Royal Canin Cat Feline Clinical Diets Urinary S/O Moderate Calorie For the dietary support of adult cats who have difficulty in maintaining their ideal bodyweight (neutering/overweight/low activity levels): Dissolution of struvite uroliths Reduction of recurrence of struvite & calcium oxalate urolithiasis using a single diet Note: The wet version of Urinary S/O Feline is recommended for recurrent idiopathic cystitis. In older cats renal function should be checked before Urinary S/O Moderate Calorie is fed. 5 to 12 weeks of dietary support are required to dissolve struvite uroliths. To avoid recurrence the diet should be fed for a further 6 months minimum followed by urinalysis. Once the cat has been successfully managed it can be maintained on Urinary S/O Moderate Calorie or one of the following diets can be recommended: Obesity Management or Satiety for an overweight cat or a diet from the Neutered Feline range for a normal weight cat. Urinary Moderate Calorie is for the nutritional support of cats in cases of:
- Dissolution of struvite uroliths
- Reduction of recurrent struvite & calcium oxalate urolithiasis using a single diet. Note: In cases of recurrent idiopathic cystitis Urinary Wet is recommended. In older cats renal function should be checked before Urinary S/O Moderate Calorie is fed. Not recommended in cases of:
- Pregnancy lactation growth
- Chronic renal failure metabolic acidosis
- Heart failure
- Hypertension
- Use of urine-acidifying drugs Features Urinary S/O Feline effectively dissolves struvite stones. Diluting urine decreases the urinary concentration of struvites & calcium oxalates. The larger urinary volume also ensures regular bladder wash-out. The reduced calorie content of the diet makes it possible to limit weight gain in cats with a tendency to obesity. Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) that are naturally found on the healthy bladder mucosa but decrease in diopathic cystitis. This causes increased permeability of the bladder to bacteria toxins & ions resulting in bladder inflammation & stimulation of pain-sensitive receptors.
