Have you thought about trying a wet/dry food mix?
I had a female cat that had crystal problems at one time. We ended up switching her to a wet food for a short time then to a wet/dry mix. Never had any more problems.

I had a similar issue with a brown mackerel tabby of mine. Vet insisted (right after performing a couple of expensive blood panels "just to be sure") that I put him on Hill's C/D, then S/D for life in addition to doing a blood panel every 2-3 months. I did a little research, changed vets (for this and various other reasons) and came upon these natural, cranberry-infused pills Petco carries that worked wonders on him while still allowing me to maintain his normal diet of Natural Balance dry food mixed w/a tiny bit of any brand of moist food. A one-month supply, a bottle of 60 chewable tablets the cat needs no convincing to eat, runs about $8.99.

Natural Care Feline Urinary Support is what the stuff is called. You may want to give it shot as its a low/no risk, huge reward kind of thing. I noticed a difference almost immediately in my cat's litter box (I use clumping litter) after giving it to my tabby, so within a day or two, you should be able to judge whether the product is worth giving to your cat on a daily basis, if at all. Here's wishing your kitty all the best regardless! 🙂

It's usually S/D short term and C/D long term. With S/D you should check urine pH if it's going to be as lifetime food.

My vet is actually one of the top perhaps in the country. He is very active in research, heads up the zoo, and runs a private practice. He could have retired 30+ years ago.

I will have to see what I need to do.
