Always consult your vet before changing your cat's diet in the case of struvite stones. As a rule, feed your cat with special uric acidifying diet food, as the pH value of the urine must be reduced. A pH value that is too high encourages the formation of stones. When feeding your cat, also make sure it has a low phosphate and magnesium content. Your cat should also always have access to fresh water. If your cat only drinks a little, tasty cat drinks are often helpful. They consist of meat juice and pieces of meat and cats usually prefer them to water because of their taste.

If you notice any abnormalities around your cat's urination and you also notice other symptoms such as exhaustion or even diarrhea and vomiting, you should not wait long to visit the vet. A detailed examination of the animal will provide clarity about treatment options. In mild cases of struvite stones, urinary acidifying medication and a change of diet can already help. Severe cases are usually treated as emergencies with infusions and urinary catheters. In any case, it is necessary to dissolve the urinary stones in order to prevent blockage of the urethra.
