I’m so sorry to hear this , I myself was and still am angry about putting down my kitty who was very young due to a UTI going south and after much attempts to solve the issue , I am angry for this being the 2nd time , and I’m angry that no one seems to prevent this food from being sold that slowly kills male cats and that no matter what efforts I took to upgrade the food, give him supplements, take him to the vet or whatever , nothing helped ! It only managed to give him another 8-9 months to live .::: but … for me that’s not good enough…. Why can’t we stop this from happening before it happens to male cats !? I don’t get this fail system government and greedy people that only look to get paid rather then save a life. So, with that being said, I am so sorry you lost your pal woof woof ???? I know how u feel , and that it’s better to let them go in peace then suffer this dreadful painful bs life .

Ty for the answer but it was too late. I had to put him down he had started getting seizures and I agree with the vet because my mother was a vet , it’s likely he has some other health issues pertaining to the crap food he was on before I realized how bad the food was. Once I switched over to the most high end uti food ( Nutrience) he lasted another 8-9 months before he slowly got worse , it could have been he had something hereditary before the uti began , an underlying health issue unknown, after all he was rescued from a farm and living barn life . ;( so he had a great life and it was greatly improved however house cats are less active making the uti inevitable upon whatever else he had . The vet drained his bladder instantly and I got to spend lots of time with him before and while at the vet before finally giving him the best treatment of all .. go in peace and no more suffering. Such a shame with male cats , this is the second I’ve had to put down bc they overcharge for a simple Fix to save his life . Many vets would agree that places don’t really need to put the animal to sleep unless it’s critical to them and no amount of money could save them , sadly my case. All because I was trying to get the funds in the first place to save his life for a simple drain ! I just bought a house , unfortunately my situation did not help my kitties life. In the future I recommend getting pet insurance for vet bills as I was planning to get but Covid made that a challenge.
