Hi. I actually don't have wee wee pads...not the disposable kind. I bought an incontinence sheet and cut it up and turned it into the washable pads, at least temporarily. The disposible pads are so expensive over here. She only uses those when we go home to the States. But how I actually saw the stones was when she peed outside the pad and the urine landed on the floor. It dried up and when I was walking over the clean it up, the sun hit it just right where I saw the crystals. Also, my baby doesn't just go on the pad. I actually have to put newspaper on top of the pad for her to go on it. We tried just using a disposable pad last year and it was like she wasn't even potty trained. She kept going on the carpets.
So I have to put newspaper down, no matter where she's going. But I also noticed the newspaper had some shiny crystals on it.
I don't know how long she had it. I noticed she was a bit itchy down there about 2 weeks ago, but I took her to the vet and he said she was allergic to something because her whole tummy was red. So he had my giving her baths 2 times a week with a special shampoo. I thought that was maybe why she would lick the area around a bit more than usual.
I have been feeding her veggies and fish for maybe a week before the urine sample was done. But I saw the crystals on Wednesday and then Friday I took a urine sample and took her to the vet. The results said the urine was a little turbid. But that was it.
I'm just giving her the Chicken Soup and stopped the veggies for a bit. But I'm really glad it turned out to be nothing. Although I am not putting her on the Science Diet. I think removing the Evo will help. And when I go home for Christmas, I'll look for the raspberry powder. Thank you for your help.
