This is Shion-chan.
His eyes closed ^^
It ’s a big test that has been sedated earlier,
Shion-chan, who was found to have frequent urination (cystitis) due to struvite stones,
Who is frequent urination? (Urine image available) September 3, 2019
Shion-chan, he had given medicine. September 4, 2019ber 4, 2019
I investigated the cat lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) (with urine images) September 5, 2019
I got a urine test ... but. (Urine image available) September 7, 2019
Shion-chan continues medicine & this time Mokuren-chan? (Urine image available) <Additional notes> September 14, 2019
Shion-chan was a struvite stone (with urine image) September 20, 2019
Even today, frequent urination continues slightly.

But,
What moms can do now
Let him continue taking medicine,
Let him eat the therapy meal I got,
Clean the toilet,
If he can't get urine or he has very bad hematuria, take him to the hospital.
That is
I have no choice but to continue what I'm doing now
It is.
It's hard to watch only. . 😢
Torment such Shion-chan
Struvite stone
What is it?
I checked it on the net for a while.

From wikipedia
Struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) is a phosphate mineral with formula: NH4MgPO4·6H2O. Struvite crystallizes in the orthorhombic system as white to yellowish or brownish-white pyramidal crystals or in platey mica-like forms. It is a soft mineral with Mohs hardness of 1.5 to 2 and has a low specific gravity of 1.7. It is sparingly soluble in neutral and alkaline conditions, but readily soluble in acid.
Struvite urinary stones and crystals form readily in the urine of animals and humans that are infected with ammonia-producing organisms. They are potentiated by alkaline urine and high magnesium excretion (high magnesium/plant-based diets). They also are potentiated by a specific urinary protein, in domestic cats.
Struvite kidney stones[edit]
Struvite precipitates in alkaline urine, forming kidney stones. Struvite is the most common mineral found in urinary tract stones in dogs,[7] and is found also in urinary tract stones of cats and humans. Struvite stones are potentiated by bacterial infection that hydrolyzes urea to ammonium and raises urine pH to neutral or alkaline values. Urea-splitting organisms include Proteus, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus, and Mycoplasma.
Even in the absence of infection, accumulation of struvite crystals in the urinary bladder is a problem frequently seen in housecats, with symptoms including difficulty urinating (which may be mistaken for constipation) or blood in the urine (hematuria). The protein cauxin, a protein excreted in large amounts in cat urine that acts to produce a feline pheromone, has recently been found to cause nucleation of struvite crystals in a model system containing the ions necessary to form struvite. This may explain some of the excess struvite production in domestic cats.[8] In the past, surgery has been required to remove struvite uroliths in cats; today, special acidifying low magnesium diets may be used to dissolve sterile struvite stones.[9]
Upper urinary tract stones that involve the renal pelvis and extend into at least 2 calyces are classified as staghorn calculi. Although all types of urinary stones can potentially form staghorn calculi, approximately 75% are composed of a struvite-carbonate-apatite matrix.
By the way, in the case of cats, there are many stones,
Struvite and calcium oxalate
It seems to be.
There are two main types of cat urine stones
Struvite is easy to crystallize at Ph 6.6 or more,
Calcium oxalate is easy to crystallize below PH6
It seems.
That means
Strabite dissolves when urine is oxidized, but calcium oxalate is formed when it is oxidized too much.
But our house
Both were found in previous urinalysis,
What should I do?
Well ...

I hope you get better soon. .
Anyway, this blog is just talking about urine recently.
Would you like to change from “Cat Blog” to “Cat's Pee Blog”?
