Update on Teddy We took Teddy to see the internist and radiologist today. They found crystals on the ultrasound but everything else was normal (thank god!). So, we are dealing with the struvite crystals again but this time we are diluting his urine. We are using chicken broth or tuna juice in his food to do this. I'm thinking I will stick with the chicken broth or he will stink! LOL. They did not want to try acidifying the urine because it can cause dogs to form calcium oxalates and yorkies are prone to calcium oxalate bladder stones.
So for now it looks like Teddy is just an epileptic with a tremor disorder and struvite crystals. Of course I would like him to have none of these but there are so many worse things that could be as I read about here on YT. So we will be able to manage him and things should be good from here I hope.
Thanks to all the thoughts and prayers for Teddy, they definitely worked !!
