Therapeutic Indications
Trovet Plus Cat Urinary Struvite is mainly indicated for the dietary treatment of cats suffering from urolithiasis caused by struvite crystals (aminomagnesium phosphate). Thanks to the regulation of urinary pH towards slightly acidic values, it contributes to the dissolution of these crystals and prevents the formation of new stones. This diet is also recommended in case of inflammation of the lower urinary tract and for the prevention of recurrences of urinary tract diseases such as idiopathic cystitis and other related pathologies. It is important to provide this food exclusively on veterinary indications, as controlling the acid-base balance and minerals is essential to avoid complications such as the formation of other types of crystals or metabolic imbalances. Diet management is a crucial component in maintaining the urinary health of cats predisposed to or with a history of urological disorders, and Trovet Plus represents a specific and targeted solution for these needs.
Composition
The formulation of Trovet Plus Cat Urinary Struvite is based on carefully selected and balanced ingredients to promote the urinary and general well-being of the cat. The product contains chicken as its main protein source, specially chosen for its high digestibility and palatability. The diet is calibrated to have a controlled content of magnesium and phosphorus, key elements in the process of formation of struvite crystals, thus avoiding their accumulation. Other essential components include balanced amino acids, vitamins and minerals to support the cat's vital functions and immune system. The control of urinary pH is managed through specific ingredients that keep the urine slightly acidic, an unfavorable environment for the formation of struvite crystals. Furthermore, the presence of fiber helps improve digestion and intestinal health, while the supply of essential fatty acids contributes to the health of the skin and coat. This complete nutritional compound makes Trovet Plus a reliable and safe therapeutic food for prolonged use under veterinary supervision.
Contraindications
Trovet Plus Cat Urinary Struvite should not be administered to cats with severe renal or hepatic insufficiency, nor to cats with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, as the diet suitable for urinary problems may not be compatible with other pathological conditions. It is also contraindicated in cats with metabolic disorders that require a different balance of minerals or a different protein intake. Because the diet changes urinary pH, it is not suitable for long-term treatment without ongoing veterinary monitoring to avoid imbalances that could lead to the formation of oxalate crystals or other complications. It is important that the use of Trovet Plus is carried out only under the strict supervision of a veterinary doctor who will periodically evaluate the clinical and laboratory status of the animal to adapt the dietary therapy to its needs. Self-administration without specific diagnosis and without consultation can expose the cat to health risks.
Safety of the drug for the species
Trovet Plus Cat Urinary Struvite is a dietary food formulated specifically for cats and therefore safe if used as directed. It is important to strictly follow the doses recommended by the vet and not introduce other unauthorized foods during treatment, to ensure the effectiveness of the diet and prevent complications. The product is designed to minimize the risk of new crystal formation and support the urinary system without compromising kidney function or other essential physiological parameters. In case of correct administration and regular monitoring, Trovet Plus can also be used for prolonged periods to prevent relapses. However, it is advisable to carry out periodic checks to evaluate the general health of the cat, especially in the presence of concomitant pathologies. It is also important to observe any adverse reactions or changes in eating behavior and promptly report them to the veterinarian for a possible adjustment of therapy.
Precautions
In the absence of specific reports of toxicity or serious side effects, it is still essential to adopt some precautions when using Trovet Plus Gatto Urinary Struvite. Before starting treatment, it is essential to make an accurate diagnosis through urinary tests, blood tests and, if necessary, x-ray or ultrasound tests, to confirm the presence of struvite crystals or other urinary pathologies. During administration, the pH and composition of the urine should be monitored regularly to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and prevent the formation of other types of crystals or complications. It is advisable to guarantee your cat an adequate supply of fresh water to promote diuresis and reduce the risk of stone formation. Avoid mixing with other foods that could alter the mineral and pH balance. In case of allergic reactions or intolerances to the product, it is necessary to discontinue use and consult a veterinarian. Furthermore, the food must be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sources of heat and direct light, to maintain its nutritional properties unaltered and guarantee safe use.
Method of administration
Trovet Plus Cat Urinary Struvite must be administered exclusively on veterinary prescription, following the specific doses and indications provided based on the weight, age and state of health of the cat. The food is indicated for exclusive use in the diet, therefore it is important not to administer other foods or snacks that may interfere with the therapeutic efficacy. It is possible to serve the daily ration divided into several meals to facilitate acceptance and digestion. In case of difficulty in accepting the product, it can be mixed with small quantities of wet food compatible with the diet, but always under veterinary indications. It is essential to keep the administration constant for the entire recommended period, even if the symptoms improve, to prevent relapses. Access to fresh water must always be guaranteed to support kidney function and contribute to the dilution of urine.
Treatment program
Treatment with Trovet Plus Cat Urinary Struvite involves an initial phase of intensive use for the duration determined by the veterinarian, usually until the resolution of the struvite crystals and the normalization of the urinary pH. Subsequently, a maintenance phase may be indicated to prevent relapses, which can last indefinitely under specialist supervision. Throughout the therapeutic process it is essential to carry out periodic check-ups, with urinary and blood tests to monitor health parameters and evaluate possible changes to the dietary plan. Treatment must be integrated with adequate environmental management and access to sources of clean and abundant water. In cats with a history of recurrent urolithiasis, maintenance of the therapeutic diet is particularly recommended to prevent serious complications and improve quality of life. Any changes in the protocol or suspensions of treatment must be carried out only under veterinary indications.
