Courtesy of a Writer's Union of Canada grant, Grade 4 will host world-famous author, Kathy Stinson, as a part of the celebration. You may be familiar with Ms Stinson's storybooks Red is Best and Big Or Little.

These include bladder infection, urethral spasm, bladder stones, and crystal formation in the urine. When excess dietary magnesium and other minerals are excreted in urine with an alkaline pH, crystals may form in the bladder. Crystals often have sharp edges that can damage the lining of the bladder and lead to bladder infection. Sometimes these crystals stick together to form stones. Crystals or small stones can form a plug and block . the urethra, preventing the passage of urine. If urine cannot pass the cat is said to be "blocked". Overweight, inactive, neutered male cats are at highest risk of becoming "blocked". Affected cats may sit in the litter box and cry. They may dribble a small amount of bloody urine or be unable to pass any urine at all. These those who have learning disabilities. They will also consider the challenges faced by individuals with physical disabilities, by those who are confronted with racism and by those who are caught up in wartime conflicts. In math, Mrs. Mitchell's Grade 4s have been working on their six-times table while trying to improve their cats become very sick because they are unable to rid themselves of toxins normally passed in the urine. This is an emergency situation requiring immediate veterinary treatment. Diet is a very important aid in the prevention of urinary tract disease in cats. First, encourage water consumption. Next, choose a diet that will promote urinary tract health. Diets labelled "pH control" or "low ash" are good bets. Specifically, the mineral (ash) content of the diet should not exceed six per cent dry matter. Less than 20 mg. magnesium per 100 Kcal of digestible energy is ideal. Beware that not all "low ash" cat foods are created equally! Ask your veterinarian to recommend a diet for your cat. This information is for educational purposes and does not replace regular veterinary care. Always consult your veterinarian regarding questions about your animal. daily Mad Minute scores.
