special Diet for itu

Because the cats that have suffered infections of tracto urinary (ITU) require a change of diet?
Some cats with infections of tracto urinary can have crystals that form in his tinkles, sometimes the crystals form before or after the infection. These crystals that have a fine sand aspect irritate vejiga. In the male cats, the crystals can obstruct uretra (the conduit that takes tinkles it from vejiga through penis to the outside). It is very serious when the obstruction does not allow to tinkle to the animal. In some cases, the river sand can agglutinate and form vesicales calculations (stones in vejiga).

The most common crystals are of estruvita and oxalatos, the estruvita crystals form one tinkles with ph alkaline, the special diets for these cases produce one tinkles more acid than it dissolves, it slows down or it inhibits the formation of calculations of estruvita. These diets also have low mineral concentration that favors the crystal formation like magnesium. This type of diets is prescriptas by the Veterinary Doctor, some are used to treat the disease and others are preventive to avoid the manifestation of the pathology in the future.

The oxalato crystals form with more facility in you tinkle acid, the special diets favor the production of one tinkles alkaline. These diets are lower in calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and sodium.

It is necessary to emphasize the following thing:
50% of the diseases of tracto inferior of the felines do not involve a mineral component, therefore the alteration of the content in the diet of mineral keys or the solubility of these minerals in tinkles it (by means of the acidificación or dietaria alcalinización of it tinkles it) will not have effects known in these cases. In addition the urolitiasis to the cat is the result of an implicit patofisiología that still is not included/understood very well.
