I just had Bella's urinalysis repeated this morning (I was unable to catch, but my bf did after I left for work, yay!, so no cysto this time!).

I came back acidic with a pH of 8.5 (last time, 2 wks ago, it as 6.0), but otherwise normal. The "otherwise normal" part is really good...I'm glad her UTI is gone!! She has been taking Baytril (a chewable antibiotic) for the last 12 days.......the vet that gave it to her said 10, but we had 2 extras so I gave them to her just in case until I could repeat the urinalysis (I wanted to make sure it was gone before we had several days without it).

So, she's been on Baytril the past 7 days. Yesterday was her first day to eat home-cooked, including veggies and supplements (multivitamin, Milk Thistle, Vitamin E....got the Choline today, but she hasn't had it yet, and haven't been able to get the added fiber yet).

So, why would her pH change from slightly basic to acidic in just 2 weeks?? My new vet isn't in today, but her colleague wants me to purchase and use a product called "cranberry comfort" to help change the pH. This is an extra $36 on top of everything else I've had to buy so far in the past 2 weeks, so I'd rather not if there is anything else I can do. Plus, I'd like to know why this happened.....it's just so weird to me!
