" was just sleepy. poor my son
anyway 4 days and $500 later he came home and we were told to only feed him cat food that was less than 8% ash content. ever heard of that?
It is only labeled on some cat food! I never knew.
ash is what is left over after the body burns what it needs from the food .. I think
. he said the white slimey stuff in the bottom of the litterbox is ash. who knew??!!
anyway that is my tale . I can't really afford the special food so when he seems to be getting it again I switch on him.
anyone know any trick to use. Like for humans it is usually cranberry juice and lots of water.
