Winnie's pH level in her urinalysis was 7. The vet's assistant said there was struvite crystals in her urine and that she needed to be put on a specail prescribed diet by Hills.

I refused to buy the food until they could tell me more but the vet's assistant said it could be from a number of things. I wanted to talk to the vet but I was refused. I am going to switch vets, especially after charging me $82 and then I don't even know why she has them or not aloud to speak to the vet!

Anyways, I have changed Winnie to eating just Taste of the Wild High Prairie, soaking it in water, and also 3 treats a day instead of 10 with plenty of water to drink.

When i go to a different vet to get an update in 3 months, I hope that they crystals are gone.

In the mean time, do you know what the normal pH level should be?

THANKS!
