Katkor is the new, reliable way to diagnose bladder stones
Katkor is a cat litter that is non-absorbent and therefore very suitable for
collecting urine samples.
If bladder stones (uroliths) is suspected, it is now easier for your vet to
differentiate the various types of bladder stones, (calcium oxalate
crystals, urate crystals and struvite crystals). Due to a recent increase in
cases of calcium oxalate crystals, it is extremely important to be able to
differentiate the various types of crystals. It is also easier to choose the
right diet for your cat: an anti-struvite diet or a diet to treat oxalate or
urate urolithiasis. Your vet can now determine more accurately when to
change over from a diet that reduces inflammation to a diet that prevents
recurrence.
Katkor offers you more
Katkor can be used for collecting urine samples for protein, glucose,
acetones, blood and weight analysis. KatKor is also suitable for collecting
faeces samples for worm eggs and digestion markers. If a urine sample is
required for bacterial analysis, however, an aseptic bladder tap is advised.
Katkor guarantee
Katkor is the trademark of a copolymeric product certified by BGA
(Bundesgesundheitsamtes) and FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) as being
safe in connection with food preparation. Research by AZU (Academic Hospital
in Utrecht, the Netherlands) showed that KatKor in no way influences pH
levels, protein levels or white/red blood cell count in (human) urine
(December 1996, FL projects). A study on similar litter granules showed that
the granules did not absorb or emit calcium, magnesium or phosphate (Z.
Versuchstierkd. 1990; 33; 259-263).
