| Uti So my poor baby boy has a urinary tract infection. When he had an accident in the house last night I was pretty sure something was wrong and then he had to go pee at like 4 in the morning and I KNEW something was wrong.He seems so depressed now. I got him antibitic but he also had crystals in his pee (stuvite) and they usually send home a diet to break up the crystals but because of his food allergies I really dont want him switching food unless absolutely nessicary. I feel so bad for him, looking at those crystals in his pee just made me want to cry!

| You should do the diet until the crystals are gone. Crystals turn into stones and stones need surgery to remove them. At the very least, you should add liquid to the food you are feeding as that helps with struvites. You can add some diluted chicken broth (onion free - walmart great value brand makes one, check the label). You can also ask if you can use the product Uro-eze. That would get added to his regular food. I would still liquify the diet.
