Our team of veterinarians is ready to answer all your questions.

What are struvite crystals in dogs and cats?

Struvite crystals are small mineral crystals that can form in your pet’s urine. They can develop when the urine has a pH that is too high and contains too much magnesium, ammonium and phosphate. These crystals can cause irritation and pain when urinating. In severe cases, they clump together to form stones, which significantly increases the risk of obstruction of the urethra.

When do struvite crystals occur?

For dogs and cats prone to urinary tract problems

For pets with excessively high pH levels in their urine

Due to insufficient water intake or certain dietary factors

Symptoms of struvite crystals

Urinating in small amounts, pain or difficulty urinating

Blood in the urine

Urination outside the litter tray or in undesirable places

Excessive licking of the genitals

Sensitive abdomen when touched

What is chronic kidney failure in cats?

Chronic renal failure (also known as chronic kidney disease) is a common condition in older cats in which kidney function slowly deteriorates. Damage to the kidneys causes them to function less effectively. As a result, waste products are not removed as efficiently and accumulate in the body. This disrupts the body’s balance and can have serious consequences.
