I really do appreciate your help. I have been reading extensively on the Internet about UTI and at this point I am tired and confused.
I checked with the vet and Seeme has struvite crystals. He prescribed Baytril (22.7 mg) one half tablet once a day. He also told me to feed him Royal Canin veterinary diet Urinary SO (dry kibbles). It is at this point that I start having questions about both diet and PX.

I have been feeding Wellness for Seniors for about the last three or four months. There were several articles on the Internet that say feeding grain based products could contribute to the formation of these crystals. At this point should I be feeding a food with a low protein level and low carbs? Or should I feed soft diet until this is cleared up? I'm totally confused and need your advise badly.

I have two male Yorkies only three months diffenence in age and my other Yorkie threw up all the Royal Canin food last night.

I am vey tempted to cook a chicken breast, chop it up, add some broth and maybe carrots or raw broccoli and feed that to both boys. Is that a bad idea? Also wonder about apples (chopped), cottage cheese, and plain yogart.

P.S. I don't know whether Wellness is a grain based product or not.
