I'm starting the process of finding out if Arthur has an allergy causing his swelling issue.

6. Years ago, my vet had me switch to a no dust litter because

My rescue girl kept getting idiopathic utis. Nothing showed in urine test & he even did an ultrasound.

So I switched to Worlds Best litter & the utis stopped.

Some years later, she had another couple of utis & different vet had me add Pet Kelp to her food because of the added nutritional support & recent research showing glucosamine (1/8-1/4 teaspoon / day) is great for preventing lower itis in kitties.

Problem solved. Needless to say, she hates it. I eventually stopped adding it to her food & had forgotten about it.

Have you started growing wheat grass for them to snack on?

Maybe probiotics?

Switch to a gentle laundry detergent?

Poor Arthur. Sending good vibes to you both. 💓💓💓

I'm glad you are having him tested for allergies.
