We stopped the above, hoping that things would not return, but after three months the crystals returned (but not the infection). So we are back on uro-eze, and waiting for the consult with the nutritionist to see if he stays on uro-eze for life.
the uro-eze can be used with any food, I sprinkle it on his food which is home cooked. If you would like to do a home cooked diet you need someone to make the diet for your baby. I can give you the name of our vet nutritionist, she does phone consults, but they are not cheap |
hi, thanks for the info, my little boy was on clovamox for 10 days , only helped a little, he did not have a bacteria infection, though. then the vet put him on zenaquin, which he got really sick, threw up and was so out of it all day and night, i was so scared. then he did a sonogram and took sterile urine from him, to find out he has a few sturvite crystals. thats when he told me to put him on royal canin so canned food. i am trying to avoid him having the crystals turn into stones. i am giving him plenty of water, greek yogurt-plain, and cranberry juice, but i was wondering if the cranberry powder is better for him. these are my ideas, not the vet.
do you know about how much your vet nutrionist charges by phone ?
i will take her number, if you do nto mind, because i will be bringing in a sample in a couple of weeks of him being on the this food and if there is still crystals in his urine, i will have to try something else. what do you think about this? i am worried about him. thanks for your time, i really appreciate it.
