Asking for help with blockage in kitten's bladder

I'm very sorry to read of your loss :( I understand how it feels, to feel you have failed at caring for something you have loved and accepted the responsibility to care for - despite having tried your very hardest to do what is 'best' for the little creature. Recently our 3 legged cat didn't come home, I find the 'not knowing' what happened to her the hardest part.

Every situation is different - I hope the knowledge gained from Laura's question to the C's will help.

Keep in mind the joyful moments you shared with your kitten =)

Not to mention forgetting that we can't think with the way we think and really do need to network at ALL times.

We had a chat with the Cs last night and I asked about this at the end and they said that the calcium/mag supplements were not the cause of the crystals because they wouldn't form that fast. So they must have been forming prior to that from some other reason as HE suggested might be the case.

In general, giving anything to animals without careful consideration and consultation is very ill-advised. As we all know, (or should) xylitol can kill a dog and chocolate can make them very sick. There are other things that are okay for humans, but not for dogs. And vice versa. One also has to consider their size and much faster metabolism. I would say that a similar consideration applies to children. You can't treat a growing child the same way you treat an adult. These things appear to me to be "home truths" that should be obvious to everyone, but obviously they aren't!

Yes. Sometimes the obvious still has to smack me between the eyes. Thank you for taking some of the session time to ask about this. It was so kind. :hug2:
