Recommended for
  • Dissolution of struvite uroliths
Not recommended for
  • Kittens
  • Pregnant or lactating queens
  • Feeding long term without monitoring acid-base status (because of urine acidifying properties)
  • Cats with non-struvite uroliths
  • Cats with kidney disease or metabolic acidosis
Additional information
  • Do not give urinary acidifiers when feeding s/d Feline
  • Monitor the urine throughout dissolution and control urinary tract infection, if present. Urinary pH will increase if infection with urease-producing bacteria is not eliminated. Urinary pH must be acidic for successful dissolution.
  • After initially feeding s/d™ Feline  for 2-3 months, the recurrence of struvite-associated FLUTD can be reduced by feeding Prescription Diet™  c/d™ Multicare Feline or c/d™ Multicare Feline reduced calorie or w/d™ Feline.
  • If FLUTD should recur when only c/d™ Multicare Feline  or c/d™ Multicare Feline reduced calorie or w/d™ Feline  is being fed monitor urine pH, check for urinary tract infection or re-evaluate the type of uroliths and crystals.
