Ralphie had crystals and stones so he needed the surgery. No, I don't use the potassium citrate at all because I'm using the Hills U/D and I'm also using PH strips weekly to test his urine. If I see it go low, then I'll have to use the supplement. So far he's good. His weight has leveled off but I think alot had to do with neutering him at the same time as his stone surgery. He was 5 yrs old when I did it.....he's a little over 5-1/2 now. And he also has a collapsed trachea since he's 5 months old. It's only noticeable when he gets excited about going out for a walk.
