^^^ Also, veggies tend to make urine more alkaline. Bella had a UTI after her spay (which her vet thinks may have been caused by her tiny bladder getting bruised during the procedure), and at that time her urine pH was acidic--6.5. She went on antibiotics and then we repeated the urinalysis only to find the pH was 8.5 (no bacteria or crystals either time)! I actually have a nutritionist who has balanced Bella's diet for me and around the time she went on the antibiotics I asked him if I could add veggies to her diet, which he said was fine. After the last urinalysis, though, I took them back out because of the pH change but also because it had changed her stools, and not for the better! I really need to test her pH again to check and see what it's like now, but everything else is good. I'm wondering if it's the broccoli in your little one's diet that's possibly causing the change?? Also, if what you're homecooking is more than 1/4, I'd say, of his diet, you may want to consider balancing it. You may need to add a multivitamin or something like that to be sure he's getting all the nutrients he needs.
