SPECIFIC TM FCW CRYSTAL MANAGEMENT

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR

£ By dividing the daily ration of SPECIFIC TM FCW Crystal Management into 3 or 4 meals, any postprandial increase of urinary pH is minimised.

£ Simultaneous administration of urinary acidifiers £ Kittens younger than 6 months and pregnant or lactating queens £ Metabolic and renal acidosis INGREDIENTS Pork, maize, sunflower oil, egg powder, fish oil, minerals, vitamins and trace elements (including chelated trace elements), psyllium husk, dextrose, xylose, methionine, cellulose powder, taurine, chondroitin sulphate. Contains no added artificial colours or flavourings. FEEDING GUIDE IN GRAMS PER DAY The daily individual requirement may vary depending on factors such as breed, environment, season, activity etc. It is therefore advisable to continue monitoring condition and body weight, adjusting the amount fed accordingly.

£ The diet contains chondroitin, a component of the natural protective glycosaminoglycan layer coating the bladder wall.

£ Struvite urolithiasis is only one type of urolithiasis which may occur in cats. Identification of the type of urolith present in an affected patient is essential because different types of uroliths may require different dietary strategies (see the Managing Urolithiasis chart under Technical information on SPECIFIC TM ). £ The composition and the high energy content of SPECIFIC TM FCW Crystal Management also make the diet appropriate for healthy adult cats with a slightly increased energy need. The highly digestible and balanced nutrients provide the adult cat with all nutrients necessary for a healthy life. £ For reduction of recurrence of uroliths composed of calcium oxalate, ammonium urate or cystine, SPECIFIC TM FKD/FKW/FKW-P Kidney Support is recommended. £ For obese cats with a tendency to develop struvite urolithiasis, SPECIFIC TM FCD-L Crystal Management Light, SPECIFIC TM FXD Adult or SPECIFIC TM FRD Weight Reduction is recommended. £ For cats with recurrent idiopathic cystitis, a wet diet is preferred (SPECIFIC TM FCW Crystal Management or SPECIFIC TM FXW/FXW-P Adult).
