Hi Dwerten,

I also wanted to address your questions/comments. I had not even considered a gallbladder issue, but I will certainly look into contracted gallbladder. Also, I am going to call my vet tomorrow and ask about probiotics and perhaps cranberry pills. I would love to manage this as naturally as possible if I can, so thank you for the suggestions.

I did make a mistake, and Henry is currently eating S/D although I can't get him to eat it. He will take a few mouth fulls if I feed it to him by hand but he spits most of it our repeatedly. I'm not sure he can live on this for three weeks but I will try. If by tomorrow he is still refusing to eat much of it I'm going to call the vet.

I have not tried getting my own pH strips, but I work as a microscopist and have access to many labs where those would be. I will also be taking dog urine with me to work to see if I see less Struvites over the next few weeks!

Warm Regards
