Later our little guy developed diabetes, so now he is on Science Diet W/D and insulin shots twice a day.
He's been on it a year now and we had xrays at 6 months and again here in another month to be certain that he is not redeveloping the stones.
I'd stick with the vet's recommendation although, like you, I am not a big fan of Royal Canin or Science Diet. |
So, when he initially was diagnosed with stones, there was no surgery? There is no food that will make stones go away. If there was no surgery, I would be hard pressed to blame Royal Canin for surgery a year later. Sounds to me as if the stones were there all along.
