Blue Wilderness Duck... not a type that was recalled.
I don't know what type of crystals. I am very uniformed on this, and hope to research some more so I feel more comfortable with it. They did a urinalysis and found crystals in her urine. He said she has a bladder infection and he does not know which came first- the crystals or the bladder infection.
I have decided to continue her diet to see if the antibiotic fixes the problem. If so, it was the bladder infection and will be fine. I am really hoping she doesn't have to be on a rx food for the rest of her life.
I have also read that home cooking can help with these crystals. This will be my next option before I feed RC crap
