A 14-year-old FS DSH was presented for evaluation of chronic cystitis with current signs indicative of FLUTD. Therapy with Baytril, Buprenex, and Prazosin had shown no response. CBC, serum biochemistry, and T4 were all within reference range. Urinalysis showed SG 1.052, 1+ protein, and 3+ struvite crystals. On survey radiographs, the kidneys had a mottled appearance and there was subtle radio-dense “specks” within the urinary bladder.
