Thread: Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease

This is a very debatable topic,I have worked at a vets for a lot of years & hardly ever saw this problem until "dried foods"came onto the market,then a lot of them did have high magnesium content.Our vet,who like me is from the old school of thought always says to check magnesium levels & he reckons if it is at the highest 0.08 percent & some are lower, then you are playing as safe as you can,we have some cats where the problem has not gone away until fed only wet foods.A lot of cats don't seem to drink enough which doesn't help but with our cats their love of water is to our advantage because although a lot of time they play with it they do also seem to spend more time drinking than the average cat...
