My vet does not carry Purina ha. I'd have to order it online.

I told them (VET) that's what I wanted her on. They said NO, because the protein is too high and she has a kidney problem.

He wants her on Batryl and the kidney food for 10 days and then test her kidneys again. I think I have an appt on the 16th. Then they will let me know if I can put her on another food.

Her poo was normal size today, but blood in it. She went again tonite but it's dark out so I couldn't check it.

I asked the vet if her intestines are infected if that would elevate her BUN and they said NO! I asked if being on Flagyl, if that could elevate it and they said NO. I just seems like they think she has kidney problems too.

So why do YOU think she has those crystals in her urine?

I also checked out organic pumpkin in a can. I found a store and they won't be open until Tuesday. Thought I'd try that as that was recommended by a yorkee talk person.

I REALLY appreciate all your advise. I guess I'm really concerned about her kidneys because of the test showing a high BUN and I don't want to give her something that would jeoperdize that. It is a major concern as it could be life threatening if not taken care of.

I will watch her closely being on the new RX and and the NF food for a couple days. If no improvement I'll be reading your email again.

Thank you.
