Recently adopted (along w/his daughter) from Siamese Rescue org. No previous history of UTI. Brought him home 1/8/11. AM of 1/14/11 observed him making frequent trips to litterpan, long stay, tiny "spray" of urine "pebbles" rather than nice, healthy clump-o-urine each time. Took to vet w/in a few hours. 1st week was prescribed prednisolone, prozasin, Hills CD canned and dry. Seemed to be improving w/small, actual balls of urine (maybe 50cent coin diameter), but on 1/26, back to tiny spray pebbles so veterinarian added 14day prescription of baytril.

I am not a fan of the ingredient list for Hills CD & I want to safely eliminate the Hills CD from his diet asap.

Came across your 3/7/2006 post: "RE: UTI in male cat - PHDrTobin", where you advised only wet food w/equal parts water, cranberry concentrate softgel 2x/daily, 1tsp ascorbic acid over course of the day in food, increasing amounts of salt in food up to limit of what cat will tolerate.

2 questions: (1) Would you still advise this regimen? (2) How much salt is too much?

Thank you, in advance, for your much appreciated info. Still immensely greatful for your previous advice of 1m ledum palustre 3x/daily for 3days, which cured my beloved k9, Roly (2/11/93-8/16/2008), of Lymes disease. Plus much more intelligence which has kept my crew in good shape.
